The Italian Job (1969)
00:36:01
"You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"
Charlie Croker (Michael Caine) drops this sharply British remark after a mishap with explosives leaves an entire van destroyed instead of just its doors. The dry wit and understated humor make it a classic moment in cinematic comedy.

Storyline
Charlie has a "job" to do. Having just left prison, he finds one of his friends has attempted a high-risk job in Italy right under the nose of the Mafia. Charlie's friend doesn't get very far, so Charlie takes over the "job". Using three Mini Coopers, a couple of Jaguars, and a bus, he hopes to bring Turin to a standstill, steal the gold, and escape.
