“Death Race 2000” Named One of the All-Time Best Car Racing Movies

Craig / / 2019, Death Race 2000, Honors

Alex Maidy at Joblo.com posted his choices for the Top Ten Car Racing Movies.  There are a few surprising choices (Cannonball Run?  Talladega Nights?) and some expected ones.

I’m happy to say that Sly Stallone made the list.  My first thought would have been Driven, but actually it was for Death Race 2000.

Click over and see Maidy’s full list and his comments on each.

“Rocky” Named One of the Best Movies of the 70s

Eric D. Snider posted his choices at Mental Floss for The 21 Best Movies of the 1970s.  Snider’s list contains great choices. He listed his picks (except for Godfather 2) by their year of release.  I rated Snider’s choices by how they resonated with me.  Here’s how things came out…
