Anyone like to share their classics?
Apart from your high end movies like mad max, i remember as a kid staying up late one night and ' dead end drive In ' was showing. For some reason i remember this movie. Maybe their is time for a sequel? |

EDIT: I've got a pretty decent (video quality not dvd but better than a cam) copy of this on my hard drive. It took me years to track down but now i can't get into the hard drive and its killing me. |

Cannonball Run made me want a Lamborghini.
The Italian Job (1969) made me want a Mini Cooper. The old Dukes of Hazzard series made me want a Charger. Gone in 60 Seconds (original) made me want a Mach 1 Mustang. Mad Max made me want an XB Falcon (although at the time I didn't know it was an Aussie film with Aussie cars). I was an impressionable youngster.

If there are other links to this topic then can someone link us up....
Mad max would have had a little more cash spent on the movie then say 'dead end drive in' . That movie looks like it could have been done for 10g what about the wraith.... charlie cheen |

MadMax was made for just under $380 000 AU in 1978 money. It actually ran well over budget.
