Movie Night! Our Editorial Team's Top 10 car movies

Movies are one of the best ways to relax after a long workday. 

You can watch them from the comfort of your own home or go to a local mall or movie house. 

We here at AutoFun Philippines like to do the same, especially after we heard the news of the upcoming Gran Turismo film.

That’s why we have created a list from our writers of what we think are the best car and motorcycle-related movies that you need to watch. 

This list covers extensive genres ranging from action thrillers to comedy, horror, and much more.

In no particular order, here are our much-watch motoring-related movies with movie posters from Amazon.com

The Fast and the Furious series

It’s a series of action films focused on street racing, cars, heists, spies, and, of course, family.

Gone in 60 Seconds

A car thief is forced to steal 50 luxury cars in one night to save his brother, who has gotten into trouble with a dangerous crime lord. One of its stars is “Eleanor,” a Ford Mustang that is the last on the list of cars to take.

The Cannonball Run

This 1981 action-comedy features a cross-country car race from Connecticut to California, with many shenanigans along the way.

The Italian Job (2003)

After being left for dead in Italy, Charlie Crocker and his team plan a gold heist against their former ally. Much like 1969 original, this adaptation features three modern versions of the MINI Cooper S.

Rush

A film that follows the great rivalry and friendship of wildly opposite F1 racers – playboy James Hunt and the level-headed Niki Lauda – as they race for glory and championship titles.

Thunderbolt

A psychotic driver kidnaps the sisters of a Hong Kong mechanic (played by Jackie Chan) who bested him in an impromptu car race. Expect plenty of car and hand-to-hand combat with this movie.

Smokey and the Bandit

Truck driver Bo “Bandit” Darville (played by the late Burt Reynolds) is tasked to illegally run a tractor-trailer full of beer over state lines, in hot pursuit by the bumbling but relentless Sheriff Buford T. Justice (played by the late Jackie Gleason). 

Baby Driver

If red Subarus are your thing, this movie might be for you! After being forced to work for a crime boss, a young getaway driver finds himself in a sticky situation in a heist doomed to fail.

Speed Racer

Based on the popular animated series, the young Speed Racer aspires to be a champion in the racing world with the help of his family, friends, and trusty car, the Mach 5.

Ford vs. Ferrari

This movie follows the story of American Carroll Shelby and cocky British racing driver Ken Miles as they battle corporate interference and the laws of physics to build a race car for Ford that will defeat their rival Ferrari in the 1966  24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race.
