It's interesting that no. 3 was replicated in Denmark in april producing the biggest robbery in our countrys history. Some swedes have been arrested but the 62 million dkr were never found.

In case you are unfamiliar with Eddie Mush, he was the character in the movie "A Bronx Tale" who was a total jinx. He had a perfect track record of losing every bet he ever placed as well as jinxing everyone around him.

If you don't know what an SA-7 is you can check it out here:

Don't know about real life, but Spike Lee's film "Inside Man" was basically a plot lift of "Quick Change", with some feel good social programming thrown in. I always thought "Quick Change", "Scrooged", and "Groundhog Day" were an awesome Bill Murray triple shot. If you want to top it off with a recent tearjerker you could go with "Broken Flowers", but most people would choose "Lost in Translation" for a more elevated ending.

Bill Murray is teh awesome. I lost my "The Man Who Knew Too Little" DVD. :( But I asked Santa for a new one. I must have "Quick Change" too. "Inside Man" was pretty awesome.
