My Top 10 Cars for Movies and TV

10) 1968 Mustang GT 390, "Bullitt"
Just an awesome car that was in one of the, if not the greatest, movie car chases of all time.

9) 1982 Pontiac Trans Am, KITT from "Knight Rider"
On board computer to help chase down the bad guys, took GPS and OnStar to a whole new level.

8) 1998 Audi S8, "Ronin"
Sleek performance car with a lot of luxury. It's a good thing Sean Bean's character didn't throw up in it after the arms deal went bad.

7) 1959 Cadillac Ambulance, "Ghostbusters"
Who doesn't love Ecto 1? With the incredibly annoying siren and extravagant amount of lights on top of it, it was awesome.

6) 1967 Shelby Mustang GT 500 - Eleanor, "Gone in 60 Seconds"
One sweet looking Mustang. I am partial to Mustangs though...

5) 1975 Lotus Esprit, "The Spy Who Loved Me"
It's a Lotus that is also a submarine, has surface to air missiles, and more than likely a champagne bottle in the glove box.

4) 1969 Dodge Charger, General Lee, "Dukes of Hazard"
Can't go wrong with the General Lee. Even though the car was made for the streets, it worked well cutting through fields too.

3) 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, "Back to the Future"
One feature set this car apart -- Flux capacitor. That and I thought it was the coolest looking car when I was a kid because the doors flipped up when they were opened.

2) 1974 Dodge Monaco, with police package, "Blues Brothers"
"It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?"

1) EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle, "Stripes"
Any RV that can infiltrate hostile countries and take you on a weekend getaway is definitely #1. Add in the extra safety features of bulletproof glass, tons of armor, and of course some defensive armament and you have one top of the line military/recreational vehicle. I wonder if defensive armament equals car insurance savings?

Here are some other cars that were definitely popular, but couldn't quite crack my top 10.

1963 Volkswagen Beetle, "Herbie"
The only car that somehow had a personality, that wasn't because of an on-board computer but lost major points because it is still a beetle.

Batmobile, from the original TV series
Definitely had some upgrades but the flame shooting out of the back seems too much of a safety hazard.

Customized Paragon Panther, "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; if you remember the song, I bet this will be in your head for a long time...

While many people watched the Dukes of Hazard and Knight Rider, I am sure that many people never thought about how much the car insurance on K.I.T.T or the General Lee was. Besides, Boss Hog would probably have tampered with the local Hazard insurance agents.
