this film depicts the prestigious 24
hours of Lamarr a s– the world’s oldest
endurance race although it was a dud at
the box office
the Steve McQueen film has since gained
a cult following mainly for its
authenticity and in fact the film gained
this authenticity by using the actual
lamal circuit and actual footage of a
real race shot from an actual car in the
race with appearances from actual
drivers and actual race cars what kind
of race will do drive try to save the
machine go as fast as I can try to win
much of the race footage was shot from a
Ford gt40 and features a Porsche 917 as
well as a gorgeous Ferrari 512 in all of
their glory it is mine am
kid use on the baby it doesn’t hurt the
McQueen himself was a racing aficionado
who was determined to capture the most
accurate racing footage possible which
he most definitely did a lot of people
go through life doing things badly
racing is important to middle do as well
number eight Ronan you would kill
anybody hurt somebody’s feelings ones as
if the idea of Robert De Niro kicking
ass and taking names and France wasn’t
exciting enough director John

better while the film admittedly spends
most of its time on a team of ex Special
Ops trying to steal a mysterious
briefcase the car chase scenes through
nice and Paris all films live have been
noted as some of the best of all time
[Music]

overpowered Benz w116 an Audi s8 BMW
535i a Citroen XM and a variety of putos

doing what to drive a car we’re doing
more than that what drive it fast no
definitive list of conflicts can be
complete without Quentin Tarantino’s
homage to the exploitation muscle car
films popular in the 1970s combining
action horror comedy and revenge in a
way they’re only tarantino could the
film stars Kurt Russell as a
psychopathic stuntman who murders young
women through car accidents using a car
that he believes to be death Proof
remember when I said this car was death
Proof
this car is 100% death proof although
it’s not one of Tarantino’s biggest hits
the flick still lands on our list as a
worthy tribute to the Golden Age of car
cinema due to its breathtaking car
sequences jaw-dropping crashes and an
appearance by a beautiful 1970 Dodge
Challenger number six the Italian Job in
this country they drive on the wrong
side of the road

pretty drool-worthy cars we’ve set our
sights on the British original that blew
the doors off the genre you’re only
supposed to blow the bloody doors off
starring Michael Caine as the head of a
crew of criminals trying to pull off a
monumental heist in Italy the film
features some classy cars from the turn
of the decade including an orange

film is best known for its climactic car
chase scene involving a trio of stylish
Mini Coopers

beauties here are the 50 expensive cars
master thief Memphis Raines must steal
to save his brother’s life
I just felt 50 cars for you in one night

and I think I deserve a little
appreciation beginning with a 1999 Aston
Martin db7 as well as an exquisite db1

cars are dreaming to behold but none so
much as the prized Eleanor a 1967 Shelby
Mustang gt500 which received a star

all-time best

and referenced to in a sequence that has
set the standard for all car chase
scenes to come after date a car sorry
lieutenant there’s no cars loved hankies
number to rush the wise men get smoke
from his enemies than a food from his
friends arguably the finest professional
racing flake of all time this tense and
thrilling film brings to life the fierce
rivalry between Formula One drivers Niki
Lauda and James Hunt in 1976 thus far
it’s been going pretty much the way of
Niki Lauda but James Hunt is qualified
fastest here he is on pole position for
the German Grand Prix with Niki Lauda
alongside a far cry from these safer
vehicles of today drivers back then were
Daredevils there were no such thing as
roll cages aerodynamics usually worked
against you rather than for you and

original 2001 film Furious 7 perfects
the formula for the car movie it’s got
real stunts real crashes and real
driving
