What are the coolest movie cars?
In another thread I mentioned the hearse Jag from Harold & Maude, and of course anything James Bond drives is automatically cool.

5. The Blues Mobile...
It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?

22. You swapped the Bluesmobile for THIS hunk of shit?
No, a microphone.

A microphone?? OK, I can see that. So what's this?

This is a bargain! I got it at the Mount Prospect police auction. They were almost giving them away!

8. Beat me to it. I've wanted a new Mini ever since I saw that movie.
A little too pricey for me right now however.

23. Blah
I refuse to see any remake of The Italian Job. Some things just shouldn't be touched.

19. Feh!
I had one of those. Went back in time to make sure my father fucked my mother, but I accidentally killed my mom when I opened those wing-doors and then I had to fuck my own dad and now I'm my own mother and when I think about my fucked up life, I have nobody to blame but me.

time travel... bah!

14. The California Kid's '32 Coupe Street Rod ...
President Bartlett (aka Martin Sheen) at the wheel.

By the way, I seem to remember some mighty lean years for Bond. I recall him spiral jumping over a river in a early '70s AMC Hornet. It is really hard to make a Hornet cool no matter how thick your English accent.
