Default 50 Most Memorable Movie Cars

Rotten Tomatoes recently posted "50 Most Memorable Movie Cars". Most of the usual suspects are there. The Delorean from Back to the Future takes the top spot.

I don't know about their ranking order. Christine at 20th? It should definately be in the top 5.

I would have put the Cannonball Run Lambo and James Bond's Lotus Esprit submarine far above 17 and 16 myself as well, I can't look at an Esprit without imagining wings coming out of it and Roger Moore pulling a fish out of a dry car, nor can I do anything but laugh at the rediculous wing on the front of that Countach.

I agree Christine should be way up there.
My most memorable are Steve McQueen's Mustang in Bullitt, and pretty much all of the James Bond cars, but especially the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger (re-appearing in Casino Royale).

haha, yes. I love #10. Ferrari 250 GT California in Ferris Bueller's Day Off... great movie, great car (even though it was a replica). The of course, my number 1, the Bullitt Mustang.

I noticed Magnum PI's Ferrari 308 GTS didn't make the list. I think that's one of the most iconic cars of all time. What about the Viper RT/10 from the old TV series Viper? These cars are more recognizable then some of what made the list, especially Magnum's Ferrari.

I actually thought the same thing about Magnum's 308, but then I remembered it was a list of movie cars which doesn't include TV shows.

I think Christine should of been near the top of the list too. Also how does the Vanishing Point Challenger only come in 43rd? The deuce coupe from American Graffiti 40th? Overall it's a good list just needs some rearranging. At least the Wraith and the Death Proof Nova got honorable mentions so not bad.
