Results of This Week’s Poll: “What Was the Best Car Movie Ever?”

Category: LifeStyle

5 Comments

At the beginning of the week I asked you What was the Best Car Movie Ever Made? I gave you my criteria and 10 choices. To help move things along, I posted the same poll on a couple of the Porsche centric forums I belong to (Rennlist and PCars). The poll received a total of 94 votes and showed a very clear winner. The results are below.

Not surprisingly (this is a Porsche site after all) Le Mans won quite easily with 39 votes or 41%. Pretty much tied for a very distant 2nd and 3rd were Grand Prix and Bullitt with 11 and 10 votes respective or 12% and 11%.

I have to say that most surprising to me was the lack of votes for “The Gumball Rally”. I’m wondering if this has to do with the fact that until recently it has been very difficult to find on DVD. For those of you interested it can be purchased through Amazon for $10.99 or, I found an even better bargain that includes both the Gumball Rally and Cannonball Run II for $12.99.

The feedback from the poll was great and I appreciate all the input and suggestions of movies to add to the list. Believe it or not I received 42 recommendations for car movies not on my list. So, one of the next posts to follow will be a quick hit list of the movies everyone suggested.

    I’m shocked that Smokey didn’t run away with this. Every time I see a pic of an old Trans-Am I think of Sally Field in a wedding dress.

    Smokey didn’t stand a chance. I was actually surprised that Le Mans didn’t have a stronger showing. This being a Porsche site and all.
