add more, the more obscure gems the better.

1) Manta Manta
2) Two Lane Blacktop
3) Thunder Road
4) Mad Max 2 (and 1 I suppose)
5) Vanishing Point
6) Death Proof
7) Gumball Rally
8 ) Cannonball Run
9) Gone in 60 Seconds (origonal)
10) The Driver

Good list so far,i haven't heard of some of those, Manta Manta for example.

I'd go with:
1, American Graffiti
2, The French Connection for the epic car chase.
3, Bullit
4, Smokey and The Bandit 1,2, or 3
5, Convoy has always been a favourite of mine
6, Dazed and Confused (not so much a car film but untold cool cars in it)
7, Grand Theft Auto
8, Duel
9, Super Van
10, Blues Brothers

9, Super Van

A man named Clint enters a solar-powered van called Vandora into a competition called Freakout.

This sounds awesome. Never even heard of it before.

Helldrivers!

Not many films with Sean Connery and Sid James in them!

Hi all.
Dazed and Confussed? i thought that was a Led Zeplin song
I watched an old episode of the Profesionals the other day.
Bodie and Doyle screached up to someones front door,
jumped out of the car,

ran to the door and rang the door bell.
Cheers Mark.

The Transporter? Stupid but fun nonetheless

+1 for Dazed and Confused.

Bourne Identity has a cool car chase too.

[trabitom99]

Ronin (great car chases e.g. 450 SEL 6.9)
James Bond - the spy who loved me (2CV, swimming Lotus)
Back to the Future

and

Go Trabi Go .. er no.

The Taxi films. Watching just the first one should do but if you are in the mood to endure lots of humor France-style (ie SHOUTING AND WAVING HANDS FRANTICALLY OMG!!!!1111) you could watch the three sequels as well. I've heard the American remake is a load of balls so don't bother with that.
