two lane blacktop - doesn't have much plot but is definetly a good old time american car culture movie. However it is not a movie everyone will like. Vanishing Point - classic movie
I see you have Steve McQueen in Bullitt. On the East Coast, The French Connection car chase scene under the El train in Brooklyn is one of the best ever. The rest of the film is excellent, as well.
You pretty much covered it all with that link...... Cool to see the Blues Brothers listed, very funny to watch all those old 70s cop cars get trashed....
it's called thunder road because the cars engine is so loud, and it's haulin white lightning so it works on a couple levels lol
