I didn't want to add a bunch of movies to make the list too long. Plus personally I base it on the cars and driving not the acting and other things hence why I have Two Lane Blacktop on the list. My favorites though would be Vanishing Point (original), Bullitt, Smokey and the Bandit, Drive, The Driver, Gone in 60 Seconds (original), American Graffiti, The Last American Hero, Two Lane Blacktop and Christine.
I was about 5 minutes too late on buying a 58 fury back about 6 years ago.
I love anything on wheels as a kid I watched everything I had access to. I remember seeing Vanishing Point twice with my dad at the theater one Sat. I was pretty young, lol I remember being told to close my eyes a time or two. I've seen everything already listed. Here are my picks from the 70's...
