Autoblog did a list of 10 movies for car enthusiasts. Containing:

Ronin

Repo Man

Gone in 60 Seconds

Two-Lane Blacktop

Cannonball Run

American Graffiti

Smokey and the Bandit

The Road Warrior

Vanishin Point

Bullitt

Wich others movies come to your mind from a enthusiast’s point of view (except from this Fart and Furious-Thing)?

I like The Bourne Identity with this little Mini as well as The Italian Job , all parts of the Mad Max -Saga, The Professional with J.-P. Belmondo in wich he hoons the crap out of some French little cars. And there is The Transporter with Jason Statham wich is all about cars. Do you remember Faster ? The Rock is out on revenge in a’70s Chevelle. And they missed out Drive with Ryan Gosling. I love the beginning sequence and the lonely night drive. What about Days of Thunder ? Or Le Mans with the inimitable Steve McQueen? Rush ? Deathproof by Tarantino! Blues Brothers !

What’s your Top Ten? A Top Five will suffice.

Some chasing

Blues Brothers !

Not including this is a major oversight. This movie had car chases on and off for probably 3/4 of the movie, and the last one into Chicago was record-setting in its day.

Death Proof is definitely one of my favorites. Kurt Russell is great and I love Novas

Fun fact about the Matrix one you sited.

Almost all the cars are GM. Even the majority of police cars are older Caprices or Impalas. I remember seeing it in the theater and thinking...hey wait a minute....

This chase has always entertained me.

Although the car part only lasts a few seconds.

Always thought the Bond movies had good chase scenes, usually involving Aston’s

It was on last weekend and my wife walks by and says “Wow this is like one giant long GM commercial.”

Mr and Mrs. Smith has a pretty good one with the minivan and the BMWs.

How to make a brilliant chase without a lot of explosions.

I can only conclude that in leaving out The French Connection, they are probably a bunch of lumpy-assed dickwhistles.

What? The Blues Brothers isn’t on the list? Fail. I would also include The Seven-Ups.

That's Bill Hickman at the wheel, who also drove the black Charger in Bullitt.

I forgot about the best car chase featuring Bill Murray:

Unfortunately I can’t find the full chase, but most of it minus some tiny bits is in this video with Russian narration.

YUP

I remember seeing it in the theater and my friends are all there happily watching along and all I can think is GM, GM, GM, GM, GM, GM, GM

I wanted to tell my friends but didn’t want to interupt the movie, i told them afterwards and they were like...what are you talking about?!

Once it came out for us to watch at home I pulled it up for them and was like SEE? They were amazed they didn’t notice it.
