After having the misfortune last night to watch Stalones Driven (simply awful in so so many ways) I was wondering what the best and worst driving films, F1 or otherwise, people have seen?
Where do you put a film like Taladega Nights and Days of Thunder…good or bad? Grand Prix is a classic and I guess Le Mans is too but I’ve always found that one a bit dull. Senna is clearly already a classic but it’s somewhat different as it’s a documentary. Could you include films like Bullet and Vanishing Point…not race films but certainly driving films. And lets not forget Speed Racer – cheesy but stylistic as hell and probably more realistic than Driven.
Sorry that was a bit of a consciousness dump…what do you all think (I’ll let my brain munge away and pop back later for a top 3, good and bad)
