Not looking to take away from the American Graffiti thread, so I figured I'd start a new one. I'm looking to add to my video library and add some DVDs when I get a player. Good, bad or otherwise, I plan to own every car movie I can get my hands on.

What I have now:
Le Mans
Cannonball Run
Gumball Rally
Smokey and the Bandit
Victory by Design - Porsche

What's on my list so far:
American Graffiti
Two Lane Black Top
No Mans Land
Banzai Runner
The Wraith
other Cannonball Run sequils
other Smokey and the Bandit sequils
VBD - Ferrari

What am I missing (and other discussions)?

I'd add:

Bullitt and any of the BMW Films short films staring Clive Owen as "The Driver". Does anyone know if you can get all the BMW films on DVD?

My copy of Le Mans on DVD came in the mail today. I can't wait to put this one in the player and fire up the surround-sound.

If you're looking for movies in general with good chase scenes...

'Ronin' - I'll second the vote for that one. Excellent car scenes.
'Bullit' - Gotta have classic.
'The Peacemaker' has an excellent BMW's vs. MB chase turned demolition derby. Not bad.
'The Soldier' was an 80's spy movie with a 911 turbo chase ending in a (prearanged) jump across the Berlin wall. (Cooler than it sounds - occupants survive, car doesn't)

Anybody ever see "Condorman" ??

It was a Disney spy flick that featured the bad guy with 8-10 black 911's running around like his "posse". Great chase scenes.. I was 7-8 years old when it came out. I have looked it up online and found some references to it... but havent seen it available for sale.

"Rondevous" is five wicked minutes in Paris.

I have the BMW films on DVD; I got it from the dealer. I also have them on CD, off the web.

"Star" rocks!

XXX, calm down now, the one with Vin Diesel -- good opening chase scene.
Road Warrior, Mad Max for the post-apocolypse view of motoring and chasing.

Ha ha! Brad, just like you I went to this movie at age 8 or 9. It was cool watching that string of black 911's manuevering in formation. I left the movie determined to find out what kind of car they were. Been interested in Porsches ever since. In fact, I STILL want a black 911 turbo with mirrored windows. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

-Ben M.

ps - the 911's were cool but don't go looking for the movie expecting to find a masterpiece. he he. I do hold some affection for it though - being my intro to Porsches and all.

I'm sorry, but I admit that I enjoyed the movie. I was embarrassed to go watch it at the theaters and waited til it went on DVD.

I too remember Condorman...sick isn't it...

Anyway, I just thought of another Must Have car movie.

VANISHING POINT (1970)
Kowalski, the hero of the story, works for a car delivery service. He takes delivery of a supercharged 1970 Dodge Challenger to take from Colorado to Frisco, California. Shortly after pickup, he takes a bet to get the car there in less than 15 hours. After a few run-ins with motorcycle cops and highway patrol they start a chase to bring him into custody. Along the way, Kowalski is guided by Supersoul - a blind DJ with a police radio scanner. Throw in lots of chase scenes, gay hitchhikers, a naked woman riding a motorbike, lots of Mopar and you've got a great cult hit from the early 70's

How about The Hollywood Knights?

It's an American Graffiti knock off I know...

It was only recently released on video.

If you know the movie you'll know this line:

"Laaaaawwwwrrrrreennncee, Laaawwwrreeennce of Araaaaaaaaaabbbbiaaaaa....he was an English guuuuuuuyyyyyy...he came to fight the Tuuuurrrkkiiishhh"...

"The Driver" mentioned earlier is a very cool movie! Put it on your list!

For a cool car chase scene... "Against all Odds" can't remember shit 'bout the movie, but it had a very cool scene in it with a 3.2 carrera and a Ferrari

Oh, and there's that french movie "Taxi"
Lots of wicked streetracing through Paris
(there's also a sequal, but I haven't seen that)

cheers,

Jeroen

"Good though!"

Good one Mike....

That movie is a great "after party" flick. It's cheezy, but good. "Cannonball Runnish" if you will....

There was an early 80's movie I saw on HBO about a guy that worked at an import garage (Harry Hamlin) that had a tuned 356 he raced throughout the movie. Anyone recall? Is it one we've mentioned?

I've had Victory By Design saved on the Tivo for 2-3 months now. Why does Porsche hate the 914 so much? There is not a single mention of the 914 or the 914 racing wins. There is some footage of someone driving a 914 around the Targa Florio course but you never see an outside shot of the car nor is the car mentioned.

And to top it all off, there is basically a 10 minute advertisement for the Boxster at the end.

Mad Max
Deathrace 2000
Why Johnny Cant Speed
The Duel (70's story about a travelling sales guy tangling with a psycho trucker out in the Mojave).
I second the Ronin nomination.

And there was this German movie back in the 80's, actually pretty stupid, but had some very cool photography in one scene where a guy is stressed out, and takes his 911 for a "brisk drive" and smashes it up. The movie was called "Killer Cars".

THX1138 has a chase scene with some CanAM style cars and police robots on motorcycles. Very reminicsent of Star Wars, in fact, by the same director. . .
