Best Car Flick

[evoWalo]

This should be in the Public Poll section but seeming there are many movies around I didnt put options. So what's the best car flick you've watched?

[No.1]

Ronin is pretty cool, and the movie is coming out on DVD (for the first time) so it's even better. Great shots of S8's, Beemers and French cars blasting around France. 8)

Ermmmm..... definitely not Fast & Furious (or 2Fast 2Furious, for that matter). I only watch gone in 60 seconds for the cars, like the Shelby Cobra :P

Taxi (the first one, not the shitty american re-make, or 2 & 3) was good too, but it seems that car-flicks are getting worse now. Too much interest in the jazzed-up cars, and less on cars that you buy off the shelf :|

Ronin 100%
24 hrs of Le Mans
Taxi 1
Bullit (the old one)
Italian job (the old one)
basicaly any car flick made before let's say 1990 or 95 ...

[Vansquish]

The French Connection, Bullitt, Ronin, LeMans, The Great Escape, The Italian Job (the original one), and Gone in 60 Seconds, but only because it's kind of fun. The others are all seriously good and have excellent driving/chase scenes.

[DUNKiNUTS]

well not to be a ricer, but the first F&F wasn't too bad, yet bad none the less. I like Bullitt, Gone in 60 Secods, Cannonball Run, Two Lane Black Top, Smokey and the Bandit, and lastly Vanishing Point

[ZfrkS62]

Bullit, Gone in 60Seconds (original), Two lane BLack Top, American Graffitti, The Run(sorry, i couldn't resist :D ) CannonBall Run, Corvette Summer (ugly Vette, but the concept was cool..plus Mark Hammil was the main character)

[crayzayjay]

Ronin by a country mile. And it IS on DVD, has been for a long time ;)

[findleybeast]

I thougth the chase scene in Bourne Identity was awesome. (Supremacy's chase was pretty good too). The mini was awesome... talk about a car you wouldn't think of using in a fast chase.

I'm sure i've answered this a few times on JW but i've got to get it in.... The Italian Job no argueing :P there is not a cooler film on the planet......... and i'm not biased ( much :P ) :D 8)


**EDIT**...... just in case anyone is wondering i don't mean the recent one :wink:

[aawil]

All great one's.

[tigerx]

lemans

gone in 60 seconds

[possessed_beaver]

..fast and the furious... :lol:

[fultron]

fast ant the furious is only good for comedic porposes, so many things wrong with that movie, and the second one was pointless. Ronin was awsome and the origional gone in sixty seconds was just hot. The new one is not to bad either.

[Fleischmann]

Out of the ones I've watched - "Gone in 60 seconds" :D

[RC45]

Two Lane Black Top

[No.1]

i have ronin on dvd and i got it two years ago...

:oops: ... well, i read that it was out on DVD for the first time in the UK in Top Gear Magazine.... i guess this is UK only or something :?

[Sachmo12345]

[sndr]

Of course the italian job an gone in 60 sec are great movies but does anyone seen
The transporter? That movie is very cool and has got a lot chasing scenes

[No.1]

I agree... if anybody has a DivX of it please upload it :D

Failing tha, i am sure i will buy it in the coming months, so i will Rip it then get it in the club :wink:

My vote goes for Bullit as the best chase ive ever seen; in addition, Le Mans and Grand Prix are excellent films to see as the whole film, ive got very good memories of the Italian Job as well (naturally in the old minis), and finally, i see excellent most of the James Bonds films chases also

[irrational_i]

The Gumball Rallye (1974) with the Ferrari 365 Daytona and the Shelby Cobra... This is my alltime favourite. Ronin and A Job in Italy (the original) are also great... about motorsports, Grand Prix and Le Mans are the best ones!

I completely agree here.
And unlike Bullitt where the Mustang sounds were dubbed (GT40), the Gumball Rally is real.

But I really, really want to see a movie called "The Green Helmet". It was shown on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) long ago and I missed it. 8(.
IT is very hard to find and apparently has very good footage. And like Le Mans and Grand Prix also uses the actual racing drivers of the time.
