A friend of mine sent me a link to this relatively weak article talking about the 50 best vehicles used in movies or tv.

http://www.thephatphree.com/fe...nID=1

Some of the choices are terrible (and one is hysterical) but it got me thinking. What are the coolest cars ever used in the entertainment industry? For the sake of this, I think it should be limited to cars that were featured, or used a lot, in the movie. I mean, there was some B Dolph Lundgren movie where he drove an F40 for like 10 seconds, but I'm not counting that. My top 6 are:

6 Acura NSX (Pulp Fiction)
5 Bullitt Mustang (Bullitt)
4 Ferrari 308 GTS (Magnum PI)
3 Eleanor - Shelby GT500 (Gone in 60 Seconds)
2 Aston Martin DB5 (Goldfinger)
1 Ferrari 250 GT California (Ferris Bueller)

5 Canyonaro!!!!!
4 The Trans Am in Smoky and the Bandit
3 The Black TransAm in Knight Rider
2 Delorean in "Back to the Future"


01 The General Lee. All lists stop there.

When this movie came out, this car made a big impression on me. Of course I was twelve at the time...

No problem!

The NSX was what The Wolf drove. Made a very short appearance, but at least it was pretty pimp. What was the quote?? "I am 25 minutes away, I'll be there in 10"

Here's a few:

The Wraith is up there.

I know, lame, but Eleanor was always a favorite of mine.

There's also the local doctor who has a turbo Fox-body Mustang on slicks and skinnies doing a burnout at the end of his commercials for his private practice.

The General Lee had it's moments, but come on. You can't compare that to the James Bond DB5!

ding-ding-ding - we have a winner. And the actor of the quote was, you surely guessed it, Matthew McConehey. I love that damn movie (Dazed and Confused)
Affleck also drove a nice primer grey Nova in that movie...

I thought about listing that one, just because they are SO rare, but you really hardly see it in the movie. VERY cool though.

Hannibal Twin 8 from the movie "The Great Race"

TV: Knight Rider
Movie: Blues Bothers Mobile

Of course I'm referring to the originals of each.

Everyone always talks about the Mustang in Bullit, I much prefer the Charger!



Though my favorite is the Hardcastle & McCormick Coyote (how's that for obscure!)
