Comments on: The Italian Job (2003) http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2007/08/05/the-italian-job-2003/ Film reviews and commentary tonight, before I forget tomorrow Wed, 23 May 2012 03:27:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Sara http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2007/08/05/the-italian-job-2003/comment-page-1/#comment-1358 Sara Wed, 22 Aug 2007 02:51:42 +0000 http://thisdistractedglobe.com/2007/08/05/the-italian-job-2003/#comment-1358 I've actually seen this one twice. So that's saying something. AND I showed it to my parents on our first Thanksgiving without my little sister, who was in Dallas with her fairly new husband's family. We watched it while I made my first-ever turkey in my first-ever apartment. It's a rather good memory and probably makes me remember the movie even more fondly. I’ve actually seen this one twice.

It would make a great double feature with the remake of <em>The Thomas Crown Affair</em>. Jeremy: Thanks! After your comment, I remembered how outstanding the music by John Powell was in this. The opening credits sequence in particular struck me as sounding elegant and cool. Heidi: I’d definitely recommend putting The Italian Job on your Netflix queue.

If there are three cooler people than Mark, Charlize and David in Hollywood then I don't know where they are hiding. I agree with pretty much everything you said and have also lamented the fact that the usually reliable Norton basically phoned this one in. I love the original also but I think this is easily one of the best rethinkings of an original in the past decade. I also love the soundtrack album and highly recommend it for you...fantastic score. Can't wait for "The Brazilian Job" Great post... I freaking love the remake of this film.

Your review makes me curious, though. Can it possibly be as infectious as the original? Might have to rent the DVD and see for myself.
