I’m on the hunt for some great movies that center around cars! :red_car: Whether they showcase amazing car chases, cool automotive culture, or just have some iconic vehicles, I’d love to hear your suggestions.

Here are a few things I’m particularly interested in:

  • Genre: I’m open to any genre, but I especially enjoy action and drama.
  • Car culture: Movies that dive into car culture or racing scenes are a bonus!
  • Classics vs. Modern: I’m curious about both classic car films and newer ones.

Some movies I’ve enjoyed in the past include:

  • Fast & Furious series
  • Drive
  • Days of Thunder

What are your favorites? Any hidden gems I should check out? Let’s put together a list of must-watch car movies! :racing_car::dash:

Don’t forget about ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’! The custom-built vehicles make that film a standout. It’s showcases the extremes of car culture and innovation in a post-apocalyptic setting.

Absolutely! The cars in ‘Mad Max’ are almost characters themselves. It feels like they each have their own story!

‘Gone in 60 Seconds’ features the famous Eleanor! That Mustang is unforgettable, and the chase scenes are adrenaline-pumping. It brings car culture into the spotlight very effectively.

True, but can we talk about ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’? That Ferrari is so iconic and represents youthful rebellion!

As much as I love those mentions, I find ‘The Italian Job’ has such classic cars! The Mini Coopers are adorable and the heist aspect mixes fun and thrill quite well.

For sure! Those Minis are practical and stylish. But what about ‘Transformers’? The cars become heroes themselves!

Definitely, but some might argue that ‘Transformers’ is more about the action than the cars. Do they really have the same cultural impact as others mentioned?

‘Blade Runner’ also deserves a mention for its futuristic vehicles. The flying cars really set a tone for what we envision the future of car culture might be like!
