What's your favorite "car guy" movie?

[Featherburner]

After reading Popo's thread about the F&F I started to wonder what was everyone's favorite car guy movie? Maybe list your top three. I think it will be interesting to see the list.

[shownomercy]

Vanishing point was..interesting, American Graffiti was ok..

Does Blues brothers count?
:D

[Fastbird]

The Nick Cage "Gone in 60 Seconds" is up there. Ronin had some pretty bad car chase scenes. And I happen to be a fan of the F&F series.......purely entertainment.

Vanishing point was..interesting, American Graffiti was ok..

Yes The Blues Brothers counts for sure in my book and agree on the other 2. I saw Vanishing point years ago and I am still convinced that the ONLY color for a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T is white.
Some cars only look good in one color in my opinion.

[CamaroZGuy]

American Graffiti would have to be #1 on my list.

[Badbird_96]

There are so many but

1. Two Lane Blacktop - love the 55 and the judge made me want one.

2. American Graffiti - I want that 58 imp so bad and the 55 in this was the same 55 in two lane blacktop just painted.

3. Worlds Fastest Indian - yes its a motorcycle movie but its a great and true story about an amazing piece of machinery and the man that built it.

4. Vanishing Point - there was a local guy that had a 70 challenger R/T hemi in white. When the new ones came out his son got a new R/T in white. They took them to shows together.

5. Original Gone In 60 Seconds - awesome chase scenes. My sister had a red 73 Mach 1.

I could go on but will stop at 5

Transformers....

I was expecting a few different responses...we'll see if they show up!

Really???? I saw it once... never really liked it.....

but I didnt know about the crash at the end?

[meissen]

I just saw Smokey and the Bandit for the first time a few years ago. It was pretty cheesy but good. I guess Gone in 60 Seconds too. I honestly can't think of any other car movies.

[Mystery Bird]

Smokey and the Bandit, seen it like 50 times.

Like

Bullitt

Or

The French connection

Or

Cannonball run

Or

Gumball rally?

[Mystery Bird]

Oh, I forgot about Gumball Rally. The sound of the AC Cobra pulling out the gas station is pure awesome.

[Badbird_96]

Also cannonball with the red trans am

And

Days of thunder.

I'm a huge car movie follower lol

[Badbird_96]

Oh, I forgot about Gumball Rally. The sound of the AC Cobra pulling out the gas station is pure awesome.

I absolutely love the beginning where he is revving it in the garage while under the hood

[Mystery Bird]

Hot Rod is a good ole classic with that 41 Willys gasser.

[Madman337]

Yeah I noticed the Camaro at the end of the movie, how about Dirty Mary and crazy Larry?
Anybody see that one?

These are a few of the ones I was expecting. I'm suprised it took this long to hit them.

[95slowmaro]

TWO LANE BLACKTOP.. NUFF SAID.. lol

[blackbirdws6]

The Cannonball Run - loved all the actors and diff cars. Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo - childhood favorite. Original Fast & Furious - I was 17 when it came out and it was simply pure entertainment, flaws and all. None of these are great movies but they served their purpose.

[Featherburner]

TWO LANE BLACKTOP.. NUFF SAID.. lol"Make it three yards, mother#ucker, and we'll have us an automobile race."

Forgot about that one as well. Isn't that the one where they crash the yellow charger?

[Featherburner]

I'm suprised no one has mentioned The Hollywood Knights, or Dazed and Confused yet!

[Badbird_96]

I thought about dazed and confused but wasn't sure it would fit. Sweet emotion playing with the judge cruising the parking lot very nice lol

Forgot about Hollywood knights

Yeah the train gets them in the end.

Hot Rod is a good ole classic with that 41 Willys gasser.I've wanted a 41 Willys since I saw this movie when it came out! http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u3/jdhawk93/250-HOT-ROD_zps81d491c4.jpg

Has any one ever seen The Last American Hero? How about Return to Macon County? The chase scene in The Seven Ups is pretty good! Bill Hickman (the driver of the Charger in Bullit) drives the 73 Grand Ville and Roy Scheider and Jerry Summers drove the Ventura.
