Awesome intro. They don't make films like this any more!

The Driver is by far the best 'car' film, despite the cars themselves not being particularly special, the cinematic representation of speed and danger when driving at speed makes all other car films look rather poor.

No idea of the film, who cares when this the main character wink

As we are going by sound and not action, I still haven't heard one to beat C'était Un Rendez-vous. Much that I love the big Yank cross-plane V8s, Rendez-vous wins out on the manual down-shifts alone.

It is still on Vimeo, so make the most of it before it gets pulled yet again: http://vimeo.com/86448242

Surprised no-one has mentioned the Lamborghini Miura from The Italian Job yet. I cannot hear Matt Monro without imagining the wail of the V12 in the back ground.

Worst one though must be George Lazenby's Aston Martin DBS6 sqeaking tyres as it pulls away on sand in OHMSS.
