Top 10 Stunt Driven Movies
Determining the top 10 driving movies of all time can be subjective and depends on criteria such as the quality of car stunts, the storytelling around the driving, and the overall cinematic appeal. Here's a list based on popular opinions, classics, and some high-octane newer releases
- "Bullitt" (1968) - Known for one of the best car chase sequences ever put to film, Steve McQueen's cool character work drives this movie home.
- "The Fast and the Furious" series (2001 - ongoing) - Though not every entry in the series is about driving per se, the original film (and several of its sequels) are known for their focus on street racing culture.
- "Mad Max: Fury Road" (2015) - While it's a dystopian action movie at heart, the emphasis on vehicular mayhem earns it a spot on this list.
- "Gone in 60 Seconds" (2000) - This film, which revolves around the theft of 50 luxury cars in a single night, features several iconic car chase scenes.
- "Baby Driver" (2017) - With its incredible chase sequences and a soundtrack that works in perfect harmony with the driving, this is a standout of recent years.
- "Le Mans" (1971) - Again starring Steve McQueen, this movie is set at the annual 24 Hours of Le Mans auto race in France.
- "Ronin" (1998) - Known for its realistic car chase sequences, shot without the aid of CGI.
- "Smokey and the Bandit" (1977) - A classic road movie featuring a memorable performance from Burt Reynolds.
- "Vanishing Point" (1971) - This existential road movie about a disillusioned Vietnam War vet turned delivery driver has become a cult classic.
- "Drive" (2011) - This stylish neo-noir action-thriller stars Ryan Gosling as a Hollywood stuntman who moonlights as a getaway driver.
Newer films may have been released after 2021 that could be considered for this list. Always remember that the "best" of any art form, including film, is subjective and depends on personal taste.
