Not a car movie in itself But the scene in Alfred 'Hitchcock s movie "The
birds" where Rod Taylor is trying to get away from the birds in his carand
they are all sitting on the rear window of the car and leaning into the
turns

BTW,Does the defintion of a B movie require the squealing of tires on dirt
roads and the driver shifting the gears while both hands are on the wheel?
