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.

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

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!

-Loyal reader


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.

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!

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

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