How about "The Great Race" with Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh, Terry Thomas, Zero Mostel and others? Can anybody name the rest of the cast without Googling?


 Jack lemmon, Peter Falk, Kenan Wyinn, Gert Frobe, Eric Sykes and am pretty sure it was Natalie Wood and not Janet Leigh.

You're right.  :o You spotted my little test then?  ;D ;D

I just googled the cast here. I don't remember most of them but I used to love this film.

filmed in the 70s iirc

featured 2 nustang shelbys, after he totally demolished one (still driveable)

he drove into a car wash where he'd seen another one being freshly cleaned, and swapped it


 IIRC it was a pair of Mach 1s.

  Great film and i think once held the record for the amount of Vehicles wrecked(98) :o.

  The actor who played the part of the driver was a stunt driver and was killed a few years later doing a stunt IIRC :(.

I'm a bit of a fan of the Carry Ons - the Sid James/Ken Williams era.  Good harmless fun. Dated, but that form of slapstick remains entertaining, and far from PC :y

Favs have to be Up The Kyber, Camping, and England (a so-so film really lifted by Winsor Davies - he is excellent in the role)...

My list of great car movies starts with Gran Prix starring James Garner, LeMans starring Steve McQueen, Winning starring Paul Newman, Mad Max, The Italian Job, Gumball Rally, American Graffitti, Smokey and the Bandit, Vanishing Point, a couple of real old ones with James Cagney and Mickey Rooney, and many more whose names escape me.
