  • Well-known stars are all at sea in this comedy/disaster extravaganza, which seems to have begun as a joke rather than a script.

    Fastastic array of stars & cars

    If you love classic cars...then you will love this film. I first fell in love with the Lamborghini Countash after watching this film...some 15 years ago...and the bug still has not left. There is also a Ferrari 308GTB and many more. The best part of the film is the starting sequence, which lasts for about 7 minutes, and includes the finest cop & Lambo chase ever! The main film is funny and jam-packed with tongue in cheak & slapstick humor from some of the finest actors of their day: Burt Reynolds, Sammy Davies Jnr, Roger Moore...much better than the sequel!

    Steve Mcqueen's race through the streets of San Francisco, California in Bullitt has topped another poll to find the Best Car Chase Movie. The late icon's heroics at the wheel turned the 1968 film into an instant classic - and now Bullitt has beaten 1998's Ronin and the original Italian Job (1969) as the best action-packed motor movie of all time on AOL Autos new list. The top 10 also includes Cannonball Run, Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof, cult classics French Connection and Vanishing Point... Read more
