Mo Parker

Lights, camera, ignition! For over a century, automobiles have not just been about getting from one place to another; they’ve represented freedom, status, and unbridled adventure. Cinematically, they’ve done more than just populate the background. From the rumbling roars of classic muscle cars to the elegant purr of modern sports cars, these four-wheeled wonders have become central characters, driving stories forward—quite literally. And, every so often, a film captures the essence of a car so beautifully, it has us itching for a test drive as soon as the credits roll. Ready to fuel your automotive fantasies? Buckle up, because these 14 films are about to take you on a wild ride that might just end at your local dealership!

First, there was the video game; then there was the movie. For fans of either, the supercars that are included leave one longing to swap out their current vehicle. Perhaps a Lamborghini Sesto Elemento will look good in your garage…

The James Bond movies are not only known for their action, the ladies, and cool gadgets. There are also the cars. In The World Is Not Enough, it is the BMW Z8.

The Transporter (2002)

Jason Statham sure knows how to handle his BMW 735i in this movie. Just watching the action scenes with this car is enough to make you want to upgrade.

Smokey and the Bandit (1977)

A movie about cars and beer, two things that appeal to most guys. When people saw how awesome the Pontiac Transam was in this film, they knew they needed one. 

I-Robot (2004)

This sci-fi is a visual feast with beautiful graphics and imagery. The Audi RSQ was explicitly designed for I-Robot. A car that looks incredible on the outside and the inside. Head to your local Audi dealer and see if they can make you one! 

Back To The Future (1985)

Back To The Future and its two sequels are classics. When Marty asks, “Are you telling me you made a time machine…out of a Delorean?” Doc Brown replies, “The way I see it, if you’re going to build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?” That sums it up nicely.

You Only Live Twice (1967)

Okay, here is another James Bond film on the list. That’s because the Toyota 2000GT is a classic. Yes, back in the 1960s Toyota was great at making performance cars. Watch how superb this vehicle is; you’ll want to grab one too.

Ronin (1998)

The variety of cars in the chases, such as the BMW 535i and Peugeot 605, will have you considering increasing your car collection.

American Graffiti (1973)

Chevy’s are the primary vehicles in this movie about the youth culture of the 1950s. There is a lot of cruising around and races. The only question is…can you fit a Chevy into your garage?

Spectre (2015)

What!?! Another James Bond movie on this list? Yes, and we won’t apologize. Watch it, and we dare you not to covet the Aston Martin DB10 or the Jaguar C-X75.

Batman Begins (2005)

Usually, movie props are simplistic or even CGI-generated. What makes the Batmobile in this movie so awesome is that…it’s real! Yes, they made the Batmobile Tumbler. If you want one, it will cost you at least $400,000 (for a replica).
