The Italian Job
Directed by Peter Collinson
Charlie's got a 'job' to do. Having just left prison he finds one of his friends has attempted a high-risk job in Torino, Italy, right under the nose of the mafia. Charlie's friend doesn't get very far, so Charlie takes over the 'job'. Using three Mini Coopers, a couple of Jaguars, and a bus, he hopes to bring Torino to a standstill, steal a fortune in gold and escape in the chaos. From TMDB

A friend recently revealed that on most Sundays, her family would get together and watch a film after a Sunday roast. The Great Escape? The Italian Job? No no no…they’d watch The Hitcher (1986). Every other week. For decades

positive · AI labelView post →Reviewers say 'The Italian Job' delivers an irresistibly charming heist film anchored by Michael Caine's charismatic performance and spectacular Mini Cooper chase sequences that rank among cinema's greatest.
neutral · AI labelView post →In one of the most happy coincidences in cinema history, Michael Caine and Quincy Jones were BOTH born on March 14th, 1933, AND, they came together working on the classic action caper THE ITALIAN JOB (1969). Another stellar score by Jones. Enjoy the fun! 3/* #filmsky #musicsky #botd #moviesky

neutral · AI labelView post →FILM FACTZ! The Italian Job ending originally had Michael Caine and the robbers getting away with all the gold, but the prop for Caine’s gigantic inflatable balloon head (a twist reveal intended by screenwriter Troy Kennedy Martin) wouldn’t work on set.
neutral · AI labelView post →This film is basically a snarling, insecure rant about the emotional loss of the British empire's decline. The Italian Job pretends to be charming with the same fig leaf of saccharine dishonesty as that other great Trojan horse of right wing cruelty, Forrest Gump. Unlikeable, covetous, pathetic.
negative · AI labelView post →Watched objectively, The Italian Job is a dreadful film, saved only by the last two minutes.
negative · AI labelView post →The 1969 movie The Italian Job ends on a literal cliff hanger.

neutral · AI labelView post →The film became some kind of weird poster child for the recent ‘I’m Backing Britain’ campaign, a slogan searching for a purpose. Us against them, against all odds, a soft centred fantasy of violent criminals sticking it to the Italians. My ★★★½ review of The Italian Job on Letterboxd boxd.it/aOWT07
neutral · AI labelView post →I think I’ve made a similar observation before, probably about a similar movie, but there should be a law that The Italian Job be available to stream for free on at least like two services
neutral · AI labelView post →The #MichaelCaineFilmFestival 🎥 continues with The Italian Job. I'm reminded that one of my very few surviving Matchbox cars from my youth is this red Mini Cooper. Also thought that George's driving skills in Magical Mystery Tour would qualify him as a driver in this classic film. 👍👍

neutral · AI labelView post →HOT TAKE 🔥 I do wish the heist itself was significantly longer, but the 2003 remake of The Italian Job is overall a better film than the 1969 original with Michael Caine.

positive · AI labelView post →The Italian Job (1969) - the cliffhanger ending is set up as a springboard for a sequel but the film underperformed in the U.S. market. 😧

negative · AI labelView post →special shout out to Peter Collinson and Curtis Harrington, both of whom did some really fascinating work in this era but again feel like they're considered minor figures by film history. Collinson made The Italian Job but his horror/thriller work has a real mean streak that's oddly strong

I didn’t get to enjoy it all. You were only supposed to blow the BLOODY DOORS OFF! Hold on lads. I’ve got an idea. Err… Err…
