Everyone is talking about the new FF movie, so let's look back at some other/older excellent but less obvious car movies.
10 - Driving Miss Daisie
If you like old American iron and stories from the deep south, this movie is for you.
9 - Gran Torino
If you like old American actors a muscle cars and guns, this action action-packed thriller is for you
8 - Ghost Busters
You like macabre stories about ghost hunting in old Cadillac hearses ? Don't miss out on this trilogy.
6 - The Big Lebowski
You like bowling, old muscle car and you enjoyed Gran Torino ? This movie won't disappoint.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
4 - Little Miss Sunshine
You like twisted stories involving rear-engined, air-cooled and nazi-engineered vans ? Don't wait, it's on Netflix
3 - Tucker : A man and his dream
If you like true story movies like Argo, you will enjoy this historical tale of conspiracy.
2 - Wayne's World
Basically, a stroy that revolves around one of the quirkiest car ever made, the AMC Pacer.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
1 - National Lampoon's Vacations
The Taurus Wagon of Christmas vacations, the Citroen from Euro vacations or the Wagon Queen from the other movies, the whole trilogy is mainly about cars. A must watch comedy for enthusiasts.

The US remake is pretty horrible. The original four French movies on the other hand are great.

Haha, Jesus, if the movie featured a car, it qualifies for this list. Great reviews, by the way.

Nice list, although I wouldn't call Gran Torino an "action-packed thriller"! It was more of an emotional dram with some suspense and humor elements. Also it has absolutely nothing in common with the Big Lebowski besides the car. I love both movies though!

Between Taxi and Ronin, the 406 has starred in a surprisingly diverse range of car chases.

the first two were great, the third was good, the fourth was barely sufferable

Don't do it, kid.
Do yourself a favor and watch the original 4 from French director Luc Besson, who incidentally also made the shitty one with Fallon in NYC

Don't forget the B-grade before-there-was-Fast-and-Furious-there-was: "Catch Me If You Can (1989)". NOT the Leonardo de Caprio film from '02. Gearhead high schooler bets fundraising money on drag races with shark, weird backstory ensues, some lame comedy lines and cheesy love story (very small part fortunately) but loaded and I mean LOADED with cool cars:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt009702…
edit - holy CRAP this thing grossed 7 million in europe! Wow! Not bad for an $800,000 budget in 1989.

So... Is FF7 supposed to be in that nonexistant number 7 spot?
