Default Old Movies!

I saw an old film I haven't seen in years and was wondering if I was the only one that can't pull himself away with watching a movie and seeing the machines in thier hay days........ I was flipping the channels and what do I catch just as the introduction was starting........ an awesome movie I use to love that I haven't seen in over a decade, possibly two, called "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry" . Man I vegitated to that movie and realized its not so much the story or the characters that intrigued me as much as it was the cars and the sound the machines gave through true dual exhaust as those 4bbl's were wide open throttle. Anyway I guess I have been on a kick lately watching other great flicks like the original "Gone in Sixty Seconds", American Grafitti", Hollywood Knights, "Mc Q", Two Lane Blacktop, and the original "Vanishing Point" and was just wondering if I was the only one that still enjoy them cult films and for the same reasons.
Cheers,
~Lou

I like some old movies once and a while.

American Graffiti is a really good movie, haven't seen vanishing point yet, but I will have to check it out.

Yeah man, thats an awesome 45 minute chase scene. Did you know the light pole falling on the Stang was an accident and that was their last Mustang left for the stunts and thought they were screwed when the stunt driver said the heck with it and jumped on the gas and finished the shoot anyway and they just went with it. He was suppose to jump off the exit ramp shooting across all three lanes when he accidently clipped that Lincoln and lost it into the light pole.

Stanley Kubrick films like "Full Metal Jacket" or even older like an awesome movie called the "Dirty Dozen"? Frankly I love them both aswell......
