Movie MINIs

Since getting my Mini, it seems like I keep seeing Minis everywhere.....obviously, there is the Italian Job.....but I've also seen Minis on Scrubs (ok, so that's actually tv) and in the movie Hitch. I thought I'd start a post about where we see other Minis.

And I'm sorry if this thread exists somewhere else.....

That's great! Too bad it disappeared. I had forgotten about the Mini in the Bourne movie....and it was a great Mini too.

Yep, but whats even better after you get your MINI is you'll be watching this movie, but when your watching it, you'll most likely be thinking in your mind, what cool car this is, and then think, yep, I finally have one! But, don't worry you'll still be watching The Italian Job a lot even after you get your MINI!

Motor On!

P.S. Have fun with your new MINI, I hope you have some cool adventures/memorable experiences with your new MINI! Motor On!

If you haven't watch the original Italian Job for 1969 it's worth watching too. Block Buster has it for $1.99. The original Mini do some great tricks.

Last week while home sick, I was watching a bunch of Home Improvement and they had an episode that started out with a Mini on the Tool Time set where they were doing some work on it.

"The Italian Job" is waiting at home to be viewed, even as our new MINI is approaching the Port of New York and New Jersey!

The first Mini I ever saw in a movie was 1987's Some Kind of Wonderful with Mary Stuart Masterson and a beat up Mini. From that point on the obsession started.

Or maybe he loves his Mini so much that it's the only car they won't blow up.

I was watching a recent episode of Numbers, and the girl who was the murderer was driving a MINI. I remember when I first saw it, asking, "Why did it have to be the villain?"

I was really looking forward to watching the original Italian Job after watching, and loving, the newer version. In my opinion, the newer movie was much better and much easier to watch. The older one seemed to drag throuhout and take forever to get to big Mini chase scene(s).
