Rather than hijack another thread I thought I would start a new post for this one. Being a car nut like most people on here I have been collecting some of the classic cult car movies mostly from the early 70's but some from earlier and later years that pay tribute to the automoble. All of my movies are on DVD and more and more are becoming available each year. I just purchased a few more from Amazon this week. Feel free to contact me for my opinion on these. I have seen most of them several times. Most sites selling these movies have a review section to check out as well. In no particular order here is my list:
American Grafitti Cannonball Run Cannonball Run II Thunder Road Smokey and the Bandit Smokey and the Bandit 2 Smokey and the Bandit 3 The Gumball Rally Dazed and Confused The Dukes of Hazzard Grand Prix Easy Rider LeMans Cry Baby Aloha Bobby and Rose Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry The California Kid Funny Car Summer Super Speedway Driven Bullitt Christine Two Lane Blacktop Gone in 60 Seconds (N Cage) Gone in 60 Seconds (original) The Junkman ( sequel to above) Hollywood Knights Vanishing Point (original) Starsky and Hutch
If anyone has more that are not listed here on VHS or DVD I would be interested to know what is available.
Check out my roadtests link, theirs a page listing a bunch of movies dating back , wayyyyy back that are available through numerous sources online. Another good link to find the older flicks is video beat.

I always wanted to find, buy or watch again : Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry ! I only seen it in the theater when it came out in 1974 and never seen it eversince ! Where is the best place to buy it ? Pascal P.S. I was only 10yrs old then and loved that movie.

I first saw this at the drive-in as a second feature in 1979. I got my copy from Amazon.ca. I just checked the Amazon site. $8.99
Was it "Carrie" that had the red 67 Chevelle SS 396 that rolled and when it went over you could see it fold the SS hood? Also, as I recall you got a look at the TH400 pan if you played it in slow motion.

Does anyone remember the name of a movie with David Cassidy playing an undercover narc that goes back to high school driving a red Vette?
Actually it was a TV show, Man Undercover. Cassidy played a young looking cop. As you said, he went back to high school to fight crime. The show aired in the late 70's.

There was a movie came out around 91 i believe called Terror on wheels. You can find clips of it on Youtube, at least you used to be able to. It's a chase between a mini school bus and what i think is a 71-74 Charger that's been modified. Not sure if it's on DVD. Then there was also Speed Zone, which was really Cannonball Run 3 from 1989. Again not sure if it's on DVD. Last night at the local Rogers i picked up Mad Max on DVD for $5. I have DeathRace 2000 with Stallone in it...if you want to consider it in the category. It's on VHS but can copy to DVD. I still want to find a cheap...at least reasonably priced...copy of Two Lane Blacktop...or at least one to "back up" as it were...same goes for the French Connection.
moonshine highway w/ kyle maclachlan and randy quaid, 1996, the chase down the mountain was always my favorite, i put my lazy boy in the middle of the room. fire up my 2 amps which ignite the 4 cervin vegas D9's, its as if you are in the chase
lets not forget the classic 1986 cartoon Transformers the movie anyway my all time favotite it the tv movie Hot Rod and some other good ones
six pack stroker ace my science project hot rod girl heart like a wheel american graffiti more american graffiti war (the movie that killed a 69 beaumont made into a chevelle clone) mad max
How bout COBRA? Another Stallone classic....Too bad they wrecked that merc though...

It's more of a racing movie but there is one scene of a T/F Funnycar driving down the street. He stops at a redlight and two stoners in an early Challenger what to run against him.
Do I really need to tell you who won?
