What, No Gone in 60 Seconds Movie as a Option????????????? Survey must be deemed null & void, Incomplete & inaccurate without this option in my opinion. LEON.

The best movie was Christine. But the best scene with a Charger in it was by far and away the chase scene in Bullitt.

nobody's mentioned "fast and the furious" i wonder why... possibly the stupiest thing was that wheelie AND smoking the tires at the same time...can you say lame?

I remember going to the drive in back in the '70's driving my '69 Charger RT to see Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry.  For many years I tried to find that movie to show my boys.  Now for pure humor I enjoy Joe Dirt!

If you have no vision or creative spirit, you can always fall back on the way the factory did it.

Mean 318

Its a toss up... Christine, Tommy Boy, Dirty Marry, or Bullitt... but I will have to go with Christine! ;D

you forgot cars, the best animated film ever, a great story, and a lot of known cars,

and a mopar, the king's superbird :yesnod:

There was a Stallone move, I believe it was called 'Lockdown'? and he drove a beautiful 70 Coronet RT, black on black pistol grip.

favorite Movie WITH a Mopar. EASY the original Vanishing Point!

Favorite Movie Mopar- that BAD Citron Yella Charger in Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. COOLEST Movie car of ALL TIME!

Lostsheep

Gotta go Dukes....The Charger gets the most camera time.

The Original GONE IN 60 SECONDS from 1974 is the all time #1 Mopar Movie ever. I seen it at Drive in  in 1974, Seen Vanishing Point & Crazy Mary Dirty Larry at Drive in in 1970s also. All 3 great movies. LEON.

   I remember a movie back from around 1988 that I used to love...it was called "The Gladiator". A really cheesy plot, but there were tons of scenes with a cool 68 or 69 Charger - can't remember - black with black tinted windows. A really good movie for Charger footage.
68 Charger - 440 Auto/ 4.11 Sure Grip

That was a made for TV movie in 1986.  Here's some interesting trivia on the chargers used

The five 1969 Dodge Chargers used in this film were actual "General Lee"s from "The Dukes of Hazzard" (1979), sold by Warner Bros to this production. Out the five, two survived in the hands of stunt driver George E. Sack jr. They are now being restored for Dukes Stunt Coordinator Gary Baxley by Smith Bros. Restorations.

During the restoration, 'John Schneider' donated the engine from his General Lee. It was the last General made for the Dukes of Hazzard reunion movie.

Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

jamie1974



   Wow! Thats really interesting! Yeah, that is the one I'm talking about, the made for T.V. flick. I actually found a DVD copy on Amazon for $4.00 so I picked up a copy:

  yeah no problem, Mike! Hey where did you get that info on the Generals being used in the film? Got a link?  ???

  I'm looking forward to getting my copy now...it'll be a real blast from the past. I used to watch that movie all the time.  :2thumbs:

  I hope you'll enjoy those other 2 movies. Crazy Larry - I got that one a few months ago. A lot of Charger coverage there. Bullitt has a good chase scene, but most of the movie is a police show.

Oh yeah, one more movie with a Charger in it and one of my favorite Adam Sandler movies of all time..     The Wedding Singer.  A 1970 Charger in one scene for all of 2 seconds right after his wedding ends in disaster and Glen comes with the Las Vegas tickets to set the date for Julia Gulia to marry him.  (about 1/3 in the movie) :yesnod:
