Default 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... sorry

John

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.

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,
