Just sayin’, Jeanie was the good guy in that movie. You know Ferris grew up to work at Enron, and then after that he was right in the middle of the 2008 collapse. That kid was 100% weasel. Couldn’t stand him, hated the movie.

I’ve always been partial to Carrie Fisher’s Grand Prix in the Blues Brothers.

I may be a JDM fanboi, but for movie magic Ive got to pick the 977 Chevrolet K-10 Cheyenne Stepside in “Red Dawn, 1984"

Rae Dawn Chong’s 1964 Sunbeam Alpine from Commando

For me, it would have to be the Wagon Queen Family Truckster from the original National Lampoon’s Vacation. That car was a central character in the movie and the physical embodiment of embarrassing, mediocre, malaise-era motoring. The fact that the filmmakers decided to take a real station wagon and push everything…

It is so frustrating that regardless of what browser I use or what method I try, lately I can never seem to upload a photo.

Violet’s 69 Buick Skylark from “9 to 5"--you know, the one with the “short in the trunk”!

There was a really cool XJ cherokee in The Goonies

1965 Lincoln Continental in The Matrix (1999)

The Bahama yellow Porsche 911 from the 1969 Robert Redford, Gene Hackman flick Downhill Racer.

“Underrated”, people. Not cars that were either already famous/popular or the focus of the money. Cars that went largely unnoticed and/or redeemed an unpopular, ugly, or bland car.

Dodge MS4 Turbo Interceptor from The Wraith

The Checker Cab! Especially the one from Escape from New York in my mind, but these things are everywhere in old movies, and an absolute icon that could be ripped apart 30 different ways and still be recognizable.

The LTD from Terminator

The 1989 Chevy Suburban dually from Twister. It looked perfect for the antagonist opposite the Dodge Ram and plus it’s such a unique conversion that’s it’s almost upsetting that it was destroyed in the movie (but not in real life).

Knives Out subtly did a good job with its car casting (although as the former owner of a clapped out Accent, the implication one struggled to do highway speeds was slightly ridiculous), but the clear best car of the movie is the 3.0CS driven by Chris Evans and his excellent sweaters.

Gattaca’s 1963 Studebaker Avanti

I must be old. Here’s mine:

The pickup truck in Groundhog Day.  A shame they drove it into the quarry...

The Mini Jason Bourne uses to escape the police in The Bourne Identity.
