Given this listing I`ll take Duel. There is an old Australian
cult film called The Cars That Eat People which was directed by Peter
Weir which we would always go see late at the repetiore theatres. My
favourite car chase was in the French Connection.

Another superb car chase was To Live And Die In L A.
Duel is nothing but one gigantic car chase with an ugly truck (why did they not use Peterbilt's California Hauler) and a very average car.
In that list , I would also put Carpenter's Christine (from King's novel)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

The Cannonball Run films are pretty good. And if we are talking car chases, I'd have to go with Ronin, Bullitt, The Driver, and French Connection.
Peace.

I'll back him up on that one. They may not be the proudest moment of cinema history, but as a cultural landmark Smokey and the Bandit films are classics. Plenty of fun, and one of the most recognizable cars in films ever.
Besides Herbie, that is.

James,you need to start dumbing up!
They may be seen as classics in the good ole USA but so were Shirley Temple films and that geezer who talks with a whiny voice and is cross-eyed...

From the above list it has to be "The Italian Job". Despite the name, the ultimate Brit Flick. Why Hollywood imagined it would be a good idea to set the remake in the States (or indeed anywhere else for that matter) is beyond me. What next? I'm waiting for some American artist to repaint the Mona Lisa. Try doing something original for christ sake! Enough rehashing already!!
(sorry, America has produced a great deal of fantastic art, but for the last 5 years it's been "homage" this, and "nostalgia trip" that. Lazy lazy lazy!!!)

Has anybody else seen the advert for the new series of Doctor Who? It is going to be the worst thing ever. I feel as if its cheery cheap self has been violated with an array of special effects (and an absolutely terrible actor). Granted, I would have said it was rubbish even if it'd been average, but this is godawful (I don't know why I seem to have a fascination with cheap, naff sci-fi, but I do. Buck Rogers, anyone? Space 1999? UFO? Battlestar Galactica? )
