[Healeys] [ot] classic car films

G'day Jody

What about Le Mans? After all you do get to see the Healey XR37 three times
throughout the film.

Hey all,

I was trying to explain the movie Vanishing Point to the wife tonight
and then started making a top ten car films list because of it. I
don't like all of the list I've come up with (nor could I determine a
really good #10). What movies am I missing from my list? The idea is
that the car is either a central carachter, or so integral to the film
that it becomes such. Here's my working list:

1) Italian Job (Original)
2) Vanishing Point
3) Bullett
4) Cars
5) Mad Max (including the Road Warrior)
6) Gone in 60 Seconds (Both versions)
7) Herbie the love bug
8) Smokey and the Bandit
9) Cannoball Run

There's many b-stars to go with this. Harold and Maude, Downhill
Racer, THX1138, Fast and the Furious, What's new Pussycat, the Bond
films, etc, etc.

What do you all think?

Jody
