Love The Beast

[Glyn84]

This film was mentioned on here a while back so I added it to my Lovefilm list and it turned up today. Just watched it now and what a brilliant car film it was! Spent the whole time thinking about the Monaro as well and makes you think how special good unique cars really are.

Anyone got any other recommendations to watch?

Go for some classics like the original gone in 60 seconds but the one that makes me cream everytime i watch it is Vanishing Point with Barry Newman, 70's films but real petrol head stuff!!!

You've surely seen "The last ride" starring Dennis Hopper, an old GTO and a cv8 shape GTO?

'Two Lane Blacktop' (1971) - great film for true petrolheads, for a more drag racing lilt try 'Heart Like A Wheel' (early 80's).

My all time fav is Kenny Powers "The devil at your heels" Rocket Powered cars, a river jump and a man chasing a really dumb idea. "The greatest car stunt in History"

Love the beast was great, all apart from the music....as always.
I love the Mad Max bit in the garage when they start the interceptor up, and also the two Falcons side by side, a 1st and 2nd place win ...magic
Eric and family came across very well i thought.

Hope you're not being rude Richard?

Duel by Stephen King/Stephen Spielberg is a great film.

Thing is, with that film though, if you were being chased (and yes i know it wouldn't have helped...) but surely you'd nail it - he spends hours driving at 60 mph rather than 55 and expects to get a decent lead on a mahoosively powerful rig. (that knows the short cuts) End of.

Just watched love the beast and have to say it was well worth it...

umm. Hopper is cool in the film, but stressing about not being able to do 85mph all day? I'm sure he could if he tried.

I'd say Vanishing & 2 Lane black top - not showing my age obviously

........mind you I wasn't that old when I watched them. First time round at least.
