One of the Festival Playlist events has me wondering: has anyone ever done a breakdown of
the Iconic Movie Cars category, and what movies they came from? Because once I figured out that the '79 Z/28 is probably there because of
Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and I'm guessing the '71 Mach 1 is from the
only true original
Gone in 60 Seconds, I'm starting to wonder how deep their cinematic references go. Because I'm also seeing the '75 Ford Bronco on that list, and the one movie I know that generation model having a prominent appearance in is
Three Days of the Condor. Maybe some
IMCDB sleuthing is in order.
(Then again, most of them are either kind of obvious -- the DeLorean was in a movie besides
The Wedding Singer, right? -- or spans multiple possibilities. Is the Countach on that list because of
Cannonball Run or
The Wolf of Wall Street?)
