I've narrowed it down to
A. Dirty Mary crazy Larry
B. Two Lane blacktop
C. Convoy
D. Vanishing point
I'm kinda feeling two Lane blacktop but could go any direction. Your vote counts. Movie starts at 10pm my time which is 11pm Eastern. You have twenty minutes.
My selections would be, in no particular order
Road Warrior
Gone in 60 Seconds
Baby Driver
The Italian Job
The Transporter
Deathproof
Form your list: A
Two A's and one B. My vote was B. I just asked the boy to choose A or B and he said A so dirty Mary crazy Larry it is.
Solid choice.
"Speeds expensive how fast you wanna go"
Souped?
That's the driver not the car, let's go
Man, for a cheesy B movie this thing's absolutely loaded with terrific lines.
What a classic.
I likes me some D. Haven’t watched that movie in a while.
I would have gone with C, but that’s partly because the song was one of my favorites at the time, and also because I saw a FB post about the movie this week, so now the song is stuck in my head. Again.
The original Italian Job. I got to watch it again a few weeks ago and it was amazing how many of the lines I remembered. Then I remembered we played that at the theater when I worked there so I sat through it many times.
I just drove from California back to Chicago and much of the landscape I saw had the "Vanishing Point" feel to it. I would watch that one again.
I watched "The Bank Job" last night and it had a ton of old English cars as the setting was around 1971.

My unrelated preference goes Cannonball Run, Smokey and the Bandit, and the first half of It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world.
My wife was cleaning house and getting rid of stuff. She handed me a box of stuff and asked if I was ok with parting with. One of the things was my VHS copy of two lane blacktop I bought in high school. "You can't get rid of that, it's an awesome movie!" She replied "We don't have vcr, and we never will again. How are you going to watch it?" I felt my bottom lip start to quiver.

I've still got a couple on vhs that I haven't been able to find on DVD yet. White lightning and gumball rally come to mind. I'll find them eventually.

That is a minor technical difficulty that is easily overcome.

I know my dad has Gumball Rally on DVD. It came in a twin pack with Cannonball Run 2.

Sorry, what was the question? Nope, not changing my answer.

Right on!

I vote Hooper.
Yes I know it's not on your list. I can't help it if your list was incomplete.
