Death Race 2000!!!! Just kidding, but it was so over the top that it was quite funny! Gone in 60 Seconds was the bomb! I also like Gumball Rally and wanted to race the Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Dash, until my job kind of precluded that...

Roger Corman produced some quite interesting movies.

I found most of the driving/racing movies last night. They include:
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974)
Drive (2011)
Grand Prix (1966)
Hell Drivers (1957)
Le Mans (1971)
The California Kid (1974)
The Fast And Furious 1-5
The Getaway (1972)
The Hell's Angles (1969)
The World's Fastest Indian
Two-Lane Blacktop (1971)
Vanishing Point (1971, 1971 UK version and 1997)

Still looking for the rest.

worlds fastest indian is a good movie....

California Kid sounds very familiar but i don't see the dvd on my shelf..I'll have to look it up on imdb.
Some of my flicks I have in different genre's. maybe it's in a different spot. Last count I had 600+ I am an addict..

Herbie, the Love Bug ???

Scene in the Blues Brothers where they are doing 120 down under the elevated,440 just honkin',makes me grin.

Yes, I have the Love bug, Even have the Lindsay Lohan version....I wasn't going to admit it......

I also have Driven and Days of Thunder. I saw Days of Thunder in a real theater with the super duper surround sound. Sat in the middle of the theater. I must say seeing a 12 foot tall Nascar is quite a sight. That was probably the second best movie I ever saw in a theater.
Best was "Night of the Living Dead' when it originally opened. A very small local theater. Absolutely packed. I was 7 or 8 years old..Not supposed to be in the theater for that flick. Dad worked with the owners.. Super nice people..

The scene in MIB 1 ....push the red button....then insert CCR 8 track while upside down in the tunnel.

Yes, the World's Fastest Indian is a great movie.
It has been awhile since I watched The California Kid, but if memory serves, it has "Sweet Baby' James Taylor as one of the stars. Driver of the '55 Chevy?

This is the new homepage of the two lane blacktop car. The guy in the movie at the gas station with the flintstone flyer t-shirt owns one of the two cars in the movie now. Story of how he found it and restored it. Great pictures there. The other car used in the movie went to to be redone and was Bob Falfa's black 55 Chevy in American Graffiti. Now you know why they never opened the hood on that car in the movie.
