Question Car Movies

I'd like to start a list of car and motorcycle related movies. I'm still formulating the criteria, but if you don't see one on this list you think should be reply and I'll add it.

Examples that just barely make the cut: "Dukes of Hazard", "The Italian Job"
Examples that didn't make the cut: "Joe Dirt" (Though he sure loves Hemis)

NOTE: Just because a movie is on this list doesn't mean it's a good movie (e.g., Driven, Redline).

CARS:
Bullit - Contains one of the great original car chases.
The Big Wheel [1949]
The Cannonball Run
Cannonball Run II
The Car
Cars
Christine
Corvette Summer - Luke Skywalker is chasing his stolen Corvette; need I say more.
The Crowd Roars [1932]
Days of Thunder
Death Proof
Deadline Auto Theft
Driven
Dukes of Hazard
The Fast and the Furious
2 Fast 2 Furious
Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift
Gone in 60 Seconds [1974]
Gone in 60 Seconds [2000]
Grand Prix
The Gumball Ralley
Mad Max - Strangely attractive lifestyle
Hooper
The Italian Job [1969]
The Italian Job [2003]
The Junkman
Le Mans [1971]
The Racers[1955]
Redline - Makes "Fast and Furious" seem like Shakespeare.
Redline 7000 [1965]
Smokey and the Bandit - That TA was my first clear car memory, and I wanted one.
Smokey and the Bandit II
Stroker Ace
Talladega Nights
The Transformers : The Movie [1986]
Transformers [2007]
Used Cars
Vanishing Point
The Wraith

MOTORCYCLES:
Easy Rider
The Leather Boys
The Loveless
Quadrophenia
The World's Fastest Indian
Biker Boyz

BOTH:
Dust To Glory

What was that movie where Burt Reynolds was the stuntman...he drove a red firebird...... oh...and speaking of Burt: Stroker Ace was a "nascar" flick. I know it doesn't count, but in Mr Deeds, Deeds bought the whole town C5 convertables at the end of the flick:"Damn..these things are fast....***zoooommmmmmm*** CRASH!!... it's ok...I'm fine" lol

I'll add Stroker Ace and I think the other Burt movie must be Hooper; added. I just saw Mr. Deeds the other day, but I don't think it makes the cut here .

Cars was in there already.

I added "Days of Thunder" (how could I forget), "Vanishing Point", which I didn't know about at all, and the "World's Fastest Indian" (a great movie in my opinion). I also remembered a great old suspense movie, "The Car". "XXX" doesn't quite cut it for this list and I'm on the fence about "American Graffiti". What do you guys think?

Not sure. But now that you mention I think one of the early movies done by Spielberg was something like a trucker running people down. I'll have to go look it up.

Duel is the one I was thinking of.

These are borderline. I'll have to think about them.

Default Steve McQueen, motor movie god

1- The motorcycle jump at the end of "the Great Escape".

2- 68 GT 390 airborn in "Bullitt" during the best chase scene ever filmed. No computer generated crap or special effects, just pure Detroit muscle car. For you Mopar guys, yea the Charger R/T 440 would eat the 'stang's lunch in the real world.

3- My favorite, the pure gut wrenching force-of-nature primal roar of the Porche 917 in "Le Mans". Of any car, street or track, the 917 is the car I'd most like to drive, assuming that I could work up the nad to actually get in the beast.
