Never seen the original, but the remake was a piece of generic heist dross.

Yes Blue, I liked the ending.

But I was very interested to hear what Sir Michael had to say.

Surprised that more people haven't posted - I thought the thread title was something all PH people would relate to.

Maybe I'm just getting old wink

Its great just the way it is... no need to ponder on 'what if'...

If she doesnt need arms to be considered a classic icon of art - then we dont need to know what happened to Charlie and his chums:



I'm not even going to mention the abomination that was the modern film of the same name... if we dont talk about it, it never happened, right?

Yeah, right - they sit there for x hours running the engine so the fuel tank lightens enough for them to get down to the end. Boolox.

All they needed to do was get all bar one of them out of the front door and sit on the bumper to hold the front down, then the lightest one could go down and get the gold.

If another ending was filmed in 1969, as Michael Caine suggested, does it still exist?

I’d like to see that.
