The Car Movie Thread

[Mad Dog]

I know this has been discussed on the other forum, but thought I'd start a thread about it on The Factory Five Forum.

With the recent article in SEMA Magazine on "The California Kid," I took a look at my movie collection (it's always growing and lines the walls of a room in my house) and realized I don't have many car movies. Sure I own the Nick Cage "Gone in 60 Seconds" but have yet to pick-up the original (I know I should). I also have Bullitt and American Graffiti, and I guess you could call The Italian Job a car movie, but I only have the new version with Marky Mark, not the original. I also have the "Smokey and the Bandit" collection, and even though it's cheesy and over the top and quite possibly one of the lamest car movies ever, I do have Stallone's "Driven". Of course, "Days of Thunder" is in my collection as well. And I love Tarantino's "Death Proof". The second half of that movie has a really fun car chase in it.

I've looked at picking up "Grand Prix" but haven't pulled the trigger on that one quite yet. I was also looking at "Death Race 2000" the other day at Newbury Comics. "Cannonball Run" is also on my list of movies I'll be adding at some point.

What are some of the must have car movies in your opinion?
