The Italian Job
The self-preservation society, blowing bloody doors off, daisy roots, Mini Coopers - the Michael Caine crime corker is back.
Plot
A gang of cockney villains, led by small-time thief Charlie Croker (Caine), undertake a daring gold bullion robbery in the heart of Turin dressed as England footie supporters and driving a trio of Union Jack colour-coded Minis.
Verdict
As a film, The Italian Job is hardly a work of unalloyed genius; but as a reminder of the time when Britannia really was cool, it's peerless.
