It seems to me my two kids love those old films about racing thingy.

So I have screened them "Mad, Mad, Mad World", "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines" followed by this week with "Those Daring Young Men in their Jaunty Jalopies".

I want to screen them more, and what have been in my mind are:

- Cannonball Run
- All three Herbie from Love Bug

What other titles you thing suit to the above theme.

It can be those available on super 8 or DVD.

Your input please.

Try them with "Carquake" from Iver 5x400 or 1x400, or the
German release of Death Race 2000" which was 3x400 from UFA.

Thanks guys,

I am not quite detail, my kids are 5 and 7, so you know what would be the interest of kids on those ages.

I will check all the titles above but if there's a film where sex and murder are part of the story that would not be suit to my kids. Comedy must be the main part of the story.

Just comes to my mind is "Genevieve".

Any more please?

Hi Winbert,

One of the best racing films I've seen is California Straight Ahead (1925) with Reginald Denny. If you find the feature (it's on Super 8), get it...it's both funny and exciting.

Why everybody here seems to forget "The Great Race".

I just got it by accident in library and watched this very funy.

I never forget the laugh of Jack Lemon when he was a king.

Why this title never appeared on super 8?
