These starries of the big screen do not receive awards or pose for
fashion and society magazines. However, other than actors and directors,
many times they are the stars of the film. These classic cars have a
personality of their own and a protagonist roll in films that have made
history.

| Ford Deuce
Coupe (1932) |
The first one of this top five is the 1932
Ford Deuce Coupe, immortalized in the movie
American Graffiti
from 1973. This classic deserves all respect, after becoming a
collection piece for the lovers of old cars, thanks to director George
Lucas. Actually, the band The Beach Boys dedicated a song to it as well
as its fourth album, both entitled Little Deuce Coupe.
Another great Ford is the
Thunderbird Convertible (1966),
possibly the most famous of all after being the protagonist in the
super film Thelma and Louise, 1991. This convertible is the star of
Ridley Scott's popular road movie, accompanying Susan Sarandon and Geena
Davis along their unforgettable adventure.

The third one of this list is the wonderful
Ford Falcon XB (1973),
launched in the film Mad Max, 1979. This is no less than the fabulous
car driven by Mel Gibson in George Miller's film, a work to worship by
the lovers of the futurist western. This great car is a collection piece
nowadays.
Of course, in this list we had to mention at least one of
the James Bond's classics. The peculiar British secret agent most famous
in the history of the cinema, has driven dozens of espectacular cars,
but we have chosen the most noticed of all. We are, of course, talking
about the magnificent
Lotus Esprit S1 (1976), used in the saga during the film The Spy Who Loved Me, from 1977.

And closing the list the
Austin Mini Cooper S (1961). The
Mini is much more than a movies car: it is history on four wheels, an
authentic icon of its epoch. And so it proved itself to be in the film
by
Peter Collinson,
The Italian Job, from 1969. This great engine in its sporting version dominated four competitions of the Montecarlo rally between 1964 and 1967.
As you can see, nothing escapes the capacity of these cars to look fantastic on the big screen.
