and only because the Jr high I was in played it as a reward for selling magazines and I got to see it.

The best part was the gasps from staff when the boobs came out.I would say the looks on the staffs faces but I never saw that all I saw was BOOBS

I guess no one thought to preview it.

Can't believe "The Italian Job" wasn't on the very first post!

BULLIT!

Car movies that feature commies as actors (think dementia central deniro) I have placed in my 'never watch these people's movies category.

To me, Vanishing Point (the original, not any of the remakes) is #1. Bullitt is probably #2. (When I visited San Francisco, I had to gun the motor over a couple of those steep street humps - much to my wife's dismay.)

Gumball Rally (1976) hasn't been listed, and it's a great one. It was based on a real race that was going on at the time and was the inspiration for Burt Reynold's Cannonball Run (1981). Features a young Raul Julia as an Italian race car driver. He rips out the rear view mirror and says, "First rule in Italian road racing; What is behind me is not important!"

The French Connection features an amazing race through the city.

Another that hasn't been mentioned is The Wraith, with Charlie Sheen.

Rebel Without A Cause - where they're racing towards a cliff. Parts of the movie are over done, but it still holds up after all these years.

I loved Ford Vs. Ferrari. Caroll Shelby was such an amazing legend.

Transporter (I think there were a couple of these) was great.

Fast and Furious was good, but each movie in the series gets more unbelievable.

Duel with Dennis Weaver fighting a Peterbuilt is a good one.

Of course, American Graffiti and Mad Max: The Road Warrior have to be in the collection.

You did catch a few I missed!

There were three Transporter movies.

Dodge actually built that car, as a prototype. Very interesting car indeed!

Seriously?! No one has put up “The Blues Brothers”?

Set the record for most cars wrecked in a movie In 1980 at 103 cars. Record held until the sequel Blues Brothers 2000 broke it with 104 cars.
