This one Two lane Blacktop is interesting.

And Smokey and the Bandit.

Seriously.

Heart Like A Wheel.

Also, check out "Victory by Design" on SpeedTV.

The show will put you off if you are looking for the stellar cinematography of Top or Fifth gear, but holy crap. The sound of the old jags and Alfa's....


It's absolutely....no words. Just watch.

 

[mugs]

Ronin.

 

[Goosemaster]

AUDI DIESEL

I second that and also recommend Grand Prix. James Garner did most of his own driving, much to the chagrin of Lloyd's of London. There is a show on Speed channel once in a while that interviews people involved and shows behind the scenes stuff. Muy Bueno!

I meant racing movies OR movies with emphasis on fast cars. There are non-racing movies with fast cars in them
