Movies about racing:
- Le Mans - fabulous sounds from a Porsche 917, Ferrari
- Grand Prix - amazing opening screen with multiple camera shots of a spinning tach and revving engines
Movies with good car chase scenes
- Ronin
- The French Connection
Others:
- Rendezvous (Ferrari through streets of Paris during dawn) - spawned the Getaway in Stockholm series

Nope..Get halickis Deadline auto theft on dvd.
The 30 minutes of stunts they shot for gone in 60 seconds 2 is on there as a seperate feature. He died during the filming so its incomplete. Its good because deadline auto theft is just gone in 60 seconds redone, streteched, with somethings from junkman put in.
Gone in 60 seconds 2 has a car called the slicer which is shaped like a wedge and goes under cars. Kinda hokey, but damn cool to watch the destruction it causes.

LOL - Two Lane Blacktop is the Easy Rider of car movies... 
You need to watch it in the frame of mind that it is 1971 and you are doing the cross country trip in the '55.
I have watched Two Lane Blacktop a ridiculous number of times.. LOL  - I often have it playing in the background when I do projects around the house...

Does that mean you have to get high to enjoy it.. 
It is hard to relate when you were born in 1981...
