Movies with MINI's/Mini's in them

Just like the title says, I want to start a list of all the films that have MINI or Mini content. Films with more than a 'oh, there's one parked in the background', but that maybe have a main character driving one. Of course I'll start the list with the three obvious ones, which also are the only ones I can remember;
Bourne Conspiracy
Italian Job (of the 60's)
Italian Job (of 2000)

I watched a low budget British film a couple of years ago that had the main character driving a clapped out classic 'S', which ended up on a trash barge, but I can't remember the name.

I quite liked that movie Storm Breaker... it was a pretty big part that the MINI was in Not as big as the Italian JOb mind you but still somewhat BIG!

If the world didn't suck we'd all fall off!

Good Bye Pork Pie:

Looked for this film on you tube a couple of months ago and there were quite a few clips. I saw this once when I was about 15 and I'm now 40 but I remember it being a good 'mini' film.
