Default Best cars in movies...

Ok, so I'm bored - and I saw the "worst movie ever" thread, so i thought bugger it, give us your favourite car from a movie...

Mine would be close on 3:

Eleanor from gone in sixty seconds (that car rocks)

General Lee from dukes of Hazzard

68 SS Camaro in a movie called Better off Dead starring John Cusack

Although, i'll also add the (charger??) in Blade/BladeIII... just because it was kinda cool and no-one ever thinks of it.

Agreed, the blues brothers mobile rules. It's not quite as cool as the car from Sam n Max, but that's a game.

Ecto-1 (GHostbusters) is an awesome car. ALways wanted to own it.

Then I saw an abomination. Indians driving a bloody old Nissan Pulsar or some other hunk of **** with the plate, "ECTO-1A"

The EA in the latest Superman :Reverend:

Nah, seriously Eleanor from the newer Gone in 60 Seconds, followed by the Interceptor. The Landau of Mad Max 2 was pretty cool too.

There's a few, but the '69 Dodge Charger in 'Fast & Furious', Both the Mustang & Dodge Charger in Bullitt, The Max Mobile...........AH! Ok, so there's more than a few.

Yes, Cobretti has a '50 Ford Mercury, and the original 'Vanishing point' was, I believe, a 71 Challenger........hmmmmmmm
