Gator Good soundin Ford
Wendal Scott story (not sure of real title) Cool early NASCAR Stuff

I have never heard of that movie, awesome 70's chase! I absolutely love the 4 bbl whale on those squad cars!

 

My favorite recent flick is "deathproof ". Good ol Kurt Russell Goes B-movie and kicks ass in this one. the girls are smokin hoties . anything from grindhouse is the shit man

I love "Bullit" with Steve Mcqueen even though the car he drives is a ford mustang

"Christine" is pretty bad ass from the 70's horror king carpenter

 

I watched California Kid last night, hadn't seen it in years... it's not a bad movie, but someone should put a better soundtrack to it! It was supposed to be in 1958 but the music is some gawd-awful synthesized/Charlies Angels TV show style crap form the 70's. It kills the movie! Someone should put some 58 rock and roll into it. It would be a much better movie.. The right music was one of the reasons American Graffitti did so well. "Kid" has some decent actors in it, Sheen, Nolte and (his name escapes me right now) the guy who got his head chopped off by a helicopter while filming another movie.

 

little bit off topic but still relating to this thread, what about rum runner songs? i was listening to Steve Earle and was thinking what a great song copperhead road is. you can see his granddaddy starting up that old dodge to make the shine run, he has a great way with words and song writing. started the song with those old bagpipes, really paints a great picture

 

hell ya! he wrote a video for the song and it's a rum runner video with the dodge and all!! this just became one of my all time favorite videos!! grandad hauling ass in that dodge drinking shine lol.

hey can anyone identify the year of that beauty in the video?

 

The original Gone in 60 Seconds

 

"THUNDER ROAD" by Robert Mitchum is far and away my favorite. Also have the 45 record he did of the Thunder Road song back in '62.
(Have the movie on both VHS and DVD)
It was filmed about 30 miles north of where I live.

 

Death Proof
The Blues Brothers
Vanishing Point
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry

 

Oh, and someone told me I should watch 'THE CANNONBALL RUN', and it totally sucked...

 

Don't forget Richie Havens (Of Woodstock Fame)!

I'd have to say...

what about moonshine highway

 

you have to host off of a site,it looks like you are trying to host the picture off of your hard drive.

 

yes what is the name of that movie?!!
the neighbor rearends the nomad......

 

May Pop,
Right on there! Duel was one great movie. Dennis Weaver, great actor as well!

 

This is not a car chase movie, but super interesting to car nuts.. It is a documentary that I believe was called " Americas love affair with the Automobile". It had tons of old car advertising footage as well as info about moonshiners, etc, etc. I saw it several years ago on a vhs tape a friend had.

 

Greased Lightning is the name of the movie about Wendell Scott, which takes some pretty good liberties with the actual story.

 

OUTRAGE 1973 with Robert Culp. thats the one they rear end the nomad.

My Mistake, The documentary was called "Driving Passion: Americas Love Affair With The Car". It was a four part series Aired in 1995 by Turner Home Entertainment.
