Total Recall: 50 Most Memorable Movie Cars
« on: May 13, 2008 - 12:30:29 AM »
Speed Racer will be coming out this week and to highlight this moment Rotten Tomatoes guy Matt Atchity put together a 50 Most Memorable Movie Cars list...it is spread out thru 11 pages which is kind of annoying but interesting all the same to go through and be reminded of some cars you forgot about

Kowalski's white Challenger from Vanishing Point came in at #43

There's also some honorable mentions....some which I think should have been in the list

In my mind, Kowalski's Challenger is about 20 places too low.  Below the Buick from "Rain Man", fer chrissakes! 

But maybe I'm biased.  :rofl:

I agree with the Delorean being number 1.  I love that car.

Very good list!  :thumbsup:

At least the 1994 Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan wasn't higher than 50!  :faint:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Woah!  :o  Blast from the past!  I remember that movie!  It was on HBO back then every other day!  I don't remember the Challenge in that movie though.  :dunno:  My memory is going...  :bricks1:

Nice projects on your site!  You have a thing for yellow Fords, eh?  They're coming out with a new Terlingua Mustang so I've heard.  I have a thing for Shelby Cobras too!  :thumbsup:
