1. THE ITALIAN JOB !!!! The 1969 original is fabulous; the 2003 remake is a waste of time.

The Mini Cooper chase scenes and stunts are the best. OMG the tunnel!!

2. One of my all time favorites -

The Flim-Flam Man (titled One Born Every Minute in some countries) is a 1967 American comedy film directed by Irvin Kershner, featuring George C. Scott, Michael Sarrazin, and Sue Lyon, based on the 1965 novel The Ballad of the Flim-Flam Man by Guy Owen.
