Gone in 60 Seconds

Movie recommendation of the week

oldie but a goodie (and the very first DVD I owned)

produced by Jerry Bruckheimer - who has pretty much produced avery cool car movie in the past two decades

Bruckheimer once again teams up with Robert Duvall to prove they make the best car movies and adds Cage to the mix.  throw in some eye candy with Angelina Jolie and some up and coming actors such as Giovanni Ribisi (Bioler room, who has made plenty of movies after this one and is a great actor)

don't forget about the english guy from snatch also the angry soccer fan from euro-trip.  

This is before Nicholas Cage started taking every movie thrown at him such as Matchstick Men and Ghost Rider

This instant car classic is a remake from the old days when cars were cars

Either way it's an oldie but goodie that recently came out on blu-ray to add to the throaty scream when Eleanor eludes detectives Casselback and that guy from the girl next door.  

The ovie is well planned and plotted and remains true to car chase scenes and avoids hollywood dramatics until the final scene when Eleanor jumps basically the entire golden gate bridge, which almost ruined the movie for me, besides that, always a top 5 of mine

Angelina Jolie is bright-fully skanky, and that kid from boiler room plays a great snot nosed little brother who Nicholas Cage has to bail out. to steal 50 cars in 24 hours.  

This has all the old cars to make you feel just nostalgic enough, it has dream cars to leave you wanting, and enough action scenes, car chases, and throaty V-8's to get the blood pumping.

that is the oldie but goodie recommendation of the week
