Monte Hellman's 1971 film, Two Lane Blacktop, is arguably the only existential car movie to have made it into textbooks. Featuring Beach Boys member Dennis Wilson as a mechanic, James Taylor, the folk singing legend of the time, as the driver, and Warren Oates as a talkative GTO owner, the film features almost no dialogue. The film's starring cars are a '55 Chevy 454 and a '70 Pontiac GTO. The '55 Chevy, a very fashionable matte grey with a massive 454 engine, is a standout. Oates, playing a pilot with too much time and money, constantly challenges the Chevy with his newly purchased yellow GTO. However, Taylor and Wilson, being super cool, are barely interested in this offer. Their relationship with a hitchhiking girl remains an enigma. It's definitely a must-have for any car enthusiast's collection.
