10 Great Car Films

2. Mad Max : Fury Road (2015)

The Mad Max films have always been over the top, with wacky villains and insane cars, and Fury Road follows in the footsteps of its predecessors. The film follows the story of Imperator Furyosa (Charlize Theron) as she tries to save herself and a group of female slaves, and Max (Tom Hardy) who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. As they race along the dystopian landscape that was once Australia in a tractor trailer covered in spikes and weapons, they contend with the warlord chasing them and his troops. The visuals are as gorgeous as they are violent, with explosions and bullets around every corner. The vehicles are so loaded with weapons and spikes that any one of them would probably get you through a zombie apocalypse with ease. The pinnacle of the films over-the-top antics in the giant rolling sound system: speakers on top of speakers making a pyramid, with a crazed guy hanging from bungie cords, playing a flaming guitar. This film is awesome.
