DVD RECOMMENDATION: ITALIAN JOB (1969)

The original 1969 ITALIAN JOB, starring a young Michael Caine. Man, they just don't make movies like this anymore, which is a crying shame. Forget the embarrassing "remake" a couple years ago and go rent this movie! Michael Caine is great and the story, directing, everything, kicks ass! Caine and his crew takes on the mob, the police and gridlocked traffic of Turin to rob a heavily armed shipment of gold bullion. It's Ocean's Eleven (orig) meets old school James Bond meets......something (haven't had my coffee yet, sorry). Plus the MiniCooper chase scene is great! If you haven't seen it before, or haven't seen it in awhile, go rent it sometime. Like I said, they just don't make movies like this anymore.

I give this, for SpaceJase's sake, 19 lil Jimmys, out of 22.1052
