Just been watching James May in his cars of the people.

Prompted a bit of youtubing.


Is there a better start to a film, ever, than this? Gives me the full goosebumps.

Probably not critically great, but those roads, that car, that noise, the "sticking it to the man". I am suddenly 12 again. Good stuff. Makes me happy.

always hated that for the stupid front wing.

I quite enjoy the opening of Layer Cake, especially the Audi RS6 and She Sells Sanctuary combination.

Transformers The Movie. The 1984 animated one. Just love it.

Sorry, yes it wasn't very clear that I meant the French film Untouchable.

No chance.

For me it would have to be ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST.

Arguably that starting scene goes on for 2 or 3 scenes.

Good that.

I loved it when I was 12 as it was very hard to see Countachs anywhere.

Now? utterly st film and ruined the Countach with that stoopid front spoiler - sorry

I always assumed that the wing was a US market mandated bumper at a set height - like the MGB's had to suffer. Only a assumption and prepared to be wrong.

Looks a bit odd, granted. But love retained because of the gear changes: Slow, grouchy, done just right -aurally very exciting!

Christ I'm sad.

Would like to agree with the Blues Bros suggestion as well.

"...one used."

I think I could've forgiven this film for being totally ste just for having this intro (luckily it's an awesome film!):

Dazed And Confused

TBH it's probably not all that great but the opening shot of the car in the parking lot with one of Aerosmith's finest songs playing....



I bet no-one else has even seen it.

The Deer Hunter, where Robert De Niro drives out from the Mill and races the truck against the wall.

[rambo19]

Lord of war.
