Who does not dream of driving a first-class car? In the fantasies of every man, cars occupy a special place. They, like women, beckon and charm, often become objects of jokes. Cinema related to automobiles is a special genre that includes indispensable components: a deserted highway or crowded city streets, masterful driving that you can only envy, speed, racing and, of course, drive. In such films, you can enjoy exclusive models of cars that you will not see in real life. In this article we recall the most vivid and spectacular films about cars.
Fast and furious
In the first place, the Forsage media franchise deservedly reigns. With the release of the first part, the creators realized that this would not be limited to this. The adventures of a police officer under the guise of Brian O'Conner each time turn into dangerous chases and catching notorious criminals. Seven full-length and two documentary “Fast and the Furious” rightfully occupy the leadership in the category “Best Movies about Cars” also because the total profit of this franchise exceeds $ 2 billion.
"Along the night roads, past someone's dreams ..."
French cinema gives the palm to its best hit, combining elements of adventure, detective, action and comedy. A taxi driver, famously dissecting the city on his Peugeot 406, is forced to cooperate with the police so as not to lose his rights. The help of an experienced taxi driver comes in handy as well as possible - together with police Emilien they stop a gang of riders robbing banks.
In the Soviet Union also knew how to drive
One of the first films of domestic cinema was the famous comedy of Eldar Ryazanov. The film “Watch Out for the Car” underwent scenario refinements, was “demoted” before the play and only after that received the green light to create a full-length picture.
The audience was pleased with the story of
Yuri Detochkin. He is represented by the modern Robin Hood, who steals cars from those who earned them dishonestly: bribery, speculation, corruption. This was the best argument for the Soviet government, who considered
that such films make viewers think. The film “Watch Out for the Car” received widespread audience recognition thanks also to the participation of eminent comedians - Innokenty Smoktunovsky, Oleg Efremov, Alexei Papanov, who made him especially colorful with their game and the opposite of the characters.
Breaking the cherished rules
Perhaps if Frank Martin had not stopped on the road to change a broken tire, the first part of the “Carrier” would have become the last. But it was not there! Former commando Frank works as a private cabman - transports cargo without asking unnecessary questions. Accidentally seeing a “product” in the face of a living girl, he calls himself a bunch of troubles ...

The 2000 action movie surpassed its predecessor. At the box office, he has raised over $ 270 million. The main role was played by Nicolas Cage.
Movies about cars include a picture released relatively recently. “Need for Speed” (Need for Speed) is a screen embodiment of the famous video game of the same name, consisting of several parts. First-class auto mechanic Toby lives participating in underground races. To save the family workshop, he expects to win in them. Having taken his colleague to the team, he finds himself in prison through his fault. And then he goes free and proves that he is the first on the track ... Need for Speed ​​- one of the expected paintings. The release received controversial reviews, but the box office success was unconditional - over $ 200 million in profit.
