Hollywood and modern automotives were born around the same time, meaning we’ve been obsessed with both of them for a century. Yet for every hundred movies that use cars as set dressing, there’s one that actually incorporates the car into the story, turning it into an actual character in the film. Sometimes it’s in a chase scene that becomes so iconic it would be unimaginable to see any other car in the frame; other times it’s a comedy built on a specific make and model. These movies are pure escapism for viewers, who never have to worry about, say, outrunning the highway patrol or paying for premiums after wrecking a luxury coupe. If you find yourself getting the urge to re-enact some of these scenes, don’t. Just pop on the next DVD.
