When a vehicle eclipses the flesh-and-bone actors and becomes the superstar of a film—that's when it's a great movie car. There are dozens of memorable cars in film, but to crack the top 10, a vehicle must influence a generation, inspire car culture, and become the stuff of every kid's dreams. These are our favorites, in no particular order...

Another all time favorite movie car. Drive at excessive while taking excessive speed and the Challenger becomes a Camaro as it hits the bulldozers - the message of Vanishing Point to me. Great movie.

Trans Am, what’s your pleasure? Forgot about that fine ride.

So-so movie, but I loved Sly Stone's customized 1950 Mercury in Cobra.

Now that’s funny!

Ha! I worked with a guy who knew Roth.

I loved his stuff as a kid.

Where’s the Plymouth Fury in “Christine”?

The Batmobile of the 1966 Batman movie (Mercury Futura)

The Munstermobile and the Dragula in “Munster Go Home”

If TV series could be included, Patrick McGoohan’s Lotus Super Seven would be a shoo-in

Good list overall. Too short to get some other iconic cars on there, such as Ecto1, some of the cars from the old Cannonball Run movies, and the two Belushi cars (the bluesmobile and the deathmobile). However, I am gratified to see that a true icon was included (though you had to watch the clip to see it), and that's the MFP "Black Interceptor" from Mad Max, though I am kind of partial to the twin-turbo weber-carbed "Landau" from the beginning of the Road Warrior.

It had an emergency cable release under the front end.

The only good thing from the live-action Speed Racer movie was the revised, but still authentic looking, design of the Mach 5:

Chevy circa 1933?

Just saw Chinatown. The Packard is smokin.

I thought Christine should have been on the list too. I’ve seen a Christine copy at a local repair shop from time to time, I’ve even delivered parts for her. I got pics too, I should post them.

Almost every car from the original Death Race 2000

Ya beat me to it!

Then again, the movie was spectacularly forgettable......
