Top Favorite Car Racing Movies
Due to the upcoming release of "GRAN TURISMO", I had decided to list my current favorite movies about car racing:
TOP FAVORITE CAR RACING MOVIES
"Speed Racer" (2008) - The Wachowskis wrote and directed this exciting and very original adaptation of Tatsuo Yoshida's late 1960s Manga animated series about a young American race car driver. Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci and Matthew Fox starred.
2. "The Love Bug" (1968) - Robert Stevenson directed this funny and first-rate adaptation of "Car, Boy, Girl", Gordon Buford's novel about a sentient Volkswagen Beetle named Herbie and his relationship with his driver, Jim Douglas. Dean Jones, Michele Lee, Buddy Hackett and David Tomlinson starred.
3. "Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies aka Monte Carlo or Bust" (1969) - Ken Annakin directed and co-wrote this all-star comedy about the European car rally , the Monte Carlo Rally. Tony Curtis, Susan Hampshire and Terry-Thomas starred.
4. "Rush" (2013) - Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl starred in this biopic about the rivalry between two drivers, the Briton James Hunt and the Austrian Niki Lauda, during the 1976 Formula One motor-racing season. Ron Howard directed.
5. "Ford v Ferrari" (2019) - James Mangold directed this biopic about automobile designer Carroll Shelby and racer Ken Miles, who were hired by the Ford Motor Company to lead a team to build a race car that would defeat the perennially dominant Italian racing team Scuderia Ferrari at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. Matt Damon and Christian Bale.
6. "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" (2006) - Adam McKay wrote and directed this sports comedy about an immature yet successful NASCAR driver. Will Farrell starred.
7. "The Great Race" (1965) - Blake Edwards directed and co-wrote this comedic and fictionalized account of the 1908 New York to Paris Race. Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon and Natalie Wood starred.
8. "Grand Prix" (1966) - John Frankenheimer directed this story about the fate of four Formula One drivers through a fictionalized version of the 1966 Formula One season. James Garner, Eva Marie Saint and Yves Montand starred.
9. "Viva Las Vegas" (1964) - Elvis Presley and Ann-Margaret starred in this musical comedy about a romance between a race car driver competing in Las Vegas' first annual Grand Prix race and a hotel swimming instructor. George Sidney directed.
10. "Cars" (2006) - John Lasseter directed and co-wrote this Disney animated film about a hotshot rookie race car named Lightning McQueen who gets stranded in Radiator Springs, a rundown town that is past its glory days. Owen Wilson starred.

Obviously a cheap expensive cash-in of the success of those magnificent men in there flying machines, but I do love Jimmy Durante‘s energy of „yeah I can’t sing, yeah this is not good, but boy am I gonna sell this“ plus the dumb car horns at the start

Monte Carlo or Bust! Wait - I mean, Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies! Or actually, is it Monte Carlo Rally, which from this cool movie pamphlet appears to be the title in Japan for the 1969 wacky car race film featuring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore (sirs not-actually-appearing-in-this-photo)?!
Whatever you call it - it's a zany slice of '60s fun! An eBay listing for a copy of this pamphlet has additional snaps of its pages. Neat!

I’ve been playing the remaster of Grim Fandango lately. I really dig it, and I love the developer commentary including composer Peter McConnell. Two things he said in the commentary have brought me a lot of joy.
1) One of the developers references Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies (1969) then Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965) - and McConnell jumps in and sings a bit of the theme song to the latter!
those magnificent men in their flying machines they go up tiddly-up-up, they go down tiddly-own-down...
2) One of the developers talks about how they based a minor character’s personality off someone at their workplace, stating that they feel it’s important to add things from your life into your work even if nobody else knows. McConnell sagely adds “that just means that work will be about life rather than life being about work”. That really struck a chord with me, and I’ll be thinking about it for a long time.

Title card research -
To begin my research on title cards I found a really useful blog post on the subject that gives a brief run down of how styles changed throughout film:
https://www.canva.com/learn/film-titles/
My favourites are:
Ronald Searles illustrations for Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies (1969)
Simple bold colours of Friz Freleng’s title sequence for Pink Panther (1963)
One of my favourite lookd is the Looney Toons classic style:
