Yahoo!'s Top 10 Movie Cars

x-posted from Eggs N Bloggin.

Yahoo!, always on the cutting edge of misinformed news and horrible articles, has recently released a list for a Hollywood Auto Show. Check the article for pictures -- here's the list reproduced for easier viewing.


  • DeLorean DMC-12 from 'Back to the Future'

  • 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T from 'Grindhouse (Death Proof)' and 'Vanishing Point'

  • Wayne Industries Tumbler from 'Batman Begins'

  • 1968 390 GT V8 Ford Mustang from 'Bullitt'

  • 2009 Chevrolet Camaro from 'Transformers'

  • 1963 Aston Martin DB5 from numerous James Bond films

  • 2002 MINI Cooper S from 'The Italian Job'

  • 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California from 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'

  • 2002 Nissan 350Z Fairlady from 'The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift'

  • 1963 Model 117 Volkswagon Type 1 'Beetle' Deluxe from 'Herbie: Fully Loaded'


Transformers? The Italian Job? Fast and the Furious? There's obviously some glaring omissions from Yahoo!'s vulgar list.


How about in Harold and Maude, when Harold turns his Porsche into a hearse? Possibly one of the most creative, and amusing vehicles. Especially since we see it drive off a cliff at the end of the movie.



Also, how could they forget the Ectomobile, the inspired hearse/ambulance from Ghostbusters? Easily one of the best vehicles of our time.



What about the Pussy Wagon from Kill Bill: Volume 1? Definitely one of the most ridiculous cars in movie history. (Sorry, hard to find good pictures of it on the net.)



The final noteworthy void in the 'top movie cars' list is the popular Mystery Machine from the Scooby Doo movies (and TV series, naturally). This is one of my personal favorites...



And that's it for my substitutions to their list. Though I think one thing we can definitely all agree on is the DeLorean is the best -- end of story.

    Not to seem nitpicky... but that's not a Porsche. It's a Jaguar E Type or XKE.

    Beaten to it. A Porsche hearse would have the engine in the back so You'd need to put the body upfront for balance.

    Nice Mystery Machine, except it shouldn't be a VW Transporter but a Chevy Van. As the Scoobie Doo movie was made in the UK, they used the English equivalent, a Bedford CF, converted to left hand drive.
