Transformers/Other car movies
So the other day my friend and I were discussing movies and somehow Transformers came up. I mentioned that I've never seen it, and she knowing the car buff I am, was shocked that I've never seen it, having a Camaro made my case worse. Anyway, today we watched the movie, and I can honestly say it was a great movie. It made me proud to own a Camaro. Plus Tyrese was in it! Love him from Fast & Furious series. So, what are some of y'alls favorite car movies?

My now wife and I went to see gone in 60 secs at the theater in 2000 when it came out. It was our first actual date. I had about a 2 month old silverado. Entire movie I was freaking out that it was going to get stolen. Anytime it comes on I have to watch it

I really like Gone in Sixty Seconds, Fast and the Furious series, and the Blue's Brothers... those car chases ... so funny!

I never really considered 'Transformers' as a car movie. Unfortunately, most of my favorite car movies are older. Modern car movies have too much CG, pointless explosions, stupid drama, etc....
My favorite car movie is probably 'Two-Lane Blacktop' and the original 'Gone in 60 Seconds' (the one made in 1974) would be a close second place for me. Other notable movies are 'Vanishing Point' and 'Fast and the Furious'.

It's not really a car movie, but Jack Reacher has a pretty sweet 70 Chevelle chase scene.

IMO, a chase scene does not immediately make the film a "car movie". I feel that when the cars become focused participants / actors in the action...on purpose...maybe even with minor descriptions of there existence, a car movie is then made.
Examples of non-car movies: Ronin: Awesome chase scene, but definitely not a car movie. Bourne: Awesome chase scene(s), but definitely not a car movie. Bullitt : Awesome chase scene, but definitely not a car movie...Sorry, but just a chase scene...the rest is a cop / murder movie. McQ: John Wayne has a freakin awesome '73 Brewster Green T/A, but just a cop movie. Car Movies: F&F series: They talk about the cars and are tied in directly to the actors and personas Smokey & the Bandit: "Need a fast car...faster than that...faster." And he came up with a T/A...I hated the choices in the late 70's. Christine: Totally about the car...and who wouldn't wish for self-healing bodywork at the cost of your immortal soul. Gone in 60 (Sixty): Both are great and about the cars with the latest treating the cars with respect and love. The Wrath + The Car: Whether alien or demon, both were car centric and actual characters in the film. Cars: It's about cars...animated, but really kinda cool. Cars 2...even gives "lemons" a chance at stardom. /end diatribe on car film definitions

Well pretty much all of mine were mentioned already, and my car is a pretty good indication that I was a fan of the TF movies

Not a car movie, but the chase scene in The French Connection ranks up there...IMO
