COMPETITION: Win a Cars 2 Pack

[craig_the_german]

If you asked my 10yo son........Cars (the original)

My fav....any of the Herbie movies

[Mr Messy]

Has to be Ronin for me. Top storyline with plenty of action that gave the cars equal billing with Hollywood stars. With the frenzied run from the cops in an Audi S8, darting through Parisian tunnels in BMW's M5 and firing rockets from the Merc 6.9, there's plenty for car lovers to enjoy. Plus, and this is important, the French cars lose to the Germans every time.

I just remembered another movie with plenty of car action in it that's a good watch.

i'd have to say initialD, the taiwanese(i think?) version.

good music, easy to watch, shows what drifting is REALLY about (corner speed, not hard parking)

+1 for Initial D. Scotty it was a Hong Kong production. A great movie.

Some others I've liked.... American graffiti and The Italian job (original) and the first Fast and the Furious.

[MISS VDUB]

There is a movie that holds a special place in my heart that as a kid watched it with my Dad and then begged him to take me to Hot Rod shows and that is the one and only.... American Graffitti.

American Graffiti co-written/directed by George Lucas starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Paul Le Mat, Charles Martin Smith, Cindy Williams, Candy Clark, Mackenzie Phillips and Harrison Ford. Set in 1962 Modesto, California, American Graffiti is a study of the cruising and rock and roll cultures popular among the post–World War II baby boom generation. The film is a nostalgic portrait of teenage life in the early 1960s told in a series of vignettes, featuring the story of a group of teenagers and their adventures within one night.

Such an awesome movie, with an awesome soundtrack. Proud to say I have the original vinyl which was owned by Dad.

Not bad for a movie produced on a $775,000 budget, the film has turned out to be one of the most profitable movies of all time

PS: This was probably my introduction to "car movies" like it was you taking the kids to see Cars 2. They will remember it as I to this very day remember also sitting with my Dad in beanbags watching this!

+1 for Initial D. Scotty it was a Hong Kong production. A great movie.

yeah InitialD confused me, lol - i swear i've seen the main character in a taiwanese drama that my kid sis has on dvd, but it sounded like they were speaking cantonese (?), with all cast having japanese names, and the film shot in japan.

dammit. now i have to go find the dvd - i've lost one copy, and i just hope the 2nd one i bought hasnt faced the same fate all 3 of my copies of HEAT have - gone missing

p.s. best driving song ever (HEAT)- when al pacino gets in the helicopter to go find robert deniro on the highway in the night time... catching up to him through traffic, then asking him if he wants to get coffee, which leads to "the conversation"

[kakyoin01]

it will be The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift of cause ...

[Hail22]

James Garner in Grand Prix!

I just watched DRIVE and there was a couple of good car chasers ,the movie was slow at times except during the exhilarating chasers

Initial D 2 is supposed to be on the cards. Be good to see the 'tofu' delivery boy tearing up the twisties again. lol

Not really a car movie, but for me it is The Flintsones. Brilliant fuel economy, no flat tyres, and zero emissions.
