Sometimes movies suck and the best thing about them are the cars that are featured in the film. Here is a collection of cars that will be remembered a lot more than the lead characters in each movie.

1963 Volkswagen Beetle – Herbie
Herbie 53 is a love bug with a mind of his own, which is more than can be said for a vapid, wasted Lindsay Lohan. In reality Lohan never drove the car at all, Herbie drove around the wasted Lohan which saved her from another 7 DUI’s.

“Interceptor” 1974 Ford Falcon – The Road Warrior
Back then the 1974 Ford Falcon was more well known then this Mel Gibson guy who just went to the Mad Max audition with his friend, not really planning to get the part.

1981 DeLorean DMC-12 – Back to the Future
The DeLorean is a terrible car, but Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox made it a cultural trademark with a legacy as long as their acting careers in a “it’s so bad it’s good” kind of way.


“General Lee” 1969 Dodge Charger – The Dukes of Hazzard
Actors can be replaced and updated, but the 1969 Dodge Charger is the only car that can play the General Lee.

1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder – Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
There’s no amount of 80s cool guy antics that could ever make up for trashing that rare and beautiful Ferrari, which as Cameron points out there were less 100 made. (Luckily the movie version was fake).

“Grease Lightning” 1948 Ford Convertible – Grease
Seriously, the only reason guys watched Grease isn’t for Jon Travolta’s singing. It’s the 1948 Ford Convertible and Olivia Newton-John in those leather pants.

1977 Pontiac Trans Am – Smokey and the Bandit
Okay, maybe in this case it’s a tie between Burt Reynold’s mustache and the Trans Am.

1967 Pontiac GTO – xXx
The 1967 Pontiac GTO is an amazing car, but to be fair, it doesn’t take much to out perform Vin Diesel.

1977 Bumblebee Camaro – Transformers
Too bad there’s not more than meets the eye with Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox’s acting in Transformers… otherwise Bumblebee wouldn’t be our favorite character.

“Eleanor” Shelby Mustang GT500 – Gone in 60 Seconds
Critically, Gone in 60 Seconds was blamed for wrecking Nicolas Cage’s career, but really, the hard feelings come from the fact that he wrecked such a gorgeous car in the film.
