My apologies..., but what is the title of this movie?
thank you.

I believe it is Dazed and Confused. Funny movie, but to me, it's not quite a "car movie" like the others.

 

[poet_x]

The Italian Job

All the *good* ones are taken, so here's some movies car lovers should NOT watch. :biggrin:

Speed Zone!
Banzi Runner
The Dream Machine
Fast Getaway
Fast Getaway II
License to Drive

 

[TURBO2GO]

I can't believe no one has mentioned Ronin. Authentic M5's and Audi S models zipping through the streets of europe... some awesome driving scenes and a damn good movie to boot.

I would add redline to that list. The cars are nice but my God that was the worst movie I have seen to date. I wanted to hang myself in the theater.

Speedzone (not released on DVD as far as I know)

I forgot about this movie. My buddy's band was on the soundtrack:

They did track 1 and while they didn't make squat for cash, they played some big spring break movie release thing that was sponsored by some big beer company and had the party of the decade. I went down to Daytona Beach, couldn't reach or find them and missed out .

Don't forget Weird Science.
