The Italian Job (1969 movie)

I bloody love this film. Just a great and funny film with stars including Benny Hill, John Le Mesurier, David Kelly, Valerie Leon, and Henry McGee.

Anyone else watched this film?

"You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off."

Brilliant film a gold plated classic unlike the absolute shit remake,which was meh x 10

Zulus....

Fowzands of em...

Oh sorry

Wrong film

Who stars in it, George? Angelic

George everybody has watched this film. Except Prince Philip. He is religiously opposed to it due to its anti-Greek orthodox church overtones.

I've not

Not a lot of people know that

It must be such a burden carrying such a secret And nobody seemingly caring.

Shock....ing. That's an automatic 100 lashes of Aaron's tongue. Although I'm told some people like that sort of thing :$

Oh I've seen little clips

Minis driving around little roads n stuff

Plus, Caine says 'bloody' quite a lot I gather

And I can't stand swearing

There's just no f**king need

I watched this once and thought it was incredibly boring. I actually ended up wishing lice on the person who made me watch it.

:O

(Recovers)

Yes, I always find heist movies dull. Give me Holiday On The Buses any day...

Probably the best comedy drama film ever. The comedy to drama ratio is perfect, the script by drama screenwriter TKM is scattered with great funny lines yet it never stops it being a heist thriller first. Brilliant script.

Clement and LeFrenais were big fans and Porridge the movie uses several elements of TIJ in its story as if in a mini tribute to it.

But without the minis?

Not in prison! Well not officially of course, behind the bedroom doors who knows?
