Movies that feel likeMillions (2005)

Two boys, still grieving the death of their mother, find themselves the unwitting benefactors of a bag of bank robbery loot in the week before the United Kingdom switches its official currency to the Euro. What's a kid to do?

If you loved Millions, the closest films we have are T2 Trainspotting (2017), Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) and Son of Rambow (2007). All three share Millions' witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Elling (2001).
