Favorite movie cars

063006_cars.jpg With the Pixar flick Cars in theaters, cars.com has been inspired to make a list of their top 10 movie cars of all time. We were disappointed to see that the Houstonist staff Yugo didn't make the list, but then again, it only made that one brief appearance in Mannequin 2. Does your car make the list?

10. 2003 Mini Cooper S, The Italian Job
9. 1973 Ford Falcon, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior
8. 1958 Plymouth Fury, Christine
7. 1959 Cadillac ambulance, Ghostbusters
6. 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390, Bullitt
5. Batmobile Tumbler, Batman Begins
4. 1964 Aston Martin DB5, Goldfinger
3. 1974 Dodge Monaco, The Blues Brothers
2. 1961 Ferrari 250 GT, Ferris Bueller's Day Off

(drum roll please ... )
1. 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, Back to the Future

We also have to note that the 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit received honorable mention, and in our opinion is reason enough to expand the list to 11. (If only Knight Rider had been a movie ... ) We wouldn't mind cruising off into the sunset in pick No. 4, by the way.
