Hitch-hiking (L’autostop) (1991)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

In a world where people are constantly looking for the next best thing, it is hard to be content with what you have. This is especially true in the world of cars. In the 1980s and 1990s, it was all about exotic cars. They were fast, powerful, and expensive. But by the time we got to 1991, there was a new trend in town: classic cars.

The 1991 movie Hitch Hiking is about two men who are on a quest to find their perfect classic car before they turn 30 years old. It is an interesting movie because it shows how different people can have such different priorities when it comes to buying a car.

Seducing several women along the way, he decides to pick up a pregnant hitchhiker waiting at the side of the road in the harsh Russian winter. Originally intended to be a short promotional film for the car, this ended up as a fortunate little accident and one of the best car films of all time.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Director and actor, Jafar Panahi, charges them nothing more than those fragments of their memories, for driving them to their destination. From a conservative man who supports capital punishment and a woman who supports its abolition, to a pirated video vendor who once lent him foreign films which were not available in the country and two superstitious old women who want to release their goldfishes into a holy spring, this eclectic group of people helps to paint a vivid portrait of modern-day Iran.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Tucker: The Man And His Dream (1988)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Do you remember the last time you had to sit through a gruelling hour and a half of bad cinema just because it was a movie about cars? Gearheads are often denied the simple pleasures of a good story and compelling performances. Yet, there are tales of glorious cars and legendary drivers littered throughout the history of motorsport. Following are tales of ambition, passion and tragedy, which artfully demonstrate the love of man and machine. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Detroit engineer Preston Tucker has always wanted to build cars. As World War II draws to a close, Tucker’s dream finally begins to seem possible—he hires a young designer and the financial support of a New York financier to help him build the ‘car of the future’. The ‘Tucker Torpedo’ was to feature never-seen-before safety designs, such as disc brakes, seat belts, a pop-out windshield and swivelling headlights which turned with the car. This extraordinary film caused the price of the Tucker Sedans to spike and won Tucker and his automobiles new appreciation, upon its release in 1988.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

In 1984, John Delorean was charged “not guilty” for cocaine trafficking, but by then the DMC had shut down. The 1985 Back to the Future movie couldn’t save the DMC Delorean, but it gave the car a new reputation which cemented it in our memories forever. Doc’s time machine made easy work of getting to 88mph, the precise speed at which the Delorean could leap forward or backward in time, powered by its flux capacitor.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Movie Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BTMJTN2/ref=pv_ag_gcf?cmp=rt_where_to_watch
