There was a remake made in 2003 that starred Mark Wahlberg, but the less said about that the better. Certain movies should never be remade, and that is certainly true for <em>The Italian Job<\/em>, one of the most interesting films of the 1960s &#8212; and one that still feels oddly both ahead of its time and timeless. Go figure.
