eaglescout526 Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Christine. Gone in 60 seconds. Me I prefer the Nick cage only because I’ve watch the original and it’s just a really long chase.
Pete M Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Bullitt or at least just the chase scene. Mad Max: Fury Road
FrankTheDog Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Mad Max: The Road Warrior. Vanishing Point. Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. Ford VS Ferrari. Death Proof. Two Lane Black Top.
89 MJ Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 I was gonna say Two Lane Blacktop, Ford Vs Ferrari, and Bullitt. American Graffiti
75sv1 Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Rush - best racing movie ever. There I said it. Before Gone in 60 Seconds or shall we say prequel there was the 'Junkman'. It has a Bricklin in it. So, Best ever. You have to have some kind of rating system.
89 MJ Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Days of Thunder Talladega Nights Those are funny NASCAR movies. Used Cars is a good one too.
Dzimm Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 - Gone in 60 seconds is a really good one (I've only seen the Nick Cage remake so can't comment on the original) - Dukes of Hazzard (this is somewhat cheating as the TV series is where it's really good, there were a few movies made and they were okay) - The Fast And The Furious (the 2001 original ONLY and maybe Tokyo drift but this is only if you like imports and street racing of the late 90s/early 00s. Don't even bother with the later ones) - The Italian Job (again only seen the remake) - Cars (yes the Disney movie) - Baby Driver is decent as well

jdog Posted July 8, 2021 Author Posted July 8, 2021 Thank you all, I'll start the list shortly, keep em coming
derf Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 How can any list be complete without the Wagon Queen Family Truckster? Gotta add National Lampoon's Vacation to the list.
75sv1 Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 Two I don't see mentioned are 'Grand Prix' with James Garner, and LeMans with Steve McQueen. My view is both are classics. Grand Prix was quite prophetic and well done for the time. LeMans while some pick as the best, has 5 or so great scenes with McQueen. Rest of the film looks like a documentary. One scene no words are said, but it is powerful.
Pete M Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 The Transporter The French Connection Golden Eye for the tank chase plus I think that's the one where he's racing around with that Ferrari too. Tomorrow Never Dies for the parking garage scene
dasbulliwagen Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 The Cannonball Run movies.... The scenes with the Countach is what dreams are made of. Not really a car movie, but there is a VW bus that is a major character in this movie... Little Miss Sunshine The Original Herbie movies. I havent seen it yet, but I want to.... Ford vs Farrari
87MJTIM Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 Not a “car” movie, but a movie with cars…and very funny. It’s a mad mad mad mad world

Ωhm Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 Could have been a "must see". John Wick claims to be driving a 1969 Mustang Boss_429, but in reality its a Mustang Mach_I dressed up poorly to look like the Boss.

75sv1 Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 I'd almost put Transformers on the list. Also, I would rate Ford vs Ferrari as 2nd to 4th best Race movie. I haven't seen Days of Thunder in a while. Well, since it came out.
Empty_Pockets Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Back to the future the most recognizable movie car ever. Dazed and confused has alot of cool cars.
