Favorite version of your car, in film?

Rules:  must be your make and model, but not necessarily year.

Must be driven, nothing in the background.

For me, Miata in Super Troopers.

I like the '67 LeMans from the opening scene of Night Of The Living Dead.

In Blazing Saddles, as the brawl spills out of the studio and into the streets, an orange, metal bumper MGB GT drives by in the foreground. Does that count? I had an orange '71 B GT.

I had a pair of Challenger convertibles.   A R/T with a 440 in it, and a 318 car that I bought as a parts car, then swapped another breathed on 440 into.

(440 swapped Challenger shown)








Then in '94, everyone kept telling me about Natural Born Killers because of the car, and the fact that Mickey and Mallory shared my last name...

No, I've never watched the movie...

Don't.  It is relentlessly terrible.

As a child of the 80s, the 944 in "Sixteen Candles" had an influence on me eventually owning a couple:

psycho boyfriend Mark Wahlberg drove a '65 Monza convertible in Fear

Pretty sure I've not seen a Rio or Forte in the movies as a hero car. 

and TIL the same car was used in The Sentinel:

Second gen Charger. But which one? I initially thought the 69 from Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, but the 68 from Bullitt was 100 times more menacing.

*edit*

I think I read the original post wrong, as in your favorite car, not favorite shot of a car you own.  Oh well

A friend used to run a red 944 in my time trial series, I would always put "Sixteeen Candles Edition" in the entry list.

Most memorable role to a Miata (other than in Racing The Rock, of course), is in Go where it was used to kill a main character and transport her body. Sorta.

A number of significant events in my misspent youth occurred in a VW very much like this one.

I couldn't find anything particularly exciting involving my car (Honda Fit), but here's a website that might make the search easier for others: https://www.imcdb.org/search.php

You can sort the results by importance, too.

I can't think of anything with a 2nd gen BRZ in it.

First gen RX-7 was used throughout the series Ultraman 80 as transport for the monster defense team.

In reply to Colin Wood :

Using this I have discovered the Intrepid is common as background fodder a lot. 

Also a movie exists called 'Porn Star Zombies' has an Intrepid in it, so thats a thing.

NWA music video?

Some horrible European movie lol

Has to be Winston Wolf's NSX from Pulp Fiction for me.  Escalades are everywhere but nowhere near as cool

That's 30 minutes away, I'll be there in 10.

*9 minutes and 37 seconds later*

For the E39 M5, that's easy. I can confirm that the car does indeed have this in it.

And then he offers Jules and Vincent a lift home...in a 2 seat sportscar.
