Well strictly a detective movie, but the best car chase scene ever , and i mean ever! is the one from Steve McQueen's 1968 hit 'Bullit'.

Two gorgeous cars - McQueen is a 1968 Ford Mustang GT and the baddies in the 1968 Dodge Charger.

The buildup, the scene setting, the way the baddie tucks in their seatbelt when s**t is about to go down...it's just so perfect and so epic!

No CGI.. at all, and of course that famous easter egg where the charger slams into one of the cars that are parked in one shot and in the next frame the dent mysteriously vanishes...just unforgettable.

For sheer drama and your viewing pleasure....here it is ->

A movie worth watching again :thumbs up. Saw Flash Of Genius yesterday and absolutely loved it. Giving it a solid 4 / 5 star rating. Movie is the true story of Bob Kearns who originally invented the intermittent wiper, how he was manipulated by Ford and the idea stolen from him. Unfortunately, his life was mostly downhill after that as he spent way too much effort in fighting Ford.

Recommended to all car guys :thumbs up

Not really car movies but more like road trip movies which can be classified under action/thriller. These two are my favourite from the 90's

1) Black Dog -Patrik Swayze has to deliver goods via a Semi truck which goons try to hijack/take over.

2)BreakDown - Kurt Russel's car breakdowns on the road in the middle of nowhere and his wife gets kidnapped. This is available on Youtube as of now for free. Just watched it again yesterday.

Albert Broccoli produced movies based on James Bond, a character created by Ian Fleming.

Ian Fleming also wrote a children’s novel about a flying car; and Albert Broccoli made that too into a movie.

That novel (and the resulting movie) is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, after the engine sounds made by said flying car.

And, did you know that one of the screenplay writers for this was Roald Dahl, the same man who wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (a.k.a. Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory)

I watched this movie in the theaters when it was first released in 1968 and I love it even today,

There’s the theme song in this movie, and I think the lyrics perfectly encapsulate our emotions as members and enthusiasts.
