That other thread about suggesting war movies made me think to start this one....

I've always been a sucker for classic car race/chase/crash etc movies, such as Mad Max, Vanishing Point, Bullitt, old Dukes of Hazzard, Smokey and the Bandit.

I'm looking for more movies like these. If you have any good ones not mentioned already here, mention it!

The Love Bug (1968) for sure. I watched it 20 years ago and still remember it vividly!

gonna throw my childhood favorites~

The Wraith

The Cannonball Run 1&2

amazing movies, i remember back in the days painting all my sporty toy cars black after watching the The Wraith..
The Cannonball Runs are not the same type of 80's "serious" action movies, rather adventure comedies of some sort :/
plop.

O man, going to go a little off topic here, but when I was little, I watched some car movie involving some kid unearthing?/finds?/not sure how he got it old car and precedes to race it around town and beat some long standing record.

I can't for the life of me remember the title and google can't make sense of my shitty description.

Anyone have a guess what it could be?
It's like having a song stuck in your head and not knowing the title, except it's been 10+ years.

Hotrod (1979) has both the guy that voiced the TF2 engineer, as well as the guy that voiced Dr. Breen. The whole thing is on youtube, too.

There is a 70s or 80s movie about these gangs of kids who have races and shit. It was pretty cool, I remember something or someone was an alien possibly. edit- this is the youtube clip posted above lol

Also, Grindhouse Death Proof has one of the greatest car chases in film imho.

Shitty bad boys 2, I remember had some crazy car chase too.


Ofc The Matrix 2 as well. The Freeway scene


These aren't classics (yet anyways)

I watched an AVGN video about car chases in movies. It's what turned me onto bulitt




deathrace 2000 (which was the basis for the recent stahtom movie which sucked imo)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072856/

And if movies don't cut it, go play some twisted metal. Almost all of the games are good.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Ahh yes, cannonball runs! I like these movies, funny and more enjoyable than the modern remake imo.

The Wraith, oo that looks like a good watch. Thanks for the suggestion, asia!

That was a nice top10 video posted by CharlieMurphy. Got a few added off that. A little surprised DeathProof got #1st, but I won't complain, the road scenes on that was great. Please make more like that Quentin!

I know all of the modern ones there are a few good ones, it's just that classics "get me" more I guess. Another modern ones to add- the Transporter series. Some nice scenes with the BMW7 and Audi A8.

Gone in 60 seconds defiantly haha Favorite car... Shelby 67 GTO Mustang ^_^ Another good one would be XXX and then obviously Death Race.

XXX Had the amazing 67 charger hard top :D Either the Shelby or the Charger is my choice of car... better luck with the charger since the Shelby was about $500,000 at last auction :'(
