To paraphrase the great novelist that goes by the name of Ernest Hemingway, the only real racing sport is auto racing. All other sports are just games. Now, we dedicate this article to the top 10 racing movies.
This is the reason why Hollywood has attempted many times to replicate the exciting and full of adrenaline sport and its drama into a movie. Whether on the sharp and technical corners of the F1 circuit, the downtown streets in L.A, or a dangerous track of a private prison, we`ve seen it all. Because Hollywood has much to offer on this subject, Donut Media decided to make a list of their top 10 racing movies of all time. This list has it all, from screwball comedies and blockbuster franchises to gripping biopics and compelling documentaries. It really is the ultimate list.
Number 10 on the list is Driven featuring Sylvester Stallone. This is an excellent film that uses real footage from the 1900`s Kart/IndyCar races. Number 9 on the list is Thunderbolt starring Jackie Chan as a both racer and auto mechanic. Up next we have a documentary about the racing life of Paul Newman. On the seventh place, we have Rush by Ron Howard which is about one of the biggest rivalries in F1 between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Number 6 on the list is Bust to Glory which is a documentary about the 1000 mile race through a treacherous desert terrain in North America. Up next we have the NASCAR comedy – Talladega Nights. Then on fourth place is the legendary Days of Thunder starring Tom Cruise as a NASCAR driver. Watch the video below to see which movies are on the top 3 places on the Donut Media`s top 10 racing movies list.
