italian job, gone in 60 seconds...
 
fast and the furious, 2 fast 2 furious.

These are all movies that my sister likes, and I'm trying to think of a DVD to get her for Christmas.

Can anyone recommend movies similar to these from the past few years? (She hates "old" movies which means just about anything before 1995 or so)

Torque & Biker Boyz (they're basically The Fast and the Furious with motorcycles)

Torque is one of the worst movies ever made, IMO.

Totally agree and Biker Boyz is not that much better.

i thought torque was pretty good. the bike chases/fights were good.

Only get those two if you hate her. If you are looking for movies with long, good car chases, check out Bourne Indentity or Transporter.

Torque was very fun -- a trashy action flick that knows it's trash and goes so far over the deep end into sheer preposterousness that it's almost endearing. As close to being an 80-minute beer commercial as you're likely to ever see. :)

Tell her to wise up and give her The French Connection.

The Transporter.

I think 'Swordfish' would fit in with what she seems to like.

REL77 11-18-04 11:21 AM

Transporter was great... I recommend that

I concur. It had a minute or two of good stuff but thats it. When it came to motorbike Fu and the train scene... it lost all its respect, if it even had any.

mischief invasion, or mischief destroy. Driven would also be enjoyable

steebo777 11-18-04 01:21 PM

Without a doubt, The Hire film series by BMW.

agreed....if it has to be newer. too bad since one of the best ever is The Driver with Ryan O'neal.

Ronin
The Rock
Transporter

MasterCXtreme 11-18-04 03:39 PM

Bad Boys I&II

Kal-El 11-18-04 03:48 PM

Driven has Estella Warren in it...:drool:

tylerwillis 11-18-04 03:58 PM

Ronin is a good close for the three car movies.

For a similar to Italian Job, try Ocean's 11.

danicus007 11-18-04 04:40 PM

Transporter

cross 11-18-04 07:24 PM

Oceans 11
The Rock
Face Off
Pirates of the Carribean
Rundown

If she likes cars, get her a copy of NFS Underground 2 or GTA: San Andreas.

ShagMan 11-18-04 07:46 PM

Ronin, GREAT car chase scenes.

fumanstan 11-18-04 07:48 PM
