The Top Six Recognizable Cars in Film and Television History

          I'm not much of a car guy; of course, when it comes to transportation, cars are important. Growing up, however, they didn't interest me other than their purpose. Instead, I grew up around film and media: I worked as a background actor and appear in such films as Seabiscuit, The Terminal, and in shows such as The Bernie Mac Show, JAG, Gilmore Girls, and more. In the movies, cars are much more than transportation--they're characters.
          Rather than go on a huge discussion on which cars do what in every single film, I've comprised a list of the top 6, ranging anywhere from the past to modern day.

Number 6: The Dukes of Hazard

          Whether its the bright orange and contrasting 01, or the infamous horn that can be found anywhere from ringtones, television, or actual novelty horns, The Dukes of Hazard's General-Lee is one of the more recognizable vehicles in film and television history. Even in video-games such as Grand Theft Auto, cars reminiscent of the Duke boys' ride can be found. This here vehicle is nothing but mischief.

Number 5: Bat mobiles

          New or old, Bruce Wayne's vehicles are a must on any car and film lover's list. Sleek, sexy, or ust plain obnoxious, we all grew up watching at least one of these stylish forms of transportation blasting through Gotham after the Joker, Penguin, or Riddler. My personal favorite is the tumbler from Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. Which is yours?

Number 4: Simpson car

          Over hundreds of television episodes and one feature length film, The Simpsons' car is familiar for such scenes as the infamous introduction, Marge driving away from Homer, and road-trips to Krustyland. In close distance with this vehicle is Homer's famous pink car, but let's not say we would ever forget that bent antennae.

Number 3: 007 Aston Martin

          Need I explain? Sexy women, metal teeth, deadly bowler hats, and one thrilling game of poker; 007 is known throughout the world, and his car follows right with him. Whatever you do, however, don't blow it up.

Number 2: Ghostbuster Car

          Is it an ambulance? Is it a hearse? Whatever it is, it's not afraid of any ghosts. The Ghostbuster car is #2 for its gang of humorous doctors and scientist. Yes, it is a big twinkie.

Number 1: Back to the Future DeLorean

          Doc Brown's famous time machine is at the top with its twin-wing doors, blaring lights, and flashing flux-capacitor (whatever that is). Dreamt up after a toilet-hit to the head, the DeLorean can be found all over 80s memorabilia and the Universal theme parks. Today, actual working DeLoreans matching the film's are made and sold by private makers, pushing this vehicle to the top of the film-nut's list of wanted chariots. ow, can someone explain what a Jiggawatt is?

          ow, these are only six vehicles out of hundreds of movies. There are many more recognizable cars such as the Munster's mobile and Kip from Nightrider. The question is simple: which is your favorite and why?
