I have nothing to base my post on, so if I forget something important let me know, also I'm not selling movies here, I'm typing my opinion of the movie, if yours is different, post.

The Italian Job

1968
Director: Peter Collinson
Starring: Michael Caine, Noel Coward, Benny Hill, Robert Powell
Screenwriter: Troy Kennedy Martin
Running Time: 96mins


So it begins with a great scene of a classic European sports car driving up a winding road on the side of a mountain.

The plan is commit the biggest robbery in its time, and get as much poon as possible at the same time, excellent start.
Charlie (Caine) is surround by women from what I remember, but for me I was torn between the cars and the girls.

Charlie rounds his team up and gets on with it, about half way through the movie they proceed to destroy one of those cars, and the sun of a bitch says "Very funny", I would have kil't the guy.

So the whole point of the movie is coming together and three Mini Coopers are suposed to excape full of gold, by driving the Minis through buildings and alleys untill, well watch it I'm not ruining it for you, but the chase was nuts, I loved it.

Well for me I'd say it was a damn good film and I'll definitly watch it again.

My rating: 8 For one of the best car chase scenes ever filmed.

It was a good scene but I would give the movie in general a 6.

the origional was alot better than the new one, and i would give it a 7 (due to car chase scene)

I thought it was great how subtle the references to this one in the new one were.
