Um… are there more than 10 to begin with? I didn’t even know there were 10! OK, well maybe I did, but I couldn’t resist tormenting you guys.
C’mon, Bruce … I managed to come up with a list of 10 without even using Smokey & the Bandit!
Smokey should be on that list though. Days of Thunder is an awesome movie. You’ve got to be pretty stupid though (Tom Cruise) if you think that there is such a tire that no other team on the track has, that will allow you to drive full throttle into the turn without sliding. He hugged that wall pretty hard in the end.
lmao. Yeah, the magic tire in that movie is second to none. I think that’s the same speech Matt Borlan used to give to Newman. You remember how hard Newman used to run that car?
I was looking for an old movie I seen as a child when I stumbled on this site.I thought mabey I’ll get a lead here.now I am mad at my self for taking the time to comment on this list of yours.only one movie from the seventies.and thats when people still loved cars.
Grand Prix (1966)
Le Mans (1971)
