The Greatest Car Movies

[Duncan]

Well since Kel is off in Tassie hooning around in an r35 again, I figured it was time to take over the tv and go through the collection.

I ended up choosing the Italian Job (original of course), but what else is worth a watch?

"On days like these......"

[Swiper the Fox]

cannot remember the name of it but its about the american fella who tried to jump his car 1 mile.

EDIT: The Devil at your heels. Ken Carter is the crazy nutcase.

[Duncan]

yeah Chris, for sure. I reckon Ronin might be *the* best car movie. I was ->| |<- close to choosing it tonight.

The problem is once you know the twist it takes some of the interest out.

But still "A+++ would use again"

[Duncan]

BTW I do have all the fnf stuff too. 22 gears in the car in the first one, pretty impressive. More like popcorn movie than a classic though

[Duncan]

lol sorry paul, didn't see the edit.

will have to give it a watch that guy sounds mad.

[evil_weevil]

Not a car movie....but has cool car chases....Ronin!

umm.....do the FnF marathon! Im sure you have the collectors box set of that Duncan!

[Duncan]

Duncan, I'm going thru my old movies and anything I REALLY like I'm updating to Blu-Ray versions.

Looking for an excuse to update the two Transporter movies, as well as Death Proof and a few others. If you want either or all of them, you can have them cheap cheap!!!

Other movies with good car chases and/or scenes include Crank and Ferris Beuller's Day Off. I'm sure there are heaps more out there. A quick Google search came up with these sites:

• Varaces.com
  
• Top 10 Car Chase Movies - MSNBC
  
• CarChaseMovies.com
  
• Movies for Guys - Top 10 Car Chases
  

I've already got Blu-Ray copies of Bullitt and Ronin. I've also just bought Wanted, but haven't watched it yet.

[NISMO]

Can't believe everyone's missed it.

"Cars"

Ka-ching!

Have two boys under 5 I have seen this movie bordering on 20katrillion times. No i aint exagerating!
