Step On It!

Ask people about their favorite cars and movies, and you'll get a million different answers, right? Well, Vulture.com put together a list of the 29 best car movies. And they went about as broad as you can with the term "car movie." "Fast Five" was chosen to represent the entire "Fast and the Furious" franchise and it came in eighth place . . . right above another Paul Walker movie called "Joy Ride". The top spot went to Robert De Niro's "Taxi Driver". I'm not sure I agree with all of these, but here's their Top 10:

1. "Taxi Driver". Their case is that Robert De Niro's cab is a major part of who his character is, and the movie wouldn't work without it.

2. "The Road Warrior", which was the second movie in the "Mad Max" series. Mel Gibson drives a sweet Ford Falcon in it.

3. "Two-Lane Blacktop". It came out in 1971, and starred James Taylor and Dennis Wilson fromThe Beach Boys, who were racing a guy across the country.

4. "Repo Man". Emilio Estevez played a guy who repossessed cars.

5. "Collateral", where Tom Cruise plays a hit man, and makes Jamie Foxx take him around Los Angeles in his cab.

6. "Holy Motors". It's a foreign film that came out in 2012.

7. "Duel". It was made for TV in 1971, and Steven Spielberg directed it.

8. "Fast Five", which was the fifth "Fast and the Furious" movie. They chose that one because it's when the chase scenes got WAY over-the-top.

9. "Joy Ride". It came out in 2001, and starred Paul Walker and Steve Zahn as two guys on a road trip who get involved with a psycho trucker.

10. "Taste of Cherry" is an Iranian movie that came out in 1997. It's about a guy who drives around in his truck looking for someone to bury him after he kills himself.

I would have put the Fast And Furious franchise way higher on the list. And how about a classic: Bullitt with Steve McQueen?

Yeah it's an older film (1968), but if you love cars, and especially Ford Mustangs, it should be on the list!
