i've been blocked again by the internet police

 

runner up....distant.......Le Mans..... with ole Steve McQueen......awesome crash sequence in slo-mo.......

where do you guys come up with these other flicks?????Rendezvous????? Rendezvous????????

 

pro, the actual name of the film is C'était un Rendezvous, try this link.

has anyone ever seen this kar flick?

 

i'm partial to Bullit, the old and new Italian Job, and 2 Fast 2 Furious, but only because of that sweet R34 Skyline

 

I gotta give my votes for Christine and Bullitt. Who doesn't want a car that can fix itself. Loved the Challenger in it too, which is why Bullitt gets a vote. Love SF and loved the chase scene!!

But...nobody's mentioned the Batman movies!! I loved the one Michael Keaton drove, makes me weak in the knees!! The TV version was cool too, if not a bit cheesy.

 

Oh hell yeah! There was an American movie called Running on Empty but this Australian one is one of the best kar movies ever! Blown 57 Chev running flat out through the outback at night with no lights on cause the driver is blind... an HG Monaro changing into an HT in mid-air just before it explodes...AWESOME movie. Wish I could find it here.

[edited] This post made me do a search online for the movie, apparently it's also known in the US as "Fast Lane Fever".

 

i found it here: http://www.pitstop.net.au/pitstop/pa...ies/15246.html
but i don't know if the DVD is formated for use in the USA?

 

I can almost guarantee it's region 6. Unless you have a non-region DVD player, it won't play here.
I might email them and confirm that though.

 

OK, who's got region 6 player & a burner

 

Was it in American Grafitti?

And lets not forget LeMans!

 

Wow what a good list - we should make this a poll! Everything mentioned here I'd watch, and if you haven't seen some of the more esoteric titles mentioned like Duel (by Spielberg!), Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!, or Death Race 2000 (with Stallone, David Carridine, and Gopher from Love Boat), you gotta see em!


My two favorite car movies are the original Dawn of the Dead (just for the scene where they tool around the mall it a VW Scirocco with the hatch up shooting zombies), and The Road Warrior.

 

I didnt like the original Italian Job to much, because so many of the good cars get destroyed. The new one is okay, I like Bullit a lot, especially because one friend has a 68 Mustang GT500, and another is restoring a Charger. But for right now I have to go with C'etait de rendezvous-The real thing, all in one take.

 

"The Love Bug".

 

Two Lane Blacktop is the BOMB!!!! I also like The Gumball rally. The best cross country race film ever!!!

 

Le Mans, Grand Prix, The Italian Job (original), Ronin.

 

i gave up trying to get "Two Lane Blacktop" not in stock, nowhere
never seen it & and i guess i never will

 

hey Agro......any luck getting the info from them?
or any info on getting this movie formatted for the USA?

 

Wow.. A thread revival from a year ago. My favorite Car films;
C'etait un Rendezvous
the five Getaway in Stockholm movies
The Transporter
and most of the short films from BMW Films with Clive Owen.

 

The response I got from those guys was:

 

I don't know if I'd call it my favorite, but have you seen "King of the Mountain" with Harry Hamlin and Dennis Hopper? Street racing on Mulholland Drive in the early 1980s.

 

One of my favorite is from 1989
Catch Me If You Can
The local highschool is threatened to be closed, unless they collect $200,000. The students' president Melissa struggles to collect the money, but lacks the support from her fellow students. So she accepts when car fetishist Dylan suggests to bet on him in car races against underworld king Phatman. At first everything goes well - too well ...
Nice cars fairly good plot.
This is knda hard to find though.
Cheers

 

woo hoo, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry , Bullitt, The Junkman, Original Gone in 60 Seconds, HOT ROD (Primered ******) , California Kid, Vanishing Point, The Duel, many more i have forgotten.


BTW, my dad has replicas of the Chargers in both Dirty Mary and Bullitt, allong with is other 2 Chargers lol, we are a Mopar family!!!

 

I can't believe so many people liked "Two Lane Blacktop" !!!! I got so bored watching that movie, mostly because nobody ever says anything, nobody tries to accomplish anything, and everyone in it is next to useless. Just not my kind of flick, I guess

Also, I was surprised how many people liked the new Italian Job. It felt like the studios took a great movie and put it through the hollywood meat grinder - POP - out comes a Marky Mark flick.

The original is still one of my all time favorite movies (not just for the chase scenes - also for Michael Caine's Prison Release Present ). It's pure ridiculousness bottled up and condensed into 2 hours of 70's fluff.

I know they're not chase scenes- but two truly intense car "moments" are in The Forgotten and Collateral. I recommend you see both :smile: There's a cool chase scene in one of the Indiana Jones's, too. I think it's at the beginning of Temple of Doom.

Goldeneye for it's Tank vs. Russian POS sedan

And if you've got the sense of humor to laugh at a movie that takes itself WAY too seriously and doesn't pull off ANY of the dialogue, RENT TORQUE!!! Right now it's my #2 movie of all time for being the most awesomely bad movie *ever*. The opening scene is a motorcycle blowing the doors off two rice rockets at like 160 MPH
