i,ll start of with,
disney pixars cars
italian job (original)
le mans
blues brothers (origial and sequel)
days of thunder
talladega nights
Talladega Nights was a good film. The Fast and Furious films were good, I also enjoyed The Dukes of Hazzard.
Pixar’s Cars all the way!
I literally shed a tear when Lightening gave up his win in Pixar’s Cars to give the King an honourable exit. So yeah, Cars all the way.
I liked the “re-make” of the Italian Job because it wasn’t a re-make at all, more a pastiche. Though I have to fast-forward through the boring love story.
Who can forget Drivel…sorry, Driven for its laughable awfulness?
hehe i allways loved the Mini coopers in the Italian Job
I watched Cars back when I was at school. Or, I watched the first half- I never did find out what happened to Owen Wilson after he got sent on car community service (although being a kiddies film it will have been a happy ending no doubt)
Oh, and what about this!…
Italian Job
Driven
Fast and Furious series
Cars is great, and I’ve seen the original Italian Job so many times I could probably recite most of it.
Grand Prix is a bit twee, but has some great footage and as far as F1 films go it’s the best we have at the moment. Le Mans is good too, but can be a bit of a marathon to watch at time. The French ‘Taxi’ films are a laugh and well worth watching on a rainy afternoon.
Vanishing Point is one of my favourites – that Dodge Challenger is uber cool.
I could literally go on for pages about my favourite car films…I won’t bore you all though!
– Grand Prix
– Le Mans
– The Speed Merchants (non fiction, best movie about racing ever)
– A man and a Woman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alQXaZDtsxk)
The actor, Jean-Louis Trintignant, is Maurice Trintignant’s nephew and was a good driver himself.
– Bobby Deerfield (some good racing scenes and these Brabham-Alfa were superb)
– The Great Race (yeah, I know but I love watching it with the kids)
I like real cars, so no cartoons in my personal best.
