The Five Best Car-Related Film Moments

With the Oscars approaching, it’s prime film-watching season. Whether cars are the central focus of a film or only steal the show in one scene, here are our favorite car-related film moments over the years.

Fast and Furious

As an undercover cop, Los Angeles’ Brian O’Connor is sent to destroy the street-racing world. Trouble strikes when the atmosphere captivates him. Where do his allegiances really lie?

Talladega Nights

Playing a famous racecar driver, the hysterical and self-absorbed Ricky Bobby vigorously lives by his ‘trademarked’ motto: “If you ain't first, you're last.” Amidst all of the seriousness that generally accompanies auto-related films, this is a must see for anyone who needs a good laugh.

Drive 

If the enticing and artistic cinematography is not enough to enchant you, Drive will certainly satisfy everyday adrenaline junkies and stylized car devotees. Planning to watch the movie soon? You better hold on tight and prepare for the ride of your life.

Bridesmaids (‘Driving’ Scene)

Although the majority of the plot is completely non-auto related, this Bridesmaids “driving” scene is absolutely hilarious, especially because protagonist Annie’s reckless driving antics get the attention of a cop she’s trying to impress for all of the wrong reasons.

Cars

At first glance, Cars may seem like your typical cheesy, animated film, but this could not be further from the truth. Looking beyond the animated context, Cars is really a tribute to automobile history, a look at NASCAR’s roots, and an ode to Route 66. NASCAR fans are destined to fall in love with Cars!
