What are your favorite car movies?

"The Lively Set", has always been one of my favorites, I even own a copy of it. For me, not only the story and the street rods, but use of the Chrysler turbine car.
But did you know, "The Lively set" is a re-make of "Johnny Dark"? A 1954 Tony Curtis film with basically the same story line, I own a copy of that as well.
Even "The Fast and the Furious", was a re-make of a 50's film of the same name.

 

If you like old racing movies, look for "The Blonde Comet".

Worlds Fastest Indian
American Graffiti
3 (not even a Earnhart fan either)
Days of Thunder
Six Pack
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry
Heart Like a Wheel

I could go on forever.

 

American Graffiti
Hard Driver
Hot Rod ("Black and Decker aquarium pump"...priceless!)
Catch Me if You Can
The Racing Game (great do***entary about James Garner racing in 1970)
Behind the Wheel(?) (another doc with Paul Newman)
Heart Like a Wheel (story of Shirley Muldowney)
Wheels of Fire (drag racing doc from the 70s)

Wow...where the **** is "Lost Drive-In" ?!?!?

 

Any one know what car Fay Dunaway was driving in Chinatown???
I'd vote for Thunder Road !

 

The Blues Brothers,
American Graffiti,
Mad Max I & II,
(Three ****ed)
Bullit,
Aww hell there are dozens.

If you want a cl***ic Aussie bike movie try 'Stone'.
Doc.

 

Streets of Fire, Christine, American Graffiti, Thunder Road, Heart Like a wheel, the car chase seen in To Live And Die In L.A., The Worlds Fastest Indian, Death Race 2000, and my cheezball pick, Corvette Summer!

 

you have great taste - best motorcycle movie ever

 

The original Vanishing Point from 1971. The Bullet car chase scene, I watch it over and over, it's always good to see bad guys in suits! You can't leave out Elvis in Speed way, Spin Out and Viva Las vegas. When I was Kid I loved Fireball 500. Don't forget the bike movies, Easy Rider and Girl on a Motorcycle.

 

Hands down, it's "Bullitt," followed by "Duel," "Tucker," "Thunder Road" and "American Grafitti." But I have seen some doggy movies that would have flopped without a ton of cool cars to save the ****py scripts and direction!!! LOL -- Jimi'sHemi291
