Having the right car can really make a movie.

It’s a scientific fact that even the worst films can be improved 501% if there is a cool car in it. It’s like putting four wheels on to a turd and rubbing it with turtle wax.

And it’s not difficult to work out why ? we love cars. Simple. We just can’t get enough of them. Sure, they may be destroying our planet and cost us a packet to run, but how else are you get from A to B in style? Public transport? Do us a favour. Walking? Get lost!

Besides, everyone knows that owning a cool car makes you 60 times more attractive to the opposite sex. You can’t argue with those odds.

So in honour of our four-wheeled friends, Hecklerspray has come up with coolest cars ever to appear in movies. It was a difficult task. Let’s just say, there is a load of movies with cars in them. But just so you know, Driving Miss Daisy does not feature on this list.

Enjoy the car porn!

26. 1973 Ford Falcon

Films: Mad Max



Remember when we liked Mel Gibson? Or was it just the car?

25. 1964 Lincoln Continental

Film: Animal House



Great film, great car. Perfect!!

24. 1980 Lamborghini Countach

Film: Cannonball Run



Forget the fact you have to be a particularly flexible dwarf to drive one ? the Countach is still a very special car.

23. Shelby Mustang

Film: Gone in 60 seconds



Even Nic Cage looked good in this car ? it’s that good.

22. 1977 Camaro Bumblebee

Film: Transformers



Unfortunately, not all of them turn into robots.

21. 1958 Plymouth Fury

Film: Christine



Great car, with a lot of attitude.

20. 1932 Ford Deuce Coupe

Film: American Graffiti



A classic movie car.

19. Lotus Esprit

Film: The Spy Who Love Me



Not only does it look cool, but it can also shoot down helicopters after turning itself into a submarine. Now that’s cool.

18. 1976 Ford Gran Torino

Film: Starsky and Hutch



The best car ever at driving through trash cans.

17. Aston Martin Vanquish

Film: Die Another Day

The only good thing in this film.

16. 1981 Porsche 928

Film: Risky Business

We almost cried when it ended up in the river.

15. 2002 Nissan 350Z Fairlady

Film: The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift

It takes a lot to stand out in a series of films dedicated to cool cars.

14. 1967 Pontiac GTO

Film: XXX

Beautiful car ? shame about the driver.

13. Frankenstein (Modified Chevrolet Corvette)

Film: Death Race 2000

If you ever find yourself in a race to the death, you’d want to be in this car. Or maybe the car from Death Proof. Hmmmm.

12. 1970 Dodge Challenger

Film: Death Proof and Vanishing Point



Brilliant car that was re-used in Death Proof.

11. Ferrari 250 GT California

Film: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

OK, we did cry when it got smashed up.

10. 1977 Pontiac Trans-Am

Film: Smokey and The Bandit

Burt Reynolds is so cool he can wear a cowboy hat, have a dodgy moustache and play a character called ‘The Bandit’ and nobody questions his sexuality.

9. General Lee

Film: The Dukes of Hazzard

Made the film almost watchable ? almost!

8. Batmobile

Film: Batman series

Our personal favourite is the 1989 version, but any would do.

7. 1963 Volkswagen Beetle

Films: Herbie series

Not even Lindsay Lohan could make Herbie uncool.

6. The Mach 5

Film: Speed Racer

OK, the film was pants, but the cars were something else.

5. 1964 Austin Mini

Film: Italian Job



One of the coolest ever films deserves one of the coolest cars.

4. Ecto-1

Film: Ghostbusters I and II

It needed a lot of work, but who wouldn’t want to own it?

3. 1968 Ford Mustang 390 GT

Film: Bullitt



This is just another excuse to see the greatest car chase in movie history.

2. Aston Martin DB5

Films: Various James Bond films

Even Jeremy Clarkson could look cool in this car.

1. 1981 Delorean

Film: Back to the Future series

Let’s not beat around the bush here. The Delorean is a terrible car. The Delorean in Back to The Future is the coolest car ever to appear in a movie.
