I didn't know there was an original. Got to look that up, see if I find it.

Yes, Hans-Ulrich, I was going to mention this one, but you were first.
"Mississipi Queen", Mountain, was the title tune.

Old time favorites:

The dirty, rusty, driverless "Super Diesel" tank truck in Spielberg's 1973 'Duel', chasing Dennis Weaver into near insanity.

'Harold and Maud', a classic:
1959 Cadillac Hearse
E-Type Jaguar, converted into a hearse
many more...

Burt Reynolds, 'Bandit'
'78 Pontiac Trans Am

Ryan O'Neal, 'The Driver'
A '72 280SE 3.5 is deconstructed in a subterrain parking garage.
Incredible stunt. I think it was gold color and had manual tranny.

I'm glad someone mentioned the caddy from ghostbusters very sexy lines on those hursts IMHO. I can't believe noone has mentioned the hot! hot! hot! old black Mercedes limo in the X-Men III movie where Xavier and Magneto pull up to Jean Grey's house together when she was a child. Who is that car!?

The Fast and the Furious was a good movie. I loved it when Vin's character says he's afraid to drive his dad's muscle car near the end of the movie.
