The 38 Greatest Car Movies Ever Made
"It seems like a good bet that the car movie will always be with us. Of course, a "car movie" can mean many things — from a racing flick to a road movie to, well, a film that's just set among cars in general. Regardless, let's take a step back and look at some of the best car movies over the years, and do so in an all-encompassing, inclusive way. This list of movies is quite eclectic — it includes gearhead classics, cult standbys, noirs, modern blockbusters, art-house favorites, and even some genuine obscurities. Along the way, it became clear to us that a "car movie," more than anything, is a film where a car plays a key role in the way a character interacts with the world — be it as a weapon, a tool, a dream, a setting, or a metaphor."
