I have heard that The Italian Job was a good movie that shouldn't be missed, but it's taken us several months to finally get around to watching it. You never really know how a movie endorsement is going to turn out (don't even get me started on what a bad movie The Crying Game was, made all the more shocking by the number of people who said it was a good movie...).

Back to the present. The Italian Job is a fun, fast-paced action/crime movie that's pretty darn entertaining to watch. So entertaining that we ended up watching it several times before returning it to the video store.

The original version from 1969 is supposedly a decent film, though one reviewer said it wasn't as good as the 2003 remake. Could be fun to watch Michael Caine and Benny Hill as younger guys.
