You listed many car chase movies so I assume they are being counted as car movies.

American Graffiti

Convoy

Duel

The Blues Brothers

The Road Warrior (not sure if you were including this with Mad Max)

The 7 ups

The French Connection (very slow paced but has a wild car chase near the end, so a bit like Bullitt)

Hooper

Cannonball run

White Lightning

Ronin

Geez!

From the Keystone Kops silent flicks to the present day, hundreds of movies were made starring cars. Some that come to mind from days farther back than mentioned above:

Topper

Front Page (cops and robbers flick--the bank robbers drove an Auburn sedan, the city cops had a Cord 810, and the FBI--believe it or not!--drove a Duesenberg Model J Berline!)

The Yellow Rolls Royce

Goldfinger (Who can forget Auric Goldfinger's Rolls Royce Phantom II Sedanca, Mr. Solo's '65 Lincoln Continental, Odd Job's 65 Ranchero -- can a Falcon Ranchero REALLY haul a crushed and cubed 4dr unibody Lincoln? -- and of course, 007's Aston Martin DB5GT with all those cool toys?

Cars figured strongly in movies such as The Untouchables (both in the B&W 1960 flick, and the 1980's remake), the various Batman movies, Corvette Summer, Hot Rods to Hell, to name a few.

And on TV, remember "My Mother The Car", 77 Sunset Strip, Dragnet, Mannix, and many more.

Oh yeah,I forgot a couple,how 'bout:

Duel-Dennis Weaver in his red,4 door Plymouth Valient,being chased by the semi.

And the follow-up to American Graffiti,I think it was actually called More American Graffiti.It had more cars than the original,I think.

Goldfinger was mentioned but really any James Bond movie can count on some good car action.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (oddly also written by Ian Flemming who wrote the James Bond novels, it also has a young Benny Hill in it).

Damnation Alley (terrible movie but it has the awesome Landmaster in it)

You have to include 'The Hollywood Knights' in the list. Lots of laughs with a bunch of cool cars including Newbomb Turk's '56 Chevy Panel 'Pie wagon', the Project 'X' '57 Chevy, a Cobra, '65 GTO and El Camino, and more. Voooooolare'!!!! ;) ;) :lol:

Bikini Beach - 1964

There's a few nice scenes with two of TV Tommy Ivo dragsters (one of them the 4 engine-4 wheel drive monster) making a pass, Dean Jeffries Manta Ray, the Greer-Black-Prudhome dragster and other 60's rods. You can see Tommy Ivo driving a bucket T in one of the race scenes. And as a plus you can see very young Stevie Wonder singing on what I believe could be his debut. I got mine on DVD from Amazon.com
