There's lots I have only seen bits & pieces of and never did get the name.

So what's you're favorites. old or new !!!

 

Thunder Road & Big Wheel

 

Gator. "I call it shaky puddin" >>>>.

the car chase in the original "Gone in 60 Seconds"

 

Bad Georgia Road! The only good character in the whole movie happens to be a 70 road runner!

 

"Thunderbolt and Lightfoot"
"Dirty Mary & Crazy Larry" (or was it the other way around?)
"Vanishing Point" (the original)
"Used Cars"
and just for the sheer number of 50's & 60's cars, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"

 

The Blues Brothers
The Car
Mad Max
not very old but have good chases

 

almost forgot "grindhouse: Deathproof" has a good chase at the end with a charger and a challenger.

 

Macon County Line
Vanishing Point

 

Anybody that has ever been a salesman, bought a used car or sold a used car or had a red car should watch Used Cars...one of my all time favorites...

 

"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"... that movie is funny as hell and what a cast of characters. highly recommended.



oh yeah... lots of cars too.

 

The original Gone in 60 Seconds.

 

The Blues Brothers

2 Lane Blacktop

American Graffiti

Hot Rod

 

I can't believe no one mentioned Smokey and the bandit, especially since we lost Jerry this year, that and cannon ball run. They just don't make good movies like that anymore.

 

The chase in the most recent Gone in 60 seconds is great as well!

 

Hot Rods to Hell
The Blob.....Steve McQueen and a bunch of roadsters.
Hot Rod
Hollywood Knights
Bullitt
Eddie and the Cruisers
The Warriors
Rebel without a Cause
The Californer Kid
American Graffiti
Two Lane Black Top
The Lords of Flatbush
The Wanderers
Coupe De Ville
The Lively Set
Red Dawn

Not all are car flicks, most are. I've got clips and trailer of many of them plus @ a lot of vintage racing stuff and rodding, etc. MySpace if you,ve got time to kill. http://www.myspace.com/emil46driver

 

thunder road

 

You beat me to it. All the others are just wishful thinking and sloppy seconds.
