Car Movies

playhard67 · 07-24-2008, 07:40 PM

Sierra and boxmonkeyracing mentioned on another thread that the movie "Better Off Dead" sparked an interest in Camaro's for them. I haven't seen that movie, but plan to get it and watch it.

But, I do love car movies and have a bunch of car movie DVD's. One of my favorite car movies is "Dirty Mary Crazy Larry" featuring a '69 Charger. After might be "Two Lane Blacktop" featuring a '55 Chevy and a GTO.

What are your favorite car movies?

One my all time favorites is "American Grafitti", a duece coupe is my second favorite car.

"Eat My Dust" is another favorite featuring a '68 Camaro race car.

Even though the movie was cheesy, I have always liked "The Wraith".

I dont know if its a car movie but, Italian Job is a great one (The new one, not the old one. The old one was wayyyyyyyyyy too slow for me).

playhard67 · 07-25-2008, 07:41 AM

Anyone seen Vanishing Point (the original 1971)?

BitchinCamaro · 07-25-2008, 09:11 AM

Risky Business. Most people get distracted by the prostitutes, but there is a good (and funny) chase scene with the Porsche and a Caddy.
"Great, I have a Trig mid-term tomorrow and I am being chased by Guido the Killer Pimp."

Canon Ball Run is a great funny car movie. Bullit, Fast and Furious. Its know as a car movie but How about the chase scene in Ronan? Awesome scene.

Oh and for the old school Caddy fans. How about Licence to Drive? Sweet Cadilac in that movie, if you get past Corey Haim, you will enjoy looking at Heather Graham.

I also found this link.
