If you can find it, watch it!

This has to be the funniest, coolest foreign movie ever, especially classic is the car/robbery scene, awesome. I first saw this movie as a kid when it first came out, and I laughed for years when I thought of it, then I recently saw it on the late movies on tv a years or two ago, luckily I got to tape it!
