I always liked LeMans even though it was before I was even born.

Grand Prix, with James Garner

Cannot think of one I really like but Grand Prix has some great shots, plus cameos by some of the great drivers of the era.

Le Mans for me (gotta go with McQueen) with It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World coming in a close second.

Hands down winner: TWO LANE BLACKTOP starring Warren Oates, Dennis Wilson, James Taylor, 55 chevy, and a 1970 GTO.

Though not technically a racing movie, Thunder Road with Robert Mitchum is a killer flick with killer cars. Think Bullitt for the 1950s.

LeMans is the all time greatest racing movie.


I also like Breaking Away.

 

[chrysalid]

again not technically a racing movie, but the driver (1978, walter hill) is a classic. ryan o'neal is cool as ****, isabelle adjani is sexy as ****, and bruce dern sports a cool 'fro. all good.

Remember the hot rod and the blonde in Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry? (if that's the right title?)

 

[Dragon]

Days of Thunder was pretty good.

Another short film I`ve seen recently is c`est etait rendezvous shot in 1976...short, but it`s a masterpiece.
