Great Auto Video

[Ferrari Spider]

Looking for suggestions for a DVD to be put together for next years LM and shown on DfH camp video system.  Sooner if I can get all the tracks together.

Doesn't have to be racing related but needs to be good quality as the screen is very large.

Thoughts so far:-

Rendezvous, Bullit, Great Escape, Thomas Crown Affair, Le Mans, Grand Prix, Gone in 60 secs, Fast and Furious.

Any other suggestions gratefully received and if you have the footage and can lend it to me or send a copy that would be great.

I enjoyed the Audi series from the telly last year, but it is much better for foreplay (i.e. to warm you up prior to the main event) than it would be once on site.

Cracking idea though...

[Nobby Diesel]

Surely some mistake here!

How can the phrase"great auto video" and "the Fast and the Furious" appear in the same subject?

How about "Confessions of a Driving Instructor"

[Nordic]

May I suggest.

Le Ronde Infernal, the sometimes tragic story of the 69 (I think) Le Mans race.

or

The story of the 50's D type's win (it came free with MotorSport a few years back) featuring Hawthorn (again I think) passing a french cyclist at trete rouge while doing a demo lap before the race, priceless.

[Steve Pyro]

I hope you are referring to the original Thomas Crown Affair.

How about some good old car chase movies - Duel, Vanishing Point, Blues Brothers, Ronin.
Or some classics like Animal House (everyone knows the words),

Nordic, no probs in including this video as a film to watch, what i'm looking for is clips rather than the whole film.

Smokie, glad you like the idea,  the open air cinema was just excellent this year, although we did upset some of the campers, shame, can't imagine they will be near us next year

Just want to increase the choice through the week, obviously some will on repeat like the italian job, but some of the old keystone cops etc B & W would also work well, particularly as this silent movies!!!

[Bob U]

Murrey Walkers F1 heroes.
Yes it is F1, but the clips are mostly from the era of Prost, Villeneuve, Hunt, Senna etc so some good footage of what F1 was like when it was interesting

Mr Brown, the remake, like all remakes is just too awful to watch, bought a copy in bali a few years ago for 50p and it is a complete waste of money.

Queeny and Faye are just fantastic and the way the film has been cut together produces a really taught sexually charged atmosphere, the ride through the dunes with and without Faye in the VW buggy are just great.

I like your other suggestions, could be into a series of DVD's, produced through Blue World Diving.

[Snoring Rhino]

American Graffiti should be there as some light relief, very nostalgic.

Any particular bit you would like to see as a clip, maybe when the police car has its rear axle pulled off?

[Snoring Rhino]

That would be most excellent  or of course the 55 chevy and Duce coupe race

[Steve Pyro]

There's some good racing between a stripped out 55 Chevy (James Taylor driving) and a 68 Pontiac GTO (amongst others) in 'Two Lane Blacktop'.
The plots a bit thin though.

Or more drag racing in the biopic of Shirley Muldowney (first NHRA women top fuel dragster 'world' champion) called 'Heart Like A Wheel'.

I've been racking my brains for the name of that film since we got back from the Don Garlits museum in florida.... Thanks

Do you know if it covers beyond her horrific accident? As i do believe she made an almighty come back not so long ago???

Cha-Cha (The Chi-town Hustler) made a full recovery from her massive Quebec shunt.  I think she's pretty much living the old geezer, retired life these days (having retired a couple of years ago) but still shows up at NHRA meetings from time to time just to let the BOYS know how it should be done.  She could still probably blow the doors off most of these guys today.  I think Heart Like a Wheel was made in the early eighties well before the Sanair accident.
