If you loved The Italian Job, try Lift
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Lift has roughly 4.2× fewer votes than The Italian Job — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by F. Gary Gray, and they both carry the playful, raw mood tags, and they sit in Action / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Italian Job, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Lift is
Mid-air at 40,000 feet, a passenger plane hums along. A crew of thieves plots to steal $500 million in gold. F Gary Gray orchestrates a high-stakes caper.
