Following the previous war movies I thought about making this thread, but since there are bound to be not nearly as many I figured to combine them:
Vanishing Point Dirty Mary Crazy Larry Bullit Gone in 60 seconds (both) Ronin Death Race 2000 American Graffiti Fast and Furious series (Tokyo Drift kinda sucked, but otherwise...) Black Dog Breakdown Christine
As far as movies with cars in it, The Fast&Furious series is pretty entertaining. The F&F as car movies? They pretty much suck. But I don't let that stop me from watching them.
My entry, Torque. Which is technically a motorcycle movie. And I'm not going to say if it's on my best list or my worst list. Lol
Good: Two Lane Blacktop Vanishing Point Monte Carlo or Bust! (Those Magnificent Man in their Jaunty Jalopies) Mad Max To Please a Lady The Great Race Grand Prix LeMans Mother, Jugs & Speed Greased Lightning Smokey & the Bandit The Driver The Hollywood Knights Used Cars Heart Like a Wheel Streets of Fire
Bad: Death Race 2000 Corvette Summer Convoy Six-Pack Gone in 60 Seconds Transporter 2
Good Chase Scene: Bullitt THX1138 The French Connection The Seven-Ups Freebie and the Bean McQ Mr. Majestyk The Blues Brothers
Fear is the Key, had a very good chase segment. I do believe they were trying to capitalize on the success of Vanishing Point as Barry Newman was the driver in both. I'll second everyone that said Mr. Majestik, The French Connection, The Seven-Ups, The Driver, and of course Bullitt. Ronin was a good as well, but those skinny little European streets give me the willies, especially the ones made entirely of rounded edge pavers.
