John Frankenheimer claims two spots on this list, starting with this operatic story set against the backdrop of Formula 1 racing and featuring some of the most intimate and unique racing footage audience had seen until then. Building on the premise of an all-star, international cast a la war films or other dramas from the era, Frankenheimer assembl...
Playing San Francisco detective Frank Bullitt, Steve McQueen not only certified his own legendary status as a gearhead but set the template for cool, capable drivers for generations to come. Director Peter Yates’ juxtaposition of spartan dialogue and complex plotting keep audiences guessing as Bullitt attempts to protect a mob informant, while McQu...
Not to be confused with the occasionally engaging 2003 remake which inventively figured out a way to circumnavigate traffic around Los Angeles, Peter Collinson’s original utilizes the same car (itself rebooted 30+ years later) to stage a thrilling heist at the height of the “caper” era when every star in the world wanted to command his own crew for...
As Steven Spielberg’s first feature-length film, this story about a driver (Dennis Weaver) unrelentingly pursued by a tank truck across the Mojave Desert sometimes feels like a training course for a future virtuoso mastering the tools of his medium. But there are good reasons that Universal Pictures expanded what was meant to be a television movie ...
That this film and Vanishing Point arrived in the same year was a godsend for gearheads and moviegoers everywhere, even if neither film made much of an impression at the time at the box office. Both languished on the margins of the release schedule only to much later earn the accolades they deserved. Starring musicians James Taylor and Dennis Wilso...
Even if Richard C. Sarafian’s 1971 film was “merely” the inspiration for the car whose hood Zoe Bell rides in Death Proof, it would merit inclusion in our list. But alongside Two-Lane Blacktop and The Driver, Sarafian’s film burnishes the zen-driver myth and then some with its story of a disaffected ex-cop delivering a white 1970 Dodge Challenger a...
It’s amazing how many risks stunt drivers took in the 1970s, in films that seemed to spend more money on destruction than on a script. John Hough’s 1974 adaptation of the 1963 novel "The Chase" features more action in its trailer than some of the movies on this list do in their entire run time. Transitioning from motorcycles to muscle cars--another...
Quentin Tarantino drew more than vaguely upon the relationship between Burt Reynolds and stuntman-turned-filmmaker Hal Needham when crafting the central Rick Dalton-Cliff Booth dynamic in Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, but never got to this stage in their career: 1970s box office champ Reynolds plays a bootlegger distracting the fuzz from his tr...
It should come as no surprise that writer-director Walter Hill envisioned Steve McQueen for the lead role in his second film, a story about a stoic getaway driver outsmarting not only the authorities but his double-crossing accomplices. But even if McQueen deemed it too similar to his previous work, Ryan O’Neal makes an outstanding replacement in t...
Fresh off of the vehicular mayhem that ended National Lampoon’s Animal House, director John Landis re-teamed with star John Belushi for an “adaptation” of the recurring musical sketch from Saturday Night Live featuring Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, sending the duo on a cross-country trek to reunite their old band, and redeem their past misdeeds. The fil...
