    Or girl!

    When I was a kid and into my teens, I watched every car movie there was, and I gained a lot of knowledge and understanding from those films. Then school and life interrupted my dreams, and so I got rusty vis-a-vis my old level of wonkiness. So, I decided to order some DVD's!

    Yeah, I've had all the F&F movies and Gone in 60 Seconds for a long time, but I'm talking the classics. When I got Rush, I added the following:

    1] Grand Prix

    2] Le mans

    3] 50 Years of Formula 1 On-Board

    4] Bullitt

    I'd forgotten how much I'd forgotten!

    So, I want MOAR! What are your favorite films for the Ferrari fan?

    Cheers,

    George

    This fast-paced documentary profiles Ayrton Senna, one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula One racing, and a hero in his native Brazil. Using archival footage, director Asif Kapadia examines the idealistic Senna's inspiring legend.

    Don't remind me! My wife and daughter have been rewatching that movie very chance they get. Billy Zane's character was hilarious.

    Cannonball Run had Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. in a 328 getting passed by Sinatra in a Dodge Lazer/Daytona
