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.

- 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

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.

The Transporter

 

The French Connection 

 

Golden Eye for the tank chase :D  plus I think that's the one where he's racing around with that Ferrari too. 

 

Tomorrow Never Dies for the parking garage scene

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
