Since its launch in 2001 the new MINI has made many outings on the silver screen, the obvious one being the 2003 remake of the 1969 Mini classic, The Italian Job. But if you’re a die hard MINI fan, and you fancy broadening your movie viewing habits a tad, then maybe this list can provide you with a little inspiration.
We’ve scoured the internet and our own movie collections (we’ll let you guess which is which) to come up with a list of ten movies of varied style and genre that feature the MINI. In some of the films listed the MINI takes front and centre stage, while in others our little hero may only make a relatively fleeting appearance. We’ve comedies, dramas, horror and world movies on our list, hopefully a little something for everyone.
You may even impress your friends or partner with your sudden interest in diverse movie titles from around the World. We would just advise you don’t watch them all in a row, unless they’re as much of a MINI nut as your are, otherwise they may just figure out what you’re up to.
Each movie on the list contains a link to the Internet Movie Database page for that feature, if you want a little further reading.
