  My son wanted to watch both of these to compare - this is obviously a classic, feel good, good fun film. Always worth a watch.

  Hilarious and really entertaining despite the film being a golden oldie. Recommend for a good night in with a few beers!

  A CLASSIC WITH NO IMPACT
  
  I know this is supposed to be a classic, but I guess I am just not into cop films! Really dull and slow and I can barely remember what went on!

  The Italian Job
  
  A timeless classic, simply brilliant British film making at its best. The re-make was ok but too hollywood for my liking. Michael Caine is top drawer
