Default What's your favorite car movie?

Can't personally pin it down to one, but top three (in no particular order)
Mad Max I (a roots blower you can turn on at the flick of a switch ?!!!)
Running on empty (how cool is that '57?)
Bullitt (what can I say cool actor, cool fastback, cool car chase)

Gone in 60 Seconds - The original ; all those stunts done at real speed, no trick photography there.

Honourable mentions

Mad Max
Vanishing Point - The original
Le Mans - Steve McQueen


Bullitt wasn't a "car" movie as such but the chase was in the top 5 of chases.
