tomcats (71 barracuda)
gone in 60 seconds (remake) (hemi cuda, superbird)
gone in 60 seconds (orrigional) (3rd gen charger gets crushed by dump truck  :'( )
outcold (73 charger se)
cannon ball run 2 (70 charger)

I voted two lain black top. one of those movies that is a classic but people overlook it because of the 70's style of flim making.

DOH TV show was awesome but the big-screen movie was mediocre. 

I voted for "Vanishing Point."

   

Old Moparz

I just thought of another movie with Denzel Washington, called "Man On Fire" which was actually a very good flick. In the last 20 minutes or so, there is a few scenes with what I beilieve is a '71 Charger (Because of the side marker lights) They don't wreck the car, so that's a plus.  :2thumbs:

Good action movie with suspense.

Are we specifically voting on just the portion(s) of the movies that involve mopar footage or the movie as a whole?  I think the car chase from Bullitt is some of the best footage ever shot but I can't watch the whole movie all the way through.
68 CHARGER RT<br />06 MAGNUM RT<br />02 INTREPID SXT

Ghoste

Agreed, cuz if it's just the Mopar, I'm another Big Fish voter.

you forgot EDTV

Oh well I like that movie basically for Elizabeth Hurley :D

and there are some movies more with Chargers on it ( but not as principal )... The Mexican, 60 Seconds...

Oh there is another movie with a Charger... Man On fire.

I saw yesterday the MIII trailer... It looks to have a white 2006 "Coronet" when there is an explosion and Tom Cruise is pushed against it, on a bridge I think... I think I saw the tail end.

Charger_69

  In the movie "Hot Rod" the car was a 65 sport satelitte "not a 65 coronet",  in Dazed and confused it was a 73 duster "not a 71"  you guys forgot Phantasim (the 71 Cuda) well at least the 1st one,  also Corky with a 67/68 barracuda and daytona footage, and there is a plenty more :yesnod:

The Phantasma 'Cuda appears in all four of the "Phantasm" movies - although it gets blown up in the second one. They find a way to bring it back.

From that rather incomplete list I'd go with Tommy Boy. Only B movies? What about some good films that also had Mopars like "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner", "High Crimes", and "Vertigo?"

Dale The Bold

If we're going by sheer entertainment value of the movie, Tommy Boy.  If we're going be sheer greatness of the car, Dukes of Hazzard.  General Lee was the best actor in the movie, and had the best role, that of the one and only character that wasn't almost a complete opposite from the original.

I could be wrong on the year charger or the movie but I know there was a 2ed gen in a movie along the lines of cannonball.
It was a black one. There was a plotline to it, like some one was doing a radio brodcast from it during the race. He ended up driving it off of an unfinished overpass.
man, why cant I remember for sure what it was from....

Charger_69

 It is the ORIGINAL Cannonball movie ! with a 70T/A and a 68 Charger , then the 69 mustang later in the movie.

chargervert

There is a movie called Blue Velvet,that Dennis Hopper plays a psyco killer,and drives a 68 Charger!

I read this whole thread and this movie was never mentioned.

Martin Lawrence in Blue Streak.  In the very first seen of the movie they use a get away car dirven by none other than Dave Chappelle.  1969 Dodge Charger.   :METAL: :METAL: :METAL:
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?

I voted for Christine because it picks up on the concept of a man's love for cars and runs clear off the field with it. It's also got a nice '68 Charger in it. :yesnod:

I liked "Big Fish" a lot too, and they actually uttered the word "Charger" in refernece to the main character's car.

Tommy Boy was excellent too and I still need to see Joe Dirt.

Charger-Bodie

i like the charger in bullit but dirty mary crazy larry is a better flick
68 Charger R/t white with black v/t and red tailstripe. 440 4 speed ,black interior
68 383 auto with a/c and power windows. Now 440 4 speed jj1 gold black interior .
My Charger is a hybrid car, it burns gas and rubber............

JMF

Bullitt, Bill Hickman is possibly cooler than McQueen











BB1

Nu-ff said there, that's my vote!

There is no cooler movie with the best year and color for a Charger Period!

Yes I am bias.  :D

VP, Joe Dirt and Blade.  tough choices.  :)

There are some other movies as well:
Cheech and Chong: Up in smoke (several 3rd gen chargers)
Vampire in Brooklyn (71 charger RT)
Bad Boys 2 (Coronet super bee)

oh, and Fast Lane was a HORRIBLE movie.  I could not even sit through it for the cars!
