What is your Fave flick moments that revolves around autos??
I say it is when Delaney (Steve McQueen) rear ends the 911 at hits the wall in his 917 (he was distracted by a Ferrari 512 long tail exploding!) in "Le Mans". How did they do THAT? Real twisted metal, no CGI!
5 points for Porsche content
5 points for RACING flick
10 point Steve McQeen coolness
1 point Slow motion relpay
100 points 911 distruction (hehe)
so that is 21 kewl points and 100 points for distruction...
BTW Le Mans is the greatest racing flick of all TIME! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

I like the begining of the movie when he is driving through the town in the 911.

Cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif)

Gumball Rally. There is a Jag sitting in a NYC garage, they try starting it and can't get it going ... "Well it sure is a handsome design."

Guess you meant moving... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

No porsche content, but I love the chase scene in Bullitt (another Steve McQueen movie). Especially when the bad guy loses more than 4 hubcaps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

many people don't care for the film, but I liked "No Mans Land"... actually I liked both versions, but the one I'm refering to here is the Porsche theft ring with Charlie Sheen.

Other car flick favs...
Smokey and the Bandit (only the 1st)
Cannonball Run (only the 1st)
The Wraith
Gumball Rally
LeMans
Banzai Runner (Love the truck seen)
Vanishing Point
Christine (Love the Fury)
Grand Prix (Don't know why I like JG films)

Oh, I also loved Gone in 60 Seconds (the new one, haven't seen the original). Can you tell I like Mustang fastbacks? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (I have a 67)

Bullitt does have some VW content. They pass the same bug like four times during the chase. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hell yeah Tod, Gumball Rallye is awesome!

I love the Bullitt chase scene as well. There was a movie from the '80's that had Harry Hamlin in it that was pretty cool. Anyone remember the name? He drove a Speedster. Bunch of foreign auto mechanics that raced on Mulholland Drive all the time.

How about the Charlie Sheen/Anthony Edwards Porsche car thief ring flick? Again I do not remember the name. EDIT- That's it djm, No-Man's Land!

The Harry Hamlin flick was "King of the Hill" and it was DB Sweeny in No Mans Land... IMDB dot com is a wonderful thing! I am good, but that site makes me a movie GAWD!
buhahahahaha!

Yes! King of the Hill! Saw that on HBO in the early '80's. Thanks. That was a nice flashback.

One that I think is kind of cool is The Rock. The chase scene between the Hummer and the Ferrari is pretty cool. And anything with Sean Connery is good!

Check out a movie called "To Live and Die in L.A." Got to be the best chase ever. These guys get away by going the wrong way on the freeway. No special effects, just good stunt driving. It was also a pretty good movie with great cinematography. I think Willem Defoe was the bad guy.
Cheers, Elliot

Movie: HEAVY METAL

Scene: when the mothership approaches earth and the guy gets in his spacesuit and jumps into his convertible, drives out the space-dock and slowly descents down towards earth, activates the heat shield and coasts down to land right next to his house.

priceless !!!

PS.: of course, most of you are probably too young to know that movie. haha, it's a early '80s thing, you know ...

I've always thought it was a toss-up between Le Mans and Grand Prix as "best racing picture". Le Mans, at least, didn't try to tack on a hoky love story. But both had great racing sequences. Both were terrible as movies, but great as racing footage.

However, "best movie with cars prominently featured" is still the ORIGINAL _Italian Job_. Don't let the fact I have two Minis delude you into thinking I'm biased here....

Not a chase scene, but a really funny scene in Planes, Trains and Automobiles is when they are driving the wrong way on the highway in that rented LeBaron with the wood paneling.

Concerned couple in the car across the median:

"You're going the WRONG WAY!!!!!"

John Candy:

"Uh huh, right... how do they know where we're going?"

Too much to recap, but they trashed that thing BAD!

When Herbie the Love Bug beats the Lambo...

That was the best! Any Herbie movie was great.

Worst movies of all time:

Corvette summer, King of the Hill, Any movie where rice wins - like Need for Speed, etc.
