Car film thread

[cotty]

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I am trying to find the thread where everyone posted their top car films as I have decided to expand my DVD collection.

Tried the search facility but cant remember what the thread was called.

Rendezvous is on amazon.com but its about $55 as I recall.

There was a film called Grand Theft Auto and as it was directed by and starred Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham).

How could you guys forget 'Death Race 2000' with Sylvester Stallone?

[CraigAlsop]

Just received the DVD Getaway in Stockholm 1 and 2 for £11.99. Strewth - those guys know how to drive! Over 300KPH around Stockholm - that's car porn for you

I have to admit that I do own this film but it was only £3. Not as good as I remember though.

I ordered Taxi at the weekend £4.99, Might buy Taxi 2 but have already seen it once.

Searched on Taxi so when Taxi Driver came up at £7.99 I couldent resist should be here in a couple of days. All these on DVD

This seems to be a popular topic as it comes up quite frequently. I've started adding some films into the reviews section to that end. I'll bung a load more in this week. Your views on the films would be appreciated

Ted, I can supply you and Mrs Ted with a load of films to watch from Xmas to the New Year!

I see you have added Taxi but there is Taxi 2 as well.

It's quite hard to get hold of a PAL version the original Gone in 60 Seconds, but....there is this on eBay at the moment:

Strange given the rarity, that this guy has 14 original and brand new videos...

I have Getaway in Stockholm 3, dont buy it its not worth the money. The main race through Stockholm is dull, using a dull car (compared to mental Cossies and Supras) and is only about 20 mins long)

The extras are ok though, and besides I have it on DVD and anyone is welcome to borrow it.
