Along the way, he picks up hitchhiker Lorna (Cleavon Little) and falls for her while they encounter an assortment of eccentric drivers on their way to the West Coast.

Vanishing Point is one of those movies that’s so good it seems like it was made just for you.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Kowalski is a Vietnam Veteran, stock car racer and ex-police officer who now delivers cars. He starts on his mission with no sleep, to get a supercharged Dodge Challenger R/T from Denver to San Francisco. He’s running on Benzedrine pills and speed, and he stops for no one. Meanwhile, a blind radio jockey is tracking his movements and egging him on to run from the cops who are on his tail. Vanishing Point features interesting characters and brilliant views of the pre-interstate midwest.

He drains out his tinnitus with a constant stream of music. His nemesis is his business partner Doc, played by Kevin Spacey. All Baby wants is to get out of the world of crime, but he has one last heist to pull off. Baby Driver features some breathtaking and unbelievable stunts perfectly in-sync with a rock playlist.

Two-Lane Blacktop (1971)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

“Two-Lane Blacktop” is a 1971 American road movie directed by Monte Hellman. The film stars James Taylor, Warren Oates and Laurie Bird. The film follows the cross-country race of two Dodge Chargers, one red and one blue, both heavily modified for speed.

The movie was filmed on location in various parts of the southwestern United States and Mexico. The red car was a Charger R/T 440 six-pack (meaning it had a 6-cylinder engine with two 4-barrel carburetors) with a top speed of 130 mph; the blue car was an identical model but with four 4-barrel carburetors which gave it a top speed of 140 mph.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Dennis Wilson from the Beach Boys plays the Driver, who drives a ‘55 Chevrolet 150 with his Mechanic. They drive from town to town winning drag races for cash. This is a movie about their cross-country journey in the pre-interstate era, which turns into a drag race against GTO. Watch this movie without reading the reviews. All we’ll tell you is that Two-Lane Blacktop was an inspiration for Brock Yates when he came up with the Cannonball Run. Since most of the movie is shot on Route 66, along with a trip to the Tail of the Dragon, it serves as a glimpse of a bygone era.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Movie Link: https://www.amazon.com/Two-Lane-Blacktop-James-Taylor/dp/B00R244D00

Taxi Driver (1976)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

This article is about the 1976 movie Taxi Driver. It talks about the exotic cars in the film and their significance.

One of the most iconic scenes in Taxi Driver is when Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) drives through New York City with his Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum revolver, trying to find a prostitute to kill. In this scene, Travis drives through Times Square and into Central Park, where he sees a number of exotic cars that are worth more than $100,000 today. In fact, many of these cars are now priceless because they no longer exist.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Robert De Niro plays Vietnam War veteran Travis Bickle, who is disillusioned by the corruption of humanity which he sees around him. To help his depression and insomnia, he becomes a night-shift taxi driver in New York City. Taxi Driver is about the melancholy which sits dormant in our chests until it is stirred by empathy and injustice. The movie was mired with controversy before its release, but became a roaring success afterward. No, there are no crazy car chases or heart-stopping explosions. This is one man’s attempt to realise his depression and combat it by doing what he thinks is right.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxi_Driver[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The Last American Hero (1973)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

The 1973 movie The Last American Hero is based on the true story of a man who is trying to make it in the racing world.

In the early 1970s, Bobby Allison, a Tennessee boy with a natural talent for racing, has his eye on one prize: a new Pontiac Trans Am. But when he tries to get his hands on one through legitimate means, he’s told that he’ll never be able to afford it. That’s when Bobby takes matters into his own hands and starts running moonshine up from Tennessee to Georgia in order to buy the car of his dreams.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This is the story of NASCAR legend Junior Johnson, who raced in the 1950s and ‘60s. Before he became one of the greatest drivers in the sport’s history, he was a moonshine runner in North Carolina. The Last American Hero tells you how and why Johnson went from evading cops in his Mustang on mountain roads to winning five races in the ‘55 NASCAR Grand National Series. The movie also highlights the behind-the-scenes struggle of a racer on his way up from the bottom. It portrays the lows of exploitative promoters, cheating lovers, and prohibitive racing elite, to the highs of becoming one of the most well-known celebrities south of the Mason-Dixon line.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Movie Link: https://www.amazon.com/Last-American-Hero-Jeff-Bridges/dp/B002B7CFR6
