"Car Movies"- not cars in movies

We've done this before, but with new movies and cars all the time, it's always fresh.

List your favorite car movies...here's some examples:

"The Passing of the Chrysler"

"Car Wars 2- The Aspire Strikes Back"

"Raiders of the Lost Dart"

"Schinder's Lynx"

"Gone with the Windstar"

I've got others, but lets hear yours. Extra Brownie points for using british cars or classic films.

Hmmm, I think that should have read "A Fistful of Dollys", but never mind.

"Hello Dolly" .........Derivative, but apt.
