Gonna have to American Graffiti

[1320junkie]

Two-lane Blacktop, or for drag racing fans, Heart like A Wheel

[fasrnur]

I will have to agree...American Graffiti! You would have to be an old fart like myself as I can relate with all that went on in that movie.

I did just about everything they did when I was a teenager. WAY back in the earlier 70\'s



The next one would have to be Two Lane Black Top. If you have heard or even seen this movie you\'re an old fart too! LOL



Then lets not forget Hollywoods Knights.

Not quite as good but had some kick a$$ cars in it.



Okay I\'ve dated myself, but those are my opinons. I\'m sure the younger folks would have their choices also.



Lets hear it people!

Two lane black top was the best car movie, cool thing is the 3 original 55\' chevys are still around.

Super Chevy had an article on #2, I didn\'t know but they used the same car for Harrison Fords 55 in American Graffiti.

[msa1t0t]

I personally love the Trans Am in Smokey and the Bandit. The driver did a good job too. Ha Ha

[BadBowtie]

well since i havent seen all the movies you guys are talking about id have to go with the newer gone in sixoty seconds. the only other movie i saw that might be classified as a car movie was this crappy one called slow and calm, not that not it sorry maybe it was fast and crappy. or maybe furiouslly slow i dont remember, it just had these stupid imports in it lol!

[whiner3]

two lane blacktop is sweet... the 70 judge and the 55 chevy just do something for me... and hey i\'m only 18 so don;t call me an old fart... and the original gone in 60 seconds was pretty cool to.... but elenor in the new one is a much nice car instead of that ugly ass mustang in the original one

[Wendell]

two lane black top gets my vote. gotta love those 55 chevys

[Zack]

I\'ve seen just about everything that you guys are talking about here. A movie that has been overlooked here, and that is just as good as any of them was the 1997 Fox Re-Release of \"Vanishing Point\". It has a 1970 Challenger R/T in it. It\'s a sweet movie, but it was never released on video. I saw it on Speedvision one night. The one that was released in 1971 was alright, but the 1997 re-make was excellent.

i had never heard of 2 lane black top but i think ill start looking for it

i gotta go with gone in sixty seconds the new one or at least the last 50mins of the original

[bohn333]

Anybody ever see Born to run? Thats also a good one, or Catch me if you can. I watch way to much TV....lol

[fasrnur]

I like a lot of the older movies. Bullitt, Mad Max, Two Lane Blacktop, and a particular favorite of mine is Duel.

[knudsonm]

I love all car movies!!! All the ones you have mentioned are great. I like Ronin for the awesome car chase. My favorite movie is Dazed and Confused, and the cars are awesome in the movie also.

[Mike]

ronin is a pretty cool movie, it\'s one of the first dvd\'s i ever bought, matrix was the first. pretty cool chase in ronin. and robert d

[my454s10]

[basementdweller]

I\'m undecided about the best car movie but the best car SERIES on TV right now is FASTLANE by far... that show KICKS TOO MUCH ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif

[whiner3]

i can\'t beleive i forgot about vanishing point.... the challenger is just too sweet..... but at the end where they crash the shallenger into the bulldosers watch carefully........ it\'s actualy a 67 camaro... another good car movie is christine... the 58 fury is sweet... and the car in joe dirt s not a hemicuda it\'s a hemi gtx convertable if i remember right... it might be a roadrunner though

[4more]

i gotta agree for newwer tv shows fastlane rocks the cars they use are sweet and they drive the pissout of them to.

[BadBowtie]

the best tv series of all time had to be Knight rider that had one sweet firebird.

Anyone ever see a show called viper?

It was like knight rider but with a viper rt10. it had armor plating and changed shape and stuff it was cool!

[MrMouseMotor]

You guys forgot about corvette summer. Thats a good one. You can tell because the guy paints the car right over the old paint.

[my454s10]

every one is forgeting the show that started it all....what about those god ole duke boy\'s and the flying gerneal lee...

[bohn333]

What about Born to Run...one of the baddest sounding 428 mustangs ever to be heard in that movie.

[MrWheelHop]

I duno I always liked dazed and confused.Good stoner/cool car movie.The movies wasn\'t focused around the cars but their were come sweet cars....that cool dude have a nice chevelle

[Kyle]

[BadBowtie]

[racer1182]

[MATTIO]

Christine is the best.... and another movie ,i cant remember name, but principal hid his 55(?)chevy under the football field for like 25 years. whole movie is about street racingby good-goody high schoolers... anyway...also american grafitti rocks.my kids even like it.

[ReedZ]

Ahh.

That\'s the movie with Nick Nolte right? I can\'t think of the name of it, but you\'re right, it was a pretty good movie.



There was another old one with Paul Newman in it that i can\'t remember the name of it either

[AF-s10]

1 - Catch me if you can (why won\'t they release it on DVD!)

2 - 2 Lane Blacktop

3 - American Graffiti



And the bad part, only #1 was new when I was growing up....pretty sure the other 2 were out before I was even born, but they are still GREAT movies!

[QUARTER_MILE_MASTER]

come on guys....whether or not you like imports, you gotta LOVE the YENKO in 2 fast 2 furious!!!! you know the cars bad ass if an import movie has to use good ole american muscle to beat the bad guys. they actually had like 7 camaros made to exact specs as the original...but they only had one real yenko on the set

[chris-350]

american graffiti, and the o.g. gone in 60
