hiya ..the actor was matt lattanzi driving a mopar?anyway the 57 was a high school headmaster and raise to raise money and also the jukebox against the baddies.....also erika anderson played in it

I reckon Running on Empty
then probably Gone in 60 Seconds - original and new both are great
and as BLDNUT01 said Christine, thats a great car movie as well
And of course the Dukes, gotta love the General Lee

running on empty, are you serious, I thought that was a cringe inducing movie from the dialogue etc.. Has to be the cars and the chases/crashes in it that make it good.

Though I havnt seen it in a long time.

Have to say I saw it for the first time a few months ago. Thats a movie that could be remade sooooooo much better with a good budget and cars. Very cringy. Mad Max as got me into coupes......60 secs remake and Christine as I love that car.

Have to say Running on empty and since we are quoting bit from the movie what about " Looks like a hot one foxy" "Pull your head in you goose and check the streets" Then mad max1 and what about Two hands theres a nice looking coupe in that and a couple of other aussie muscle cars. Yeah for a yank movie gone in 60seconds was pretty good.

Yes, was a descent enough film for it's time.

Heart like a wheel
Running on empty (Aussie one)
Christine
Vanishing point
The wraith
Gone in 60 seconds
Mad Max
Return to Macon County
American Graffitti
Crazy Larry & Dirty Mary

and plenty more I can't think of.

Bullitt has been mentioned, but it wasn't a car movie, but then again neither were the Mad Max films either (strictly speaking). I'm surprised nobody mentioned 'Cars'
