Man, someone needs to compile a Filmography of Movies with MINIs for this game - we are coming back to the same ones -

Italian Job I and II
Austin Powers
Hitch
Bourne Identity
Spanglish
Match Point
Miss Congeniality 2
Wicker Park
Tomb Raider

There have to be many more - particularly the classic MINI.

Ok, I have some more obscure movies with Minis.

"Some Kind of Wonderful" Eric Stolz, Mary Stuart Masterson, Lea Thompson

"International Velvet" Tatum O'Neal, Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Plummer
(At one point in the movie, some guys think it would be funny to chase the "stuck-up" Tatum character and scare her on her horse. They chase her around a field in a Mini, which somehow blows up, killing the boys in it)

Brad was married to Jennifer Aniston who was in Friends with David Schwimmer who played in Band of Brothers with Donny Wahlberg the brother of Mark Wahlberg who stared in the Italian Job with the Mini Cooper.
OK, I just wanted to point out that you can do this one in 2 steps...

George Clooney was in Three Kings with Marky Mark Wahlberg, who was obviously in The Italian Job.

Sorry, couldn't resist. What do I win?
