I love feature films, especially terrible ones about motor racing - here is a selection of them with detailed reviews, let me know of any I've missed any I'll add them in (only ones specifically about racing though, not car ones)
|
|
LeMans (1971) - Steve McQueen walks around the pits looking a bit moody whilst wearing a nice watch. He then has a big crash but still manages to finish the race having stolen someone else's car. |
|
|
Days of Thunder (1990) - Tom Cruise plays a bloke who seems to have never driven a car before while a chap called Harry shouts at him and eats ice cream. |
|
|
Grand Prix (1966) - James Garner and some French bloke race in old cars while Eva Marie Saint watches. She looks a bit bored; she's not the only one. |
|
|
The Last American Hero (1973) - Jeff Bridges races in some really rough old NASCARs after running some moonshine for his Dad. |
|
|
Stroker Ace (1983) - Burt Reynolds says 'whatever' a lot while he drives a NASCAR dressed as a chicken. Moonshine plays a part in this film too. |
|
|
The Love Bug (1969) - An old VW Beetle beats loads of much betters cars while David Tomlinson looks on in a devilish style. Some Spitfires too. |
|
|
Winning (1969) - Paul Newman gets married and then drives a racing car. |
|
|
Driven (2001) - Oh dear. But with a strap line 'Welcome to the Human Race' what did you expect? I can't think it referred to Stallone. |
| Checkpoint (1956) - Stanley Baker signs on for a race wearing goggles so that no-one will recognise that he has taken someone's place...really...it's that bad. |
