Forgive me if this subject has been raised before but I'm new here, apart from the Italian Job and Goodbye Porkpie, what other films have featured our favourite car? Tonight I'm going to watch the Bourne Identity

[clambert81]

Mr bean!!!!

Confessions Of A Window Cleaner - Timmy Lee drives around in a red Mini Van
On The Buses - Any of the three On The Buses films. Classic car spotters paradise.
Thunderpants - Every car is a green Mini if I remember rightly.
Three Men and a Little Lady - Tom Selleck drives a red Mini in it.
East is East - there is a green Hornet or Elf parked in the street where the family live.
A Shot In The Dark - classic Peter Sellers film
Not really a film but an episode of Some Mothers Do Av 'Em, Frank Spencer attempts to learn to drive in a white Mini that ends up in a river.

Yes MK2 Mini 1000 kills a zombie (that Mini appears almost throughout the film). This film is very good and I've had a coy on DVD for several years. I believe there's an updated 2 disc release now, so every Mini owners home should have one.

Yes and I insisted they added this particular rare Mini film called 'Vive Le Sport' (1969) to their list: -

Scroll down the page and you can watch the whole film either via my MySpace link, or in 3 parts via YouTube.

Oh and the groovy girl driving the Mini is Liane Engeman who is a famous Dutch born ex-racing car driver. The other girl (Beth Morris) is an actress and I was amazed to discover she came from Swansea.

Ay, we've had the DVD for a few years as well. It was filmed in Castleton and Dovedale in Derbyshire so it's got 'local' interest as well as mini interest for us

Thankyou, I'll be sure to look at that.

What about The Avengers remake?

Had the two black/white Coopers in it?

Think the film was a box office flop

[Boycie]

The title sequence of 'Carry On Lovin' has a lovely early Aqua Mk3 Mini in it, on an 1970 H plate IIRC, it's identical to my first car.

[THE STIG]
