Best Car Movie?
 

Not the best cars in movies...but the best movies with cars in them where the cars are focal points.

Some of my favs:
Two-Lane Blacktop
Hot Rod Summer or was it called Corvette Summer?
Thunder ???? (Munn's Root beer, had a Willys, forgot the name)
Gone in 60 Seconds (Both)
American Graffiti

Wow...that's a good one.

For me the two or three I think of most are: Bullit, Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) and Christine...

Really tough to pick only one...:lol: sorry

John

Le mans

Check out Hollywood Nights cool old car flick, a young Fran Drescher and Michelle Pfieffer HOT! Robert Wuhl very funny and Tony danza. They were all probably in there early 20s when they filmed it.

Rich

Not necessarily a "car" movie but there are some badd rides in Dazed and Confused!

For chase scenes.....Ronin is one of the best I have ever watched....

Jack Reacher. I haven't seen it but Tom Cruise is wheeling a 70 Chevelle in it.

The one with the Willys is called Hot Rod,

Corvette Summer had Mark Hamill, from Star Wars fame,

The Seven-Ups...

Great flick
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Worlds Fastest Indian Is great and it has cars in it too. It's a mad mad mad mad world (they're driving LOL)

I guess Im the only one who likes Fast n Furious #1:lol:

My votes are for:

Hot Rod
Gone in 60 Seconds (original and remake)
Cannonball and Gumball
The 'Mad Max' movies

Hot Rod (Black and Decker aquarium pump)

Hollywood Knights

SO you live your life a 1/4 mile at a time :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

No, I liked #1 too. Compared to the others movies listed here though, not so much.

We watched Bullit the other night.... First time in like 20+ years.... With the exception of the cars it was a horrible movie....

Same with Two lane blacktop..... Great car stuff but overall a horrible movie that really made no sense

Corvette summer was great.... Passion about the car he built

Duel, with Dennis Weaver Dart vs Gas Tanker (reminds me of all the crappy gutless cars I used to have as a kid) Early movie by Spielberg

Did anyone mention "The Car" B grade horror flick. Great movie to cuddle up with your scared wife/gf, and not enough plot that you'll miss anything if you are paying attention to her instead of the movie :unibrow:

Duel, lol classic.

The scene in "Gumball Rally" with the Ferrari and the Cobra in the flood channels in la, epic.

For us two wheel guys, "On Any Sunday"

Ronin. Also the new James Bond, sick bike scene in the beginning.

Yep, smokey and the bandit. "Daddy, the tops missing" ...lol

Italian Job

Can't forget the Blues Brothers...

Deuce of Spades is an AWESOME flick for an old school hot rod movie. :thumbsup:

Anyone remember another B or TV only thriller/horror movie that had a Dodge Coronate or Super Bee that was blacked out and had tinted windows? From what I can remember of the premise, the person driving the car was trying to run people off the road etc and that's about it, lol. No identity on who the driver was or is.

As a side note, I see Tom Cruise's new movie involved destroying a bunch of '70 chevelles. I'm sure they weren't LS6s or pedigree cars but come on guys. Thanks hollywood! I'm boycotting it just for that. Well that, and its Tom cruise.

Hasn't been mentioned: Eric Bana's - Love the Beast.

Vanishing Point if you're a Mopar guy, Bullitt if you're a Ford guy, and I guess Smokey and the Bandit if you ride with the General. But on the top, the original Gone in 60 seconds. That crazy 40 min no-stunt-car-driver car chase scene is just epic. It's a stock '73 Mach 1 taking everything that's throw at it, and still keeps running. The amount of punishment that car absorbs is just unbelievable. In a poetic kinda way it can be seen as the last stand of the Musclecar. One thing is for sure, they don't make 'em as they used to.

Got Porsche ?
 

for the 356 kids...

King of the Mountain with Dennis Hopper.

Doc Hollywood with Michael J Fox. Look for the lake scene with Julie Warner dripping wet... couldn't beleive that was in the movie.

Top Gun !

I agree with that but the end was a bit of a bummer..

new Gone in 60 because that car was so sexy and so was Angelina

Ferris Bueller's Day off for Ferrari ecstasy even though it was only a really good kit.

Dust to Glory was bad ass because that one dude rides it solo - while hallucinating and repeating himself, repeating himself

I have never seen all of Bullitt but that car chase is amazing

LOVE King of the Mountain! Wide tires and flared fenders before it was COOL!
