The Great Escape was kinda sweet. Don't think I've seen any of his other films.

Those 3 movies are great... but none would be considered "the greatest film of all time." If only there was a way to digitally insert Steve McQueen into Babel. That would be totally rad.

I liked Bullit, but the movie was boring except for the chase. Great Escape was good. But come on.... no mention of Le Mans?

If you're not seriously into cars, don't bother. As far as I can remember, it's basically not much different than watching an actual Le Mans race.

Snooze fest, eh? So do the Europeans have tailgate parties at Le Mans the way Americans do at NASCAR races?

And if they can name an auto race after a part of a woman's body, why can't we name one of our races, Le Scrotum?

They're more like "in the tent covered in mud dreading the drive home because you've had no sleep" parties, since not many Europeans have tailgates. And they're seriously boring affairs. Monaco's F1 "flybridge" parties are the only ones worth bothering with.

I'm going to have to go with "The Great Escape" and "The Magnificent Seven" as they are the only two I have seen, or at least remember seeing.

No, but they have racecars that are able to turn both directions.

Are you trying to say that America doesn't have road races? Or that NASCAR or Indy car engineers couldn't build cars that could accommodate both left and right hand turns if that was what was called for?

Thomas Crown

Bullit

Then the others, starting with Great Escape, Magnificent Seven, Papillon, LeMans (lots of great actors and great acting in that one), and yes, even Towering Inferno.
