Mad Max: Fury Road

A two hour car chase... and it’s barely even about max. It’s a top 5 movie ever for me.

I’m going to double down on this one. The whole depiction of the story is nonexistent without the cars, and they’re each their own character. And then when you actually look at the cars in some detail, there’s as much thought, passion and soul in each car as there was put into the cast.

MMFR is a god damned cinematic masterpiece up there with the best. I got a chance to see it in The “black and chrome” rerelease, Miller wanted it to be released in black and white. It was stunning.

Agreed. Mad Max 2 and 4 (Road Warrior and Fury Road) could not exist without the cars and epic car chase scenes.

I agree with this much.

I can't really commit to just one. Also real vague topic as what defines a "Car movie" aslo fiction v non. Ronin still one of the best chases but not a car movie. OG Transporter is fuckin legit with the Beemah and soundtrack.

Loved the new Ford v Ferrari.

Faster - but thats a bike movie/doc

Sucker for the Fast/Furious chain.

Matrix 2 Ducati chase scene + soundtrack :megusta:

Fury Road - watched 3 times. So good. But is that a car movie? :iono:

Like I said, I totally get where you're coming from... the "cars" are sort of odd though, they are just random post apocalyptic machines, its hard to relate.
Exhaust setup is golf R approved. :lol:
