Anybody know some good car movies??

Wednesday, September 22, 2004 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Or maybe so movies you would go to in your car back in the day when there was drive-ins?

In the future i really want to open a drive in and show movies. I haven't picked a spot yet but its going to be in NYC.

Well anyway, back to reality of now, what are your favorite car/drive in movies?

Or Teen angst movie with car grabbing scenes? I want to make a report on it
(I into making reports these days)

Here is a couple:
Cannon Ball Run
Eat My Dust
Night Shift
American Graffiti

Not sure about the Lords of Flatbush but I will ad it in for flavor.

Duel is a classic!
There is a Drive-in about a half hour from me in Delaware.

How about Deathrace 2000.

#19 by juryguy - 9/22/2004 1:01:43 PM Hey, does anybody remember a little flick by the name of Vanishing Point? That absolutley belogns on any top ten list.


Yes! I remember that..a cult classic!

How about "The Car" 1977, starring James Brolin? Sort of like Christine, but you never see the driver!

#10 by paxx - 9/22/2004 7:22:57 AM A shame Drive-ins have all closed in the US, we still have them here in Quebec. :


Really? To me, I think a drive-in can come back but you got to make it special. people love their cars, whether they are car buffs or not. its part of the family in some ways.


how can you NOT take your car to the movies???

Plus "Winning", one of Paul Newman's best.

Actually....best 2 'car' movies ever.....Rendezvous, and that one of Pikes Peak.

Neither were 'staged', though Rendezvous was shot very early on a Sunday morning in Paris....
