Ok, so I'm prepping for my forthcoming UK roadtrip and of course I'm getting in the zone watching my all time fav 'Vanishing Point'. Saw this movie when it first came out long before I ever dreamed of owning V8 muscle. Other films include Easy Rider, Italian Job, Ronin & Bourne's etc but that whole Challenger R/T thing?

I go for low budget.

Any @DAVIETHESCAFF you tube movie is worth a watch.

Of course, I'm not adverse to a classic "Geneviève".

I am a big fan of the Italian Job because I can related to the cars and the places they filmed it since I grew up with them cars and have seen most of the places in the Italian Job Also love the driving scenes in the Graduate with the Alfa Spider round tail.

Of course the old original Mad Max are sweet too.

Nope, all of you have missed the best. The Blues Brothers.

and that’s how the Sarge parks.:grin:

and Avel Du with Blue Badger driving style.

Have to agree on this one:wink:
Does it still hold the record for the largest amount of police cars wrecked in a movie?

No one has mentioned the fast and the furious.......the only car movies where 10 second races last 5 minutes and the airfield runways are 35 miles long>

 

[Mike Florey]

"French Connection" chase scene.

Who remembers Monte Carlo or Bust. Terry Thomas, Tony Curtis, Pete & Dud. A very silly but fun movie with some cutting edge car technology (not) for its day.

The Fast and the Furious - Roger Corman version with Jags.
Italian Job - Michael Caine
Racers
Big Wheel - midget movie
Grand Prix
LeMans
Gumball Rally - 300SL. XKE was often cut.
Vanishing Point with Charlotte Rampling scene & Lady Godiva motorcyclist.
Anything by Toby Halecki. Have original soundtrack "Gone In 60 Seconds". "Slicer" was recreated in one of the F&F series.
Speed
Driven esp. Sly picking up quarters
To please a Lady
Smokey and the Bandit - Pursuit Pack

 

[Terminal]

Even if you don't particularly like motorbikes 'The World's Fastest Indian' is a gem of a movie.

 

[M4rCu5]

Why is 'Rush' missing from this list?

 

[Paulwirral]

To be fair , gumball rally is the most appropriate movie to watch before a road trip .
Most of the others suggested I'd be watching before committing a robbery !
