Gone in 60 Seconds
The Nick Cage rendition of Gone in 60 Seconds. The film generally appears to have gone via an insane transition of being weirdly cringe not lengthy after it got here out, to the being satirically cool within the 2010’s, and now’s at some extent the place it is not ironic anymore; It simply genuinely rocks. I at all times end it at any time when its on.

Grand Prix
I’ve at all times appreciated Grand Prix. A more moderen film I discovered pleasant was Race for Glory: Audi vs Lancia. It’s most likely extra targeted on the precise vehicles than another “automobile” film I’ve seen not too long ago and but is an entertaining story.

John Wick
I might go together with Rush (2013), or Ford v. Ferrari (2019). Each movies had a character-driven (pun meant?) perspective of racing.
However the John Wick motion pictures had prettier vehicles, let’s be sincere.

Automobiles
This sounds foolish, however…Automobiles. I do know it is a “youngsters’ movie” nevertheless it’s bought so many driving and motorsport references within the script and visuals, it options so many voice cameos (some tailor-made to totally different markets), and a fairly strong story to match. It is bought the lot…

Nationwide Lampoon’s Trip
Out of the field considering, however I will say Nationwide Lampoon’s Trip. The Griswald’s Wagon Queen Household Truckster was as a lot of a personality within the film because the Griswalds themselves. That 1979 Ford LTD Nation Squire was the plucky automobile that took everybody on a quest to Wally World (albeit concerned in a pair sordid eventualities however nonetheless).
