What's the best Car Movie?

We're not talking acting here, we're talking cars.

Bullitt
Gone in 60 seconds
Cannon Ball Run

You can add the Italian Job to that list. The original one, though, not the remake.

3x Mini Cooper
2x Jag E-Type
1x Aston DB4 Volante

Transporter 2 was terrible. All the crappy computer graphics at the end like the airplane, and the rediculous jump with the crane hook ruined it for me.

Here are my submissions:

Transformers
Cars
Driven

And don't forget the Lamborghini Miura they destroy with a bulldozer in the opening scene!! BTW, whats wrong with the remake? I liked it! It was well written, everyone played a good role (I'm a BIG Jason Stathem fan)and Charlize Theron was just !!!

Hey bud, You got 2 of my fav in your top 4. The Wraith with Charlie Sheen was very cool for its time, and the car was SICK!!!

And I LOVE Gumball Rally!! Such a funny movie!! Franco's line while sitting in the Daytona Spyder before he starts was hysterical!!!

He rips the rearview mirror off, throws it over his shoulder out of the car and says "whats behind us is NOT IMPORTANT!!!!

I also LOVE Duel. Speilberg's 1st movie!! That oil truck is just eerie!!!

Okay, since I haven't put my own movie on the list, in my last 2 replies, I got one to add:

LeMans!!!! Steve McQueen as Michael Delaney, and doing most of the driving!! The scenes in that movie, filmed AT Circuit De La Sarth (LeMans) (just after the real 24 hour race was over) using REAL Porsche 917 race cars and they even had a few GT40s converted into camera cars!! If you haven't seen this movie, GO BUY IT!!! This movie shows the world what kind of car nut Steve McQueen was!!!! May, I wish he didn't die so young!!

1. Gone in 60 Seconds
2. Bullitt

I will throw in the third fast and furious only because they have a classic mustang at the end (except they ruined it by using an 'import' powertrain )
