Honestly, this one s a bit overrated.

The last third is great and theres Michael Caine. The rest is nothing much to write home about.

As a whole, the remake is better.

@LeadFarmer  I think we'll just throw gummy bears and not rocks for not seeing this one.

 

I was about to write the exact same thing as @hal56 above and completely agree.   In 1969 it was not well received, even in its original release.  It's become a cult film, really,  based on its silliness, imo.  And also, with the early 2000s Mini Cooper revival, it has gained some traction simply because, well, the Mini is really the star of the movie.

 

Knowing your music prefs @LeadFarmer, the score by Q is great, prob best thing about the film.  I enjoy the original for the late sixties swagger, but the remake is a much better film imo.
