Requested Review: Top 10 Car Related Movies

Great movies, mainly action ones, always have to have cars involved. There have been some moments in film history involving cars. So here is my top 10 movies that have cars as an important element of the film. It may not necessarily involve chases, but just the sight of some classic motors.

If there are any in this top ten that you believe should be in there. I will check if I have seen it, if not, then I will give it a go.

10) Paper Moon - An absolute gem of a film from the 1970's. Pictured here is the Packard Standard Eight, but there is a whole host of cars that this film conjures up.

Set during the Great Depression, a con man and a little girl that may not may not be his daughter form an unlikely partnership on go on a grand journey whilst stealing cars in the process.

9) Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - This epic musical creates one of the most recognisable cars in movie history.

It's the about the adventures of an inventor, his kids and a businessman's daughter in this vintage racing car. Along the way, you notice a lot of other vintage cars, and it just a small element of this terrific family film.

8) Goldeneye - My favorite Bond film from the Pierce Brosnan era and like all Bond films, they have terrific cars involved. One scene pictured here is a clash of old and new as Bond's Aston Martin DB5 has an impromptu chase with a Ferrari F355 driven by the dangerous Xenia Onatopp. There are a few more terrific motors, and it is one of the better Bond films in my opinion.





7) The Italian Job - When you think of car movies, The Italian Job is always high up in people's lists. This heist movie set in Turin made the Mini cool and become an all-time classic. You see a lot of chase scenes and well choreographed scenes using the Mini and that alone is worth watching.

6) The Graduate - This 60's classic not only kick-started the career of Dustin Hoffman, but also features a lovely looking Alfa Spider in one the most iconic final scenes in movie history.

5) Gran Torino - Usually a film lead by Clint Eastwood, he usually dominates the screen. But his characters 1972 Gran Torino makes a valuable contribution to this moving drama.

4) Back To The Future Part II - Like the first one, there is a huge amount of cars involved, but this time, from the future.

Pictured is some of the futuristic cars used when the Delorean travels to the year 2015.

Biff Tannen's 1946 Ford Convertible also makes a re-appearance in a terrific car chase that shows what a terrific piece of machinery it is.

3) Back To The Future - One of the most popular trilogies of all-time also has a never-ending list of classic cars from different eras in time.

Pictured is a 1946 Ford Convertible driven by Biff Tannen, but that is only a small bit of the amount of great cars involved, including the famous Delorean.

2) Casino Royale - In my opinion, the best Bond movie, not just with Daniel Craig, but of all-time. As usual, there is a lot of chasing scenes with various vehicles including a world record setting Aston Martin DBS (pictured).

This classy modern car managed to make the most barrel rolls in history as it made seven complete rolls.

1) The Dark Knight - This groundbreaking re-boot of the Batman series also features probably the most dangerous Batmobile of all-time. Known as 'the Tumbler', this bad-ass vehicle looks pretty much unstoppable. But this film shows how the evil Joker manages to put a dent in it works.
