Our Top 5 Car Movies
On a recent Driving While Awesome podcast (Episode #51, available on iTunes) we discussed our top 5 car movies. Warren, Bryan and Lane each picked their top 5, then we discussed the movies that didn't make our lists.
We you look at most of the "top car movies" lists, they consist of movies like Bullitt, and LeMans...but these movies didn't make our lists. Those two movies have great car scenes and LeMans is one realy long car scene, but the movies themselves aren't all that rewarding. We picked movies that we love and influenced our love of cars. We are not saying that these are all great movies, but they are our favorite car movies of all time.
