CZAR · 11-13-2009, 05:35 PM

There are some good films for this category and some classics. U only get 1 vote so make it count. Also give your favorites and what u feel is the worst of this category. Also the category list is based on racing type movies. Got Em!!

havent watched many car movies, but i liked talladega nights, it was okay with some cheap humour here and there, the fast and the furious series arent bad either

I'm honestly not a big fan of any racing movies. I didn't hate Talledega Nights or The Fast and the Furious, but neither of them were great. Cars was alright, but I've always felt it was the weakest Pixar movie, although it's one of the best looking Blu-rays.

What no Vanishing Point on the list. How dare you sir !

It's a tough list to choose from, gonna have to think about this one.

Got a soft spot for Days of Thunder myself. I remember my Dad, brother and I seeing it in the theater together, when it came out.

eiker_ir · 11-13-2009, 06:03 PM

Days of Thunder for me too

mikejet · 11-13-2009, 06:37 PM

Where's Speed Racer?

Sussudio · 11-13-2009, 11:56 PM

Hmm, honestly, I personally don't think any of the movies listed are any good

But if we're talking car chases, I say French Connection

koontz1973 · 11-14-2009, 12:06 AM

Cannonball run, absolutely classic.

Favourites include both Cannonball runs, there remake in Rat Race and the original and remake of Death Race.

Oh come on! The Gumball Rally is much better than those Burt films!

Sixx · 11-14-2009, 02:20 AM

TheArsenal · 11-16-2009, 10:36 AM

Out of the list i'd take Two-Lane Blacktop

tbizzle · 11-16-2009, 10:56 AM

Oooh, this is my kinda thread! My favorites are Days of Thunder and Cars, but I love Gone in 60 Seconds remake and Driven as well.

No love for Bullitt? Italian Job? Lol I know those aren't exactly based on cars, but they deserve an honorable mention.
