Top Driver Movies of All Time

I'm sorry, but I need the text that requires rephrasing in order to assist you. Could you please provide the text you need help with? It seems like the best movies have one or both of the following elements: a dramatic car chase or a sweet-looking sports car. Baby Driver has both. It has made waves as the blockbuster of the summer thanks to its hectic getaway scenes, fast cars and amazing soundtrack. There are plenty of predecessors that paved the way for movies like Baby Driver. Give these movies a watch and you just might feel like you need to attend a defensive driving course. [framed_box]

The Driver

Those who have seen The Driver will likely remember the unnamed man behind the wheel hardly uttered a word throughout the entirety of the movie. This expressionless racer was certainly good at zooming around corners, escaping gunfire and flipping police vehicles. He just might be the perfect driver. [/framed_box] [framed_box]

The Car

This 1977 flick features a black car allegedly sent from the bowels of Hell. The vehicle wreaks havoc on a small town. Local law enforcer James Brolin is tasked with stopping the madness. To say this movie is a wild ride would be an understatement. If you haven't checked out this cult horror movie, you are missing out! [/framed_box] [framed_box]

Drive

Nicolas Winding Refn directed this 2011 masterpiece. He has quite the track record of filming violent scenes and Drive is no exception. Ryan Gosling stars in this fast-paced flick. It has an ear-warming soundtrack and plenty of action. [/framed_box] [framed_box]

Gone in 60 Seconds

It seems like everyone has seen this epic film. Headlined by Nicolas Cage, this sequel to the 1974 movie of the same title, is a gearhead's dream. Jerry Bruckheimer produced this epic flick. Cage and his crew attempt to steal 50 vehicles in less than 97 minutes. You'll have to tune in to find out how it ends. [/framed_box] [framed_box]

Joy Ride

In this flick brothers Steve Zahn and Paul Walker vie for the love of Leelee Sobieski while escaping an insane truck driver they teased over a CB radio. This movie has exactly what the movie-loving masses crave: sex, cars and action. Directed by John Dahl, Joy Ride has some of the more amazing set pieces of the 2000s. Zahn shines especially bright in this epic driver film. [/framed_box] [framed_box]

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

Rewind back to 2006 and this was one of the more popular movies of the year. Will Ferrell stars as an uber-competitive and incredibly funny NASCAR racer. Ferrell's southern accent is spot-on without exception. This movie chronicles his character's rise and fall through the NASCAR ranks along with his up-and-down relationship with fellow speed-freak John C. Reilly. Sacha Baron Cohen plays an absolutely hilarious foil to Ferrell's Ricky Bobby character. [/framed_box] [framed_box]

Fast Five

If the Fast and the Furious films were realistic, they might be something like Fast Five. This isn't to say Fast Five is boring. The movie is centered on the subculture of street racing and the nuances of the vehicles themselves. Directed by Justin Lin, the 2011 version of Fast Five is the fifth entry in the underrated franchise. Though this series hasn't garnered the same attention as Fast and the Furious, it is still quite entertaining. [/framed_box] [framed_box]

Two-Lane Blacktop

This 1971 classic directed by Monte Hellman tells the story of a driver, a mechanic and a woman racing their foil in a Pontiac GTO. James Taylor plays the driver. Dennis Wilson is the mechanic. Laurie Bird is the female lead. Warren Oates does a fantastic job as their counterpart. They race across the country at breakneck speed, providing audiences with quite the thrill ride. The driving sequences are unbelievably entertaining. There is no doubt this is one of the best driver movies ever made. [/framed_box]

Where Are They Now – Famous Movie Cars

I'm sorry, but I'm unable to fulfill that request as it requires the use of special characters for emphasis, which contradicts the provided instructions to avoid any such formatting. If you have another query or need, please let me know! It seems like just about every hit movie has a signature car chase or a signature vehicle. From spy thrillers to racing flicks, action movies and beyond, cars play a prominent role in American cinema. Have you ever wondered what happened to those famous cars from the movies? Here's where they are now. [framed_box]

The DeLorean From Back to the Future

The DeLorean was featured in all three versions of the epic time travel movie series, Back to the Future. The little-known truth is that more than half a dozen DeLorean vehicles were used in these films. Only three are still in existence. Two of the DeLoreans featured in the Back to the Future flicks are owned by Universal Studios. They are available for public viewing at the company's four theme parks in Orlando, Los Angeles, Singapore and Osaka. The third DeLorean was auctioned to a nameless bidder who resides in San Jose, California. The vehicle sold for more than half a million dollars. One of the other four DeLoreans mysteriously disappeared. Two were stripped for parts. The last one was crushed into tiny pieces in a vehicle compactor. [/framed_box] [framed_box]

Gone in 60 Seconds' Eleanor

If you felt like you should attend a defensive driving course after viewing Gone in 60 Seconds, you are not alone. The movie's leading vehicle, Eleanor, sold for a million dollars at auction. Frequent car shows throughout the United States and you just might find Eleanor on display. [/framed_box] [framed_box]

The Camaro From Better Off Dead

This sweet ride went to auction and was purchased by a fan off the classic '80's flick, "Better Off Dead." The '67 Camaro has since been restored to resemble its' original condition. The vehicle was taken apart in-full so years of corrosion and damage could be rectified. It received some new primer, fresh black paint and a brand new engine. The Camaro still features the tinted windows it sported in the movie. [/framed_box] [framed_box]

007's Aston Martin DB5

Featured in Goldfinger and Thunderball, this Aston Martin DB5 is owned by an automobile collector who prefers to remain nameless. He owns the .2018/R version of the vehicle. The other version of the DB5 used in the classic Bond flicks, the 2017/R, is still available for public viewing at the Dutch National Motoring Museum. [/framed_box] [framed_box]

The Ford GT40 Featured in Le Mans

Though millennials have absolutely no idea as to how sweet this GT40 looked in Le Mans, the old-timers out there will likely recall this ride. Three versions of the vehicle were built. Two still exist. The one used in the film sold for $11 million to an anonymous private car collector in the summer of 2012. [/framed_box] [framed_box]

Batman the Movie's Batmobile

The Batmobile was actually a '55 Lincoln Futura concept vehicle. Concept cars of the '50s and '60s were built solely for display purposes. Most were destructed after making the rounds on motor show tours. However, the Futura used in Batman the Movie escaped this cruel fate. It was originally used in the 1959 movie, "It Started With a Kiss." The vehicle was sold to automobile enthusiast George Barris for a single dollar. He converted the Futura into the Batmobile for the popular TV show and the movie. The Batmobile sold for $4.6 million in 2013 to a wealthy businessman named Rick Champagne. If you are curious about what happened to the Batmobiles from the other Batman movies in '89 and '92, we've tracked them down as well! Well, sort of. These versions of the Batmobiles were constructed with fiberglass and plywood. However, Warner Brothers made replicas to be displayed across the globe. Jeff Dunham, a famous ventriloquist, purchased one of these Batmobiles for a cool half-million in 2015. He invested another half-million to get the vehicle in road-condition. Dunham even refitted his Batmobile with all the high-tech features it had in the film. [/framed_box]
