What about Gumball Rally - not the Gumball 3000 documentaries, i mean the original film that rocks and a very pretty t-bucket in it towards the end.

What about Rendezvous (c'etait un) does that count as a film??

And initial D - drift racer, in japanese but still rocks.


flak monkey - 9/5/08 at 11:19 AM

Leaving Las Vegas
Bringing Out the Dead
American Beauty
Donnie Darko


Spyderman - 9/5/08 at 12:07 PM

Gone in Sixty seconds, the original Halicki film.

Also;
The Italian Job, original
Blues Brothers 1 and 2
Vanishing point, both versions, but original is slightly better.
Cannonball 1 and 2
Gumball Rally
And of course Bullit!

Other memorable car films include "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry" and "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot".


eznfrank - 9/5/08 at 12:10 PM

What about the slightly rarer Cannonball 3 - Speedzone?? I got a copy from Holland, worth a watch but not a patch on the originals.


BenB - 9/5/08 at 12:13 PM

No way! Not Blues Brothers 2!! That blew chunks!!!

1) Raiders of the Lost Ark
2) Le Mans (just for the soundtrack)
3) Blues Brothers 1
4) When Harry Met Sally
