Car Fetish Movies

[Matt]

Grand Prix and Le Mans

especially 'Grand Prix'. I suppose that pretty much ANY car racing movie will qualify, then. 'Days of Thunder', anyone?

[Ed Hocken]

Days of Thunder? Oh yeah

[BillyG]

God, my love of cars conned me into seeing Driven with some other gearhead buddies. FUCK.

[Ed Hocken]

You must've been pissed.

[Matt]

Never saw 'Driven'. It looked terrible and apparently lived up to its looks.

[BillyG]

I was. Fucking Kip Pardue man. And if I remember correctly, that came out very close to Coyote Ugly, and I had to take this chick I wanted to plow mercilessly to see it as well. What a shit summer for movies.

Knight Rider and Magnum PI...sure not films but Car Fetish nonetheless.

[Ed Hocken]

That line of thinking could apply to Miami Vice as well.

Billy's right, 2000 was a horrible year for movies.

[Lisa]

Back to the Future. I mean - c'mon!

[Ed Hocken]

Maybe, it gave the Delorean immortality. But the movie was never about the Delorean. It was just an awesome way to time travel.

[Lisa]

Plenty of classic 50s cars in that one too, not just the Delorean.

[Matt]

I'll grant that it IS the definitive movie for any De Lorean fetishists out there.

[Captain Russ]

Cannonball Run 2.

When I was a kid, I wanted the car (red limbo) that skipped over the water.

Physics? Fuck you, get me a sandwich.

[Lisa]

I'll grant that it IS the definitive movie for any De Lorean fetishists out there.

As we all are!

[BillyG]

DeLorean fetishists, come to Houston. I will take you to DeLorean row.
