Speaking of Herbie, in the 70's, Germany made 3 Love Bug ripoffs, their car was named Dudu: Ein K�fer geht aufs Ganze (1971 aka Superbug/ The Love Bug Rally ) Ein K�fer gibt Vollgas (1972 aka Superbug, Super Agent ) Das Verr�ckteste Auto der Welt (1975 aka Superbug, the Craziest Car in the World )

the wraith with charlie sheen has some cars in it, but it is not anywhere near being the best car movie

Jake: What's this? Elwood: What? Jake: This car. This stupid car! Where's the Cadillac? [Elwood doesn't answer] Jake: The Caddy! Where's the Caddy? Elwood: The what? Jake: The Cadillac we used to have. The Bluesmobile! Elwood: I traded it. Jake: You traded the Bluesmobile for this? Elwood: No, for a microphone. Jake: A microphone? [pause] Jake: Okay I can see that. What the hell is this? Elwood: This was a bargain. I picked it up at the Mount Prospect city police auction last spring. It's an old Mount Prospect police car. They were practically giving 'em away. Jake: Well thank you, pal. The day I get outta prison, my own brother picks me up in a police car! Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. Jake: Hit it.

Best car movie? Smokey and the Bandit. No contest.
