Top 40 Car Movies
 

I would switch number 1 and 2 around.

No way should AG be listed before 2LBT.. ;)

Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry is a really under-rated film, imho.

Why are Le Mans and Ronin so low, those are awesome car movies :shock:

these are the ones I have...which I remember:

American Graffiti
The Gumball Rally
Grand Theft Auto
Days of thunder
Bullitt
Ronin
The Italian Job -org
The french connection
Vanishing Point
Convoy
Smokey and the bandit series (3rd one SUCK!)
The getaway
Le mans
gone in 60 seconds - org
gone in 60 seconds - new one
cannonball run series
death race 2000 - LOL
the driver
gran prix
randevouz - which I now know i a fake

It is a disgrace to have F&F along with these old classics......

Couldn't agree more! :x

I liked The Gumball Rally. I watched it as a child and thought it was cool.

Dear Hot Rod,

Why the FUCK is Grand Prix not in the top 5?!

Also, Ronin, French Connection, and LeMans should be in the top 10! :P

Glad to see Blue Brothers up there, and I need to check out some of these movies I haven't seen...

Yeah, the final chase scene in the Blues Brothers was hilarious. I especially liked the Nazi guy falling off the bridge. That was golden. :lol:

And the Bad Boys final scene with the 911 - 964 turbo S and the cobra???

Just for that, it HAD to be on the list! :D

^I disagree. It was over too soon and it was just a drag race, primarily. It's good, but not one of the best.

^Agreed. That Shelby Cobra was mighty fine. :)

Ronin is the best movie for me, none of the movies can match that :D True I have seen only maybe 3-4 films from the list :)

Your right! That part in Taxi 1 driving that guy to the airport and overtaking that Ducati is 8)

And indeed, that american version was :x

Yeh the italian job was brilliant too bad the remake was abosolutely shit. Surprised to see FnF up there it's absolutely ridiculous. I think Bulitt should be higher up though maybe 1st or second

Hi folks

Once more I agree with Dani, Arman and other petrolheads about this topic; of course Im not able to understand either why the real racing films such as Grand Prix or Le Mans arent on the list, even above the fifth position, and as Dani said, I consider that even Days of Thunder or the Italian Job should be on the list among the 5 bests films; Ill never be able to understand the list

I remember 2 serious pursuit:
in "Live and Die in L.A." with William "Grisom" Petersen.

and
in "Hidden". The beginning of the movie. a black Ferrari 308 GTS. :P

Black Moon Rising is a little Car movie (producer John Carpenter, with Tommy Lee Jones, Linda Hamilton and Robert Vaughn)

Still with Carpenter there is "Christine".
