20 Best Italian Movies On Amazon Prime (2022 Updated)

After a Venice Gold Heist, Steve (Edward Norton) double crosses his partners in crime, killing safecracker John Bridger and keeps all the gold for himself. The rest of the team vows revenge on Steve and seeks the aid of Bridgers daughter, played by Charlize Theron.

One year later the team finds Steve in Los Angeles and put an elaborate plan in action to get there revenge on Steve and recover the Gold. While laundering his Gold Steve kills his buyer, a cousin of a Ukrainian mob boss.

He soon pays the price when the Team delivers Steve to the mob and the team walks away with most of the Gold. The HD version is good but not great. The audio is done in Dolby Digital 5. 1.

This is a fun movie. It’s an American remake of the classic British move of the same name that started Michael Caine, Benny Hill, and Noël Coward. The basic storyline is the same, but updated for the times.

Lots of seat of your pants action, romance, and comedy. The cast is perfect.

A great remake of the 1960s version starring Michael Caine. In this version Mark Wahlberg’s character and his crew do a great job seeking revenge on a former crew member gone rogue. Plenty of action.

Michael Caine is fun in this movie. Much lighter in tone than the remake. Just wish the ending was different–i. e. that it had actually BEEN an ending. The cliffhanger leaves the cast (literally) and audience (figuratively) hanging.

I understand they were hoping for a sequel, but it never happened, so there’s no wrap-up to the story. Too bad. Definitely would have given it a higher rating otherwise.

Movie opens with Matt Monroe’s ‘On Days Like These’ set against a sports car traveling through high snow covered mountains. Pleasantly haunting. Hotel worker; beautiful. Crafty robbery plan to jam the cities traffic leads to police/robber car chase involving tiny sports cars.

Michael Caine is aloof, flighty and serious. Noel Coward is commanding. The movie takes you away to another place and time. Worth watching. Both movie and song are rare.

PLOT:a bold day light robbery for gold is the FUN scheme~ 1960. Torin Italy~EX CON ~ Charlie Crocker (Michael Caine) takes over the plans for a bold robbery~ getting the GREEDY team~ included is a computer programmer who adores hefty women~ and 3 of the BEST drives in europe~ the heist is pulled off like clock work ~ when the *computer system* that controls traffic is highjacked by Charlie and his GANG and 3 minis (CARS) full of gold ~ make a clever escape over buildings, across a weir~ in a tunnel~ and through buildings.

all under the eyes of the mofia~ who want to steal the gold from Charlie. ~ included in the GANG are~ Benny Hill, Rossano Brazzi, and Rafe Vallone as the mafia head. the excellent chase scene makes up for the first 45 minutes of this movie which drags, the funny clever ending make this a must see for *heist movies fans*~ I GIVE THIS 5 OUT OF 5 FOR excellent script~ humor and one entertaining/fun chase scene~ LOOK out for the *self preservation society* LOL.

Lost my copy a few years ago, glad to have I back in my collection. Classic. This criterion collection version is the best. Cool packaging and good manufacture on the disc.

This one of my wife and I’s favorite films, absolutely hilarious! Best of all, it’s true! Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro are fantastic! Terry Gilliam (12 Monkeys, Monty Python) does an amazing job bringing Hunter S.

Thompson’s novel to the screen. Loaded with special features, I highly recommend this special edition! Trust me, it’s worth every penny!.

I watched 8 1/2 on TV and found that the thing I enjoyed most was what wasn’t there. The characters just lived. Kids ran around and played together, they did not just sit alone moving only there thumbs concentrating on some violent video game.

Nobody had their life swamped with ads for Medicare suppliment plans, final expense insurance, lasic surgery, and the dreaded “belly fat. ” Nobody sat for hours staring at “reality” shows having nothing to do with reality.

The movie reminded me of the days when people were alive. After I watched it, I turned off the tube, walked in the forest, talked with people, sat in a cafe; basically I went searching for a life I’d misplaced.

Who can argue with the quality of work Criterion puts into classic film re- habilitation? Picture and sound restoration and improvement. And the bonus explanation as to how it got there. You really need to see this release; A/B it against the Art-House version or the original laser disc release.

Cha cha cha.

It seems silly for me to even address the quality of 8 1/2, one of the real masterpieces of Italian classic cinema — which came out just as my fascination with fine film was growing in my years of intellectual birth and hence draws great warmth from me whenever I have a chance to see it.

It is one of the dozen DVDs I have in a collection. Although it is about the world of film; it is about “modern” life and the pressures of urban life and layering of responsibilities from work, family, and the drive towards mental and spiritual tranquility.

And Criterion always puts out a good product with stimulating special features — this time a full disc of commentary, etc. This was a good value that provided entertainment and intellectual challenge.

If you are engaged with life, you will be engaged with each of the characters in 81/2.

As a first & second Generation Italian American I enjoyed this series very much. The only thing that left me wanting is the overly strong emphasis on the East Coast and the Mafia. Those themes seemed to override presenting a broader picture of Italian American culture and roots, ( as always!).

My own family, for instance, settled in Northern California around the turn of the last century. The came from the Lombardy region in Northern Italy. They did pass through Ellis Island, but soon boarded a train out west.

Their, and my own, experience as Italian Americans differs vastly on many levels from those that settled in the East Coast. Their experience was more rural and they assimilated sooner than their East Coast urban peers.

Of course, you cannot profile an entire culture in just a few episodes. So all in all it was a very enjoyable show to watch.

I am very grateful for this very moving series. It was a learning experience, so far from my own as a member of the second generation. I was brought up inculcated to believe being Italian was the best you could be.

After all, they spoke the most beautiful language in the world, and ate the most exquisite food. Even more importantly, were the most brilliant people on earth! Proof: They invented everything! I know my Grandparents worked very hard, and that trait has been passed down even to their Great Great Grandchildren.

I love, honor, and cherish them more each day, and feel desolate to think of what they must have endured. They were gifts to the world. Alas, I am part of the last of the pure Italians. The world turns, and there is nothing new under the sun.

I was so glad to finally track down a good copy. The history of the Italian Immigrant experience is expertly told and really informative. Having Italian ancestry, I have a better understanding of the struggles that my ancestors endured.

Absolutely wonderful.

Good customer service, great movie, enjoyed it. Four stars. I liked this movie way better than oceans set. I did not enjoy those at all. This was well set up, and the plot was well done. Too bad Donald Sutherland’s character died, I really liked that character.

This movie is just flat out FUN movie to watch over and over again. It is an update to “The Italian Job” made in the 60’s (???) with Michael Caine, but this version is so stylish, so hip, and so well done.

The only cast members to reappear are the Mini Coopers ~ and boy, are they slick! All of the stars did their own driving, and you can tell they are having a ball through the twists and turns of the chase scene and through the intelligent twists and turns of the plot.

This is NOT your ordinary heist film! And if Seth’s rendition of conversation between Handsome Rob and Becky doesn’t stay with you after the movie, you’re not paying attention to his on-screen ad-libbing! Utterly engrossing and enjoyable.

Highly recommended. PS: John Powell’s music score from the movie is a must-have, also! PPSS: Trivia fans will note the original “Italian Job” with Michael Caine playing on a background tv when Mark Wahlberg goes to visit Charlize Theron!! Victoria Ent.

He is an amazing talent that no one has used to his full potential. This movie was a good one and Seth got to be the comic relief once again. And he was hilarious as usual! *NOTICE* Seth got a chance to change his voice a little while speaking for two other characters.

James Lipton knows what I’m talking about, that is an art. I’m ready for him to get the lead role in a GOOD movie. He can handle it, yet for some reason the people in Hollywood overlook him. Now granted, that may be because he’s short, but he is still untouched talent.

He’s been in SO many movies, as well as television, and he is STILL the supporting actor. It’s time for Seth to lead the way, go for it Seth. And go get him Hollywood!!!.

My wife and I rewatched this over our Winter Break. The movies looked great are our Dolby Vision TV. Including the regular blu-ray versions is a plus, I’m giving them to my sister. Wait for a sale, at full price it’s too much.

I bought them during the sale when it was around $65-$70 for the whole set. At that price, it’s worth the upgrade from blu ray if you have a Dolby vision capable tv. If you have a cheaper 4K tv, you won’t notice much of a difference.

I don’t don’t care about digital copies, but if you do they are not included.

This is not the full extended version I watched years ago. The quality is good, sound is good, what’s missing?? Well let just say I was disappointed in Half Blood Prince…. Did it show Dumbledores funeral or burial….

And some scenes missing in the last Deathly Hollows…. Hagrids brother is not in scene when fighting takes place and he helps the good side…. And oh… the scenes where Harry is killed, and the final battle is less interesting… how Harry informs V that he’s not gonna win and the facial V makes when he realizes it IS NOT IN THIS MOVIE!!! Different and less enjoyable….

Would I recommend this to anyone? Yes only if you’ve never seen the originals… you won’t miss what you don’t know.

I’m pretty happy with the picture quality and the sound quality of this set. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel having DTS-X as opposed to Dolby Atmos for sound, but it’s pretty awesome in my opinion. I checked the BluRay versions and there’s not much in the way of additional content but I owned the original 8 disc BluRay set and so for me personally it’s a no.

Issue, especially when I get extended editions of the first two films. The quality of the packaging was really the worst part about this boxed set. The flimsy plastic hinged two sided disc holders are pretty terrible and have a hard time holding the discs in place, so be very careful when you open the sets up.

Also I was perturbed there isn’t a digital copy of the films and would have preferred to have that over the BluRay copies included in the set.

Exactly as described. Fast shipment. Plays through, no freezes, skips. The meaning behind true love is not through force, it’s sacrifice. Vampires or not. Patience plays very well in some ways in this movie when it comes to getting as they want.

There’s nothing like a good fantasy for love & in each disc, Bella is a mature character who has been through love & hate but in the end, it only begins. She may have been a little confused but she knew exactly as she wanted.

Fighting for her life continually & her Prince continues to rescue her coming out from nowhere to only go through deep waters again. Teenager bella still fights & faces any unexpected surprises for the love of her life.

Love doesn’t cost a thing when it comes to sacrifice.

I love this series. The DVD was great. The video quality as also very good. I had bought another, different DVD from another source and the video quality was terrible. I was grateful that this one was clear and well focussed and everything about it was fine.

It was a good price too.

5 movie series packed vampires, werewolves, and the messed up vampire leaders. Action packed BLISS! Edward and Bella, I must admit my heart leaps as their relationship grows. Two arch enemies, come together to save their families.

Bygones are set aside and the team unite which brings about victory for all. I watch this series several times a month. Twilight, the first in the series I must watch i three times, not to mention watch favorite scenes over and over again.

WHAT A LOVE STORY!.

Jen Lilley as Isabella and Dan Jeannotte as Jacques (in his first Hallmark Channel movie) star. They are wonderful together. Isabella was all business as an ambitious new winery owner; Jacques is a wine maker from a prestigious family winery.

Jacques is entranced with Isabella and respects her for her expert knowledge of wine. It was filmed in Paris, France just a few weeks before the bombing of Cathedral of Notre Dame. Get a good look of the Cathedral as the backdrop in some the scenes before the devastation.

I bought the dvd because Paris, Wine.

lots of scenery. you get a tour. some nice fashions. peplum dress is amazing in paris. formal event in paris. some formals in rome.

Two more great clean romances. Lots of nice scenery in these as well.

For some stupid reason, I’ve always thought that Disney made only American movies, but Luca was originally intended for an Italian audience. The movie is in English while some Italian is tastefully kept.

It’s a lovely cartoon about coming of age, which I highly recommend to “children” of all ages. Now I have to see if “El Hada de los Suenos,” a Spanish cartoon that I saw a few years ago, is also available in English.

That too was a nice cartoon.

This is going to be a mixed review. I was bored with the first part of the movie, kept thinking of ways they could have made it more entertaining, and I almost fell asleep 3 times. On the other hand, my husband and grandsons liked it, partly because for once it was guys that were the main characters, and they liked the buddy relationship.

My granddaughters also didn’t like it as much as the guys did.

Nice family movie. Great for children and the child at heart. Quite enjoyable! Easy to understand the meaning and purpose. Good movie to teach tolerance and acceptance.

Great to have another unique animated title like this, since most stuff these days seems to all be the same old formula as far as animated features go. A real breath of fresh air if you’re a fan of older roto-scoped or animated fantasy films like Fire & Ice, Lord Of The Rings, or Heavy Metal, this is highly recommended for you.

Also included is a making of extra that runs around half an hour if memory serves, but I do wish that it would have included a commentary for the feature presentation.

Okay, so I’ll admit I purchased this because of the art on the case and a desire for something animated. I absolutely didn’t know what I was getting into, but that’s not a bad thing for this film. It’s dark, gritty, gruesome and raw.

I wish I could find more shows like this as easily as I can find anime that baits you into a similar experience (Berserk is about as close as it gets).

Wow!!! What a great film the ideas are admittedly better than the film itself. but this film was no small feat to produce. the story arc is very interesting and not completely original but enough so to give it something special.

I’d recommend this to anyone who likes films. like to your last death mixed with heavy metal. with some heavy mysticism and cosmic Lovecraft type elements in it’s mythology. Highly recommend!.

Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks, one of the greatest actor/director duos to ever come out of Hollywood take Saving Private Ryan into the halls where classic masterpiece movies go to be cherished and honored for all history.

supported by an all-star group of actors this is one of the most graphic, violent, realistic, and believable war movies set to the backdrop of WWII. But it is not all blood and gore, it has a strong moral message the last few generations couldn’t hurt to learn, along with a moving story and characters you really learn about and want to spend more time with them.

it is also a great movie to use as a learning opportunity about the horrors and sacrifices, courage and brotherly bonds that formed during the great war.

One of the best film I have ever watched. Great story, the sound and picture quality is superb! Everything about it is good. I highly recommend this film to be included in your collection. So sad I wasn’t able to grab the steel book as the regular edution does not have a slip cover.

I really don’t know why Bestbuy does not include the slip cover when they ship the 4k bluray. Is Tha the thing righ now??? Good thing the copy that they sentlooks good!.

4K viewing – if it is a good burn – and with proper equipment, nearly duplicates the theater experience. This disc is a good burn. The only review needed for the movie per se is to note that Saving Private Ryan is the gold standard for war movies.

Video and Audio – 5×5. VIDEO: Shot in darker tones appropriate to the the genre but with excellent Contrast and Sharpness. Dolby Vision. AUDIO: What one would expect and need in a war movie — booming explosions and crackling gun shots.

Excellent center channel that rnders Hanks soft, unique voice easily understandable. Highly recommend.

This movie is extremely underrated. If you haven’t seen it, give it a watch right now! It’s a Ghibli film so expect to see comedy, action and a little bit of romance. As well as sadness(but not so much).

Came in perfect condition, box unharmed and unopened, will update if and when dvd is opened for quality check

Great story… Great animation…Great value..

I purchased the Transformers Five Movie Collection, but instead I got just a DVD of ONE of the movies: Transformers The Last Knight. Not to mention, the case was in terrible condition, and the disc kept falling out.

It was a waste of money and my time, and I’m still waiting on my refund after I returned it. Don’t even bother purchasing this from Google Shopping, because they will just cheat you at the end of the day.

This series is HORRIBLE. the dinobots are more like pets, Devistator was a giant dog/vacuum??? and the plot for each movie is OPTUMIS IS A BAD GUY. no wait hes good. HES A BAD GUY AGAIN. nope hes still a good guy.

HES BAD!! like really people??? delete these movies please.

I purchased this dvd set as a Christmas gift for my husband. He absolutely loves the Transformer movies. The item was delivered quickly and was packaged so not damage occured. I cant wait for him to open it on Christmas.

the only down side is that now we will spend Christmas day watching Transformer movies!!.

In a digital world, many people now watch movies on their gadgets via Netflix, Hulu, etc but my family is different. While we appreciate those options, we still treasure our VHS and DVD movies. So when my children spotted this movie in Best Buy and asked for it, I said ok.

It came with two discs. My children love this movie and have watched it countless times. That is why they wanted to add it to their movie collection. I have watched it with them and it is a pretty good movie for people of all ages.

Time we left Best Buy, my children opened the movie and popped it into the DVD player in my vehicle. That is another reason they gravitated towards it. We travel a lot, so dvd movies come in handy while on the road.

I think this movie is hilarious and interesting.

In the cannon of Pixar movies, I wouldn’t classify this as top-tier along the lines of Wall-E or Finding Nemo. It’s a minor Pixar movie. But even a minor Pixar movie is still very good and very much worth watching! There’s a few surprises, one very very good scene, and an overall pleasant ambience.

Just don’t expect to re-watch it as often as Ratatouille.

Charming coming of age film about fleeting childhood summers, making new friends, & broadening your horizons. Beautifully set on a seaside Italian town modeled after the Cinque Terre, sea monster boy, Luca, spends his summer learning about friendship from Alberto and Giulia, and exploring the world beyond his natural home.

Wonderful family film that both the young & young at heart will enjoy.

Excellent movie! I saw it in theaters about 15 times! Austin is incredible as Elvis Presley and if you were not an Elvis fan prior to watching this (I wasn’t) you will be after you see this. The storyline, the music, the costumes.

even the opening graphics – Baz put together a well done biopic.

Tom Hanks once again proves how versatile he can be taking on the role of Col Parker and nailing it. The movie follows Elvis’ life as a commodity exploited by Col Parker. It showed the mental manipulation that not only controlled and monetarily exploited Elvis but drove him to an early grave.

Baz Luhrman never disappoints with unique insights. Elvis, commercially successful even into the twenty-first century sacrificed his life to enable the lifestyles of those close to him. The costumes, music and acting were all superb.

All of my paternal ancestors were from Sicily. My great grandfathers came to America in the late 1890s through the port of New Orleans and settled in and around the Morgan City area, except my grand parents who made Lake Charles their home.

I learned so much I never knew from this series. I didn’t know how the Italians were discriminated against during WWII which ended when I was about 5 years old. Now I understand why my grandmother wouldn’t teach me or even her own children how to speak their language, which I believe was Sicilian judging by the few words I managed to pick up.

I’m going to buy the DVD so I can share it with my family both present and future generations. Thank you to everyone who made this series possible.

This is neck and neck with Halloween Resurrection and RZ’s Halloween 2 for most unwatchable Halloween movie. Inexplicably bad is this film. The 4K version looks and sounds amazing, far better than this film deserves.

Wow, I wasn’t sure if it was worth picking up these new 4k Halloween flicks, but if your a fan this is definitely the way to go. Looks great and the extras for 5 are on 5, you don’t have to put in a bonus disc to get the extras.

If you don’t have it’s a no brained and if your a big Halloween fan this is the best it’s ever looked. Even the blu ray looks sharper.

Out of the 5 scream factory Halloween 4Ks this one is best looking. Almost digital looking plus with new opening sequence on the blu ray. It’s a win.

Great feel good, sometimes hysterical, heartwarming comedy! Meryl Streep is utterly wonderful, as are Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. Great story, very entertaining, perfect music. When I watch this I end up watching it twice in a row, it’s just a soft, feel good movie! The location in the film is lovely, making you wish you could be there and just kick back and enjoy the serenity of the place.

I highly recommend this film!.

An aged, divorced mother becomes “the other woman” in her ex-husband’s life when the pair enters into an unexpected affair during an out-of-town trip. Jane has been divorced from Jake for a decade. The mother of three grown children, she owns a successful Santa Barbara bakery/restaurant and maintains a friendly relationship with Jake, who has since been remarried to the much younger Agness.

Jane and Jake are attending their son’s college graduation when they agree to an innocent meal together. Before long a simple dinner date has erupted into an all-out affair. I thouroughly enjoyed this movie.

Meryl Streep is fantastic as usual. Alec Baldwin was right on the money for being a scoundrel. Surprised at Steve Martin’s part. He did so well not being funny. Spend a couple hours laughing your heart out.

Terrific movie that’s highly recommended.

Divorced middle-aged woman, content with her life, is confused by romantic approaches by both her ex-husband and a new suitor. Comedy; family life; good characters; lovely house and garden (wish they were mine!).

Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin are excellent as always, and were enough to make me buy the DVD, in spite of the grating presence of Steve Martin, whom I don’t like as an actor in anything.

I was expecting something near the quality of Murder on the Orient Express. I was quite disappointed. Agatha Christie mysteries are typically family oriented. This one was quite disappointing. There were two scenes with extremely sensual dancing moves.

This was supposed to be Agatha Christie! The scenery was pretty, but the older version is a better movie.

A fine rendition of a great story. Kenneth Branagh brilliantly directs and acts in the company of the superb Annette Bening, who, along with her equally convincing supporting cast members, weaves a suspenseful, engaging presentation of this classic mystery.

Beautiful photography is seen in 4K and only enhances the quality of the film.

Bought this for my wife. This was our first 4K title on our new Sony Oled. and it didnt dissapoint. The picture and colors were beautiful! As far as a remake of the old classic it was actually quite entertaining.

Recommended!.
