Car movies..

You've just started it! We have done one of these before and got lots of interesting replies but as there are quite a few new films out with crazy cars/chase scenes it is probably time we revisited the topic.
My fave car movies:
Fast and Furious - this helped to raise the profile of car modding and drag racing. Although it has now been cheapened and sullied by the chavs and their plastic fantastics.
Tokyo Drift - One of the best drifts I have ever seen, up the car park ramp. Awesome stunt and plenty of nice cars to look at.
Gone in 60 Seconds - Elenore, what more can I say?
The chase scene in Bourne Ultimatum was good but I think the mini in the first Bourne film was one of the best movie chases.

The original Gone in 60 Seconds has a very good car chase - 48 mins or so, basically the second half of the film, but what would you expect from a film written, directed and acted by a stunt driver? The remake is really just a borrowing of the film's name. I think there are two bits of the film which are replicated, but I enjoyed that too.
Practically the entire length of Vanishing Point is a car chase. The first film is the better film, but the remake with Vigo Mortensen or whatever his name is has a brilliant scene with a Dodge Charger chasing a Dodge Challenger.
I enjoyed the Fast and the Furious films for what they were - car #!#!#!#! and a little bit of talking!
Two Lane Black Top has a few good car moments in it, although mostly it's about the road rather than the cars - a (very) modified Chevy and a brilliant Pontiac GTO.
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry has some brilliant moments, although its not much different from the better film of Vanishing Point.
I'm always on the look out for a decent car film!

Stuntmen do the dangerous stuff and alot it them are just camera tricks as well.

Taxi is is definitely in my top 3 films, I've got 2 & 3 as well but I've not seen 4 yet & I can't find a copy (If anyone see's one please let me know). One my all time favourite scenes is the rally stage at the beginning of Taxi 2 :amuse:

There's no sub titles on this clip so some of the humour is missing.
My other most loved driving films would be...
Initial D, drift racer,
Akira (for the bike scenes),
Cannon ball,
Convoy,
Ronin,
Duel,
The Cannonball Run,
& The Smokey & the Bandit series.
Also, I used to have a copy of Walter Rohrl attacking Pikes Peak but I've lost it many moons ago...the moral is, don't lend films out unless you don't want to see the again!

Your welcome, I'd recommend avoiding the dubbed versions the sub titles are far, far better, ENJOY! :amuse:

Is the french 1 with the subtitles the English version? I watched it once and it wrecked my head cause I bought it from a shop an it was in french with subtitles? I thought they'd robbed me....:embarrest:

This is a great website...awesome job ...
I can't remember how I found it now, but I go on there if I see something interesting in a film and I'm not sure what it is. It's good too, that most (maybe all?) entries are followed up with a still so you can see which car is which.
