Your favorite car movie.

Things are tuff all over.

Cheech and Chong drive that Cadillac to Vegas and sell parts of it to pay for food and gas and pick up the FE FE's!

I liked Vanishing point mostly because I had a 70 Challanger RT with a 383 magnum when it came out ( My first New Car).. all the rest of the movies that were nentioned were great as well.. It would be hard to pick a favourite...

Vanishing point for me. Lets not forget Mad Max though.

Bad moms that chick drove that mopar the way it should be driven.

Not my #1 favorite however high up there as top 3 most impacting ... and watched because I have a young family ... "Cars" really woke us up on the reality of the super-highway versus the days of just going for a simple cruise down the hamlet-roads ... not to mention that today's Corvettes emulate the bugs-n-teeth and all ... all singing "Life is a Highway..."?

 

[MikeysZ06]

In no particular order....

Dirty Mary,Crazy Larry,
Ride with the Devil,
Bullit,
Ronin,
Vanishing Point,
Gone in 60 seconds ( original release )
LeMans,
Grand Prix ( minus the love story )
Death Race 2000 ( Original release )

And my least favorite car flick..... The worst thing to come out of Hollywood..... Sylvester Stallone's butchering of the CART racing series with.... Driven.

Death Race 2000. Came out in 1975. American Graffiti is still my favorite

And of course Fast Company, which was filmed at the old Edmonton International Raceway. Does anyone remember this old classic? I just bought a copy from Amazon.

Death Race 2000. Came out in 1975

I'm aware of that. The younger members might be confused thinking of the Jason Statham version.

 

[vintageracer]

The original "Italian Job" would be one of my favourites.

 

[MikeysZ06]

Charles Bronson's " The Mechanic " had a short but good little car chase in Italy. That's a movie high on my list.

 

[Karam]

Rush

Gone in 60 seconds

Need for speed

The Jetsons Movie... cause I really want a flying car that turns into a briefcase!

 

[Black 03 Z06]

I thought I saw a briefcase hanging on your garage wall Franci.

Must have been mistaken.

What a gem! Wherever did you find it? Must google to see if there's a copy out there, anywhere. It must be amazing if the Hoff is in it!

Lots of good ones there, and I do like most of them. I guess for me the top ones would be:
Gone in 60 Seconds
Smokey and the Bandit
Original Fast and Furious.

And I can't believe nobody mentioned.............The Wraith........I hated the movie personally, but a lot of my friends liked it back in '86

I forgot about the Italian Job. That was a pretty good movie, and watching those little Mini's run through tight spaces at high speeds was awesome.
