A content creator on IG named ‘smoothrac3r‘ assembled this interesting list of the top fifty car movies. The selections are…questionable. The list is missing the 1971 film “Vanishing Point“, Tarantino’s “Death Proof“, and Steve McQueen’s “The Getaway” but includes Hot Wheels cartoons?
All the movies we have reviewed on Fast Film Friday have links.
The post read “From pure chaos to emotional masterpieces, these movies are more than just about speed…they shaped how we saw car culture.” So, what do you think of the list?
