MINIs/Minis in the Movies

[ragtopday Johnna]

I've seen a couple of movies recently with MINIs and a Mini in them. First, the new Muppets movie. Several MINIs in the movie, plus some children's artwork depicting a Mini. Tonight I saw Young Adult with Charlize Theron. She was driving a MINI, looks pretty much like what she drove in The Italian Job. (An aside, was/is a cassette deck an option in MINIs? There was one in the movie car.)

Anyone else got any recent MINI/Mini movie spottings?

There's a whole database of them on IMDB, just for info's sake.....

Go here to see the Minis page..... http://imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Mini&model=

Thanks for the link. Interesting stuff there. Always interesting to hear from others in our community, too though.

And that poor MINI in Young Adult. Sheesh. It needed a bath...and finally a good body shop. Ouch.

Merry Christmas to our fellow MINI lovers! Went to see Young Adult - poor MINI - not well taken care of but not surprising as Charlize's character was a mess.
For a much light hearted movie, my favorite is The Holiday with Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet with Cameron driving a Red and White MCS in England.
Just paid $200 for a new tire this week as I had a puncture on my run flat with only 4000 miles, 6 months old. Merry Christmas gift for my MINI

Another to add to the list, What to Expect When You're Expecting. One of the moms-to-be drives a PW MINI and the baby shower invitation is all sorts of fuchsia MINI cuteness.
