This British heist movie starring Michael Caine (remade in 2003 with Mark Wahlberg) finds a group of gold thieves transporting their loot through Turin, Italy in a red, white, and blue Mini Cooper. They go down stairs, through enclosed arcades, up (and back down) a curved rooftop, over an epic traffic jam and, finally, through a series of large sewer pipes. Though they never seemingly go too fast, its their bloody single mindedness that makes this such a memorable chase. There’s never much suspense — the robbers seem to have everything fully planned out — so the sequence’s biggest thrill is in observing the fruits of a job well done.
