Aaronw Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited June 6, 2009 by Aaronw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553964spd Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Let us not forget Two Lane Blacktop With James Taylor(driver) and Dennis Wilson(mechanic) and Warren Oates(gto driver).A cross crountry race with only has the baddest 55 chevy on the planet for its time.This will be one of my future builds and I will do everthing possible to exactly replicate the 55.

Art Anderson Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 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. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCostello Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 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.

Aaronw Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Kern Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 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'!!!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Roman Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
