What do you consider the best car movie of all time?

I have to go with Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) . That modified 1967 Shelby GT500 is the absolute most beautiful car ever to hit the road. Pretty good chase too, but the movie had a plot , not just cars running from Cops. Gotta go with "Eleanor".

I agree with Gone in 60 Seconds, the 67 GT500 was my all time favorite car before, that movie, and that movie just made it so much better. The Fast and The Furious was by far the best street racing film, 2 Fast 2 Furious, was really good to, but with out Vin Diesel the movie was not what it could have been. The cars where nice though, I like how they use musle in the second one. Gone in 60 Seconds gets my vote though.

While RONIN is not specifically about cars per se, it does contain two of the greatest car chase sequences ever put on film in my opinion...

Other films which champion the car I like are the original GONE IN 60 SECONDS (great '70s score), VANISHING POINT, BULLITT, THE FRENCH CONNECTION, DUEL, AGAINST ALL ODDS (terrific chase between James Woods and Jeff Bridges), FEAR IS THE KEY, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME (car/motorcycle, car/car, car/helicopter, car/underwater submersibles in one long great sequence)...

John.

The problem is...that most of these movies aren't about cars. It has a plot that doesn't rely on the car at all, just great car chases. Nobody enjoyed Herby as a child? That's a movie about a car.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

lol

That looks like the best car movie of all time.

Hmmm.....

Back to the Future?

It had a very famous car in it. Part of it was about fixing the car. It was a flying car... that went into the past and into the future... how can any other car beat that?!

Yeah! The car as benign rather than agressive! And who could forget CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG!

John.

I remember that one... cute movie but I never saw the whole thing...

American Graffiti - Nostalgic period piece directed by George Lucas.

Cannonball run - More about a car race, but this is a classic for me.

Christine - Ohhhhhhh, she is Nasty!!!

_S

"Days of Thunder" was a great car movie. "I Know Cole, Cole always passes on the outside"

I would have to say days of thunder and the Fast and furious

I say Fast & The Furious and Gone in 60 Seconds

I enjoyed Gone in 60 Seconds. If you say that Back to the Future was a car movie, I say that too.
