....so many to chose from. Vanishing Point was pretty good. Le Mans and Le Mans ‘66 both great films. Is there a better car film?

Italian Job (original)

Bullitt?

Chitty chitty bang bang

Ronin was pretty good and the Bourne films had some great sequences.

What about dual ...where a bloke driving to work gets followed by a tanker ...that's how I seem to remember it

The Love Bug has to be up there.

Ford V Ferrari

Senna worth a watch if you follow(ed) F1. New Schumacher movie is worth a go too.

I’ll go for Bullit even though that little Beetle does appear a little to often.

Another vote for Ford V Ferrari, fantastic film.

Baby Driver

Gone in 60 Seconds

Chitty chitty bang bang

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was military slang for a permission slip that granted leave from the front or barracks to visit local brothels. There was even a bawdy WW1 song about it.

Taxi Driver - well, it's a car film.

The first few Fast and Furious films were good if you're a car fan.

Baby Driver is another good suggestion and of course Gone In 60 Seconds.

Really enjoyed the Ford Vs Ferrari film of recent times.

Bullitt - it's ok, but I haven't watched it in its entirety for years now, just doesn't appeal to me anymore.

Smokey and the Bandit is a good one
Transporter

Cannonball Run is amusing

Gumball Rally also

I forgot about The Gumball Rally (1976)
Now that's a great car film.

Another vote for Baby Driver - and I don't like car films

Gran Torino..strarring the one and only Clint Eastwood

Jeny..Jennav...Genavi.. Gennervive... Oh Sod it; Bullitt.

RUSH is pretty good. All about the battle between James Hunt and Nikki Lauda

Genevieve. Great film.

And as well as The Love Bug, the Lindsay Lohan sequel Herbie - Fully Loaded was pretty good too.

And another vote for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Though the child catcher is pretty scary, for a children's film!

Herbie Goes Bananas

Used Cars:

The Cars that Ate Paris:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071282/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

The one with Clint Eastwood. Grand Torino. Excellent film.

Blues brothers, not a car film as such but has a brilliant car chase.

No votes for Death Race?

Bullitt is not really a car film as to a film with a great car chase scene. Ronin is another for this, along with Bourne Identity and the Mini car chase.

If its a car movie, I'm going for Baby Driver or maybe even Transporter.

Le Mans 66 was a great film, I think they had to release under another name for the yanks though due to their ignorance

Goodbye Pork Pie

Christine is worth a mention, not strictly a car movie, but the main character was a car.

Not a car movie..but certainly the best car chase in a movie....

I seem to remember an excellent chase scene in ‘Ronin’ with Robert de Niro.

The original Vanishing Point.

Fast and Furious 1

Another vote for Christine

so many good car movies, all mentioned I think, as a family it seems we all like cars and a couple of fanatics, for me it would have been Bullet but many because of my age and SM staring in it. Several mentioned enjoyed as a family and good fun/laughter, Baby Driver I enjoyed but mainly for the music, I was convinced recently to go and see Ford V Ferrari, didn't want to go but have to say this would be my favorite car movie now.

Duel. Steven Spielberg first made for tv movie and your correct it’s a good un.

Duel is a must see film,Dennis Weaver aka Mcloud as the victim/hero.

Two-Lane Blacktop is a worthy contender.
