After the success of the superhero poll how about the best Car film (again I probably missed some but oh well).

smokey and the bandit

Ronin without a doubt. Thread can be closed now ;)

I've gone for taxi cus I love the first one. Shame its a 406 he drives though.

Thing is Ronin isn't *all* about cars, it just has unarguably the single best chase sequence ever. Which for me doen't make it the best car film ever- that has to go to Bullitt which is raw, pure driving skill the whole way through.

 

Vanishing point ok but a bit surreal, haven't seen the original Gone in 60s and the remake made me feel sick through the choppy camera work!

 

Bond falls into similar logic as Ronin- some great chases (like Your Eyes Only), but they're only bit-parts.

 

And you should add Le Mans to the list- I haven't seen it, but it's supposed to be a classic!

 

My tuppence :)

It's meant to be car or car chase film. Basically any movie that you might watch because of cars or a car chase.

Ronin was great. Watching that Citroen XM hustle made me laugh :)

Fair 'do's! :)

 

And the fact that that it's just started on telly after our victory has reminded me- the The Italian Job is another good one :bow:

cannonball run etc all good

 

but from the list Ronin all the way ;)

blues brothers?

Italian Job?? (the PROPER one not that gash remake)

blues brothers for me.

Ronin. next question!

Ooh the italian job. Can;t believe I forgot that one. And while we're on minis I like the one fromt he bourne Identity too. What a class film.

Not seen ronin, so can't really comment on that.

Looks like it's gotta be 'bullit' then.. ;)
