Duh! Yes! Got Vanishing Point on video and got the sound track. Went to see it at the movies when it came out. Cool film for those days. The track Mississippi Queen by Mountain has got to be an all time rock classic IMO, although you don't hear too much of it in the movie. So Tired by Eve is also an ace track.

Duel, forgot all about it. Good movie. I could even put up with Dennis Weaver in it! Speilbergs first movie wasn't it?

All added to the list. Good one Seaspray.

Seaspray

Monte Carlo or Bust, or The Great Race, Dukes of Hazard (the movie)

Wowbagger

Dunc', you slipped that one in while I was repling to Seaspray!

Geniveve, ahhhhh, nice movie. The Italian Job, how could I possibly have forgotten?! Smokey and the Bandit, duh! once again!

Wages of Fear; I was just on about that to my son the other day but couldn't think of the name. Good movie.

Ice Cold in Alex, not what you'd think of first is it? Classic movie. How many times have you seen it, eh? Me? About fifteen!

Does that mean we can have that one with the traction engine then?

The Big Wheel (Mickey Rooney dirt-track to Indy 500 pre war or 40s). Mille Milgia. poor for great subject.
