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.

https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g ... fury-road/

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.
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:

The creativity in the vehicles is epic, and I appreciate that. I don't believe the cars have to be production cars for a movie to be an interesting car movie.

Most of the move takes place in/around cars...if that's not a car movie, :notsure: what is.

My more serious choices would be Road Warrior, Ronin, Italian Job, the first Transporter movie, Rush, and maybe Tucker.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World is kind of a car movie so maybe that one, too, along with The Great Race.

When I was a kid I used to love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the first Herbie the Love Bug :gaydance:

Gone in 60 Seconds, definitely. Love the FF movies. Disney's Cars for sure.

Do Bond movies count?

Probably not on bond they are more about the dude but certainly always had a strong car element.

Watched it two weeks ago. Fully agreed.

Sound of the Ferraris. :hnng:

First few FnF movies were amusing but haven’t even bothered with the last few (how many are there?!) train wrecks.
