Default Corvette movies

My C7 loving wife and me just finished watching Smokey and the Bandit while working out in our gym. I confess that if I'm not engaged by a documentary or movie while on the tread mill I just wont do it.

So, is there a master list of Corvette movies around? C3 preferred, of course. And reviews would be appreciated.

I am the same when it comes to a treadmill.

However, don't limit yourself to movies

Get on you tube and search for corvette c3 or by year
and there are a multitude of clips of restorations
driving corvettes and other vintage corvette stuff

Here is a chase scene I watch all the time as it has
my two favorite cars. Keep watching through the black
screen at the beginning

Most car movies are cheesy in some way just depends if its a kind of cheese you like,

Films with vettes are not always car movies

King of the mountain
The wraith
Gumball rally
Kiss me deadly
Con air
Rush hour
Death race 2000 but its a dune buggy not real corvette
Animal house
Billy jack
Rc vette in dead pool,
Theres a grand sport replica in one of the fast and vin movies,
Fury road has the aussie vette kit car,
Terms of endearment, jack drives a c3 with his feet sitting on the roof ,
Blue thunder,
Okay, im bored

Ah, come on guys.
Walking Tall- Buford actually died in a 74.
Walking Tall part2-nice chase of a yellow 75, I believe.

Rush Hour 1, 2, and 3.
Also, Cannonball (NOT Cannonball Run).
There's a C7 in Captain America: Winter Soldier, which is probably the best of the Marvel movies.

If you want to really get into the weeds, try the Internet Movie Car Database:

81 pages of movie links.

...that "Hot Rods To Hell" clip sure brings back old memories-loved that movie as a kid in the sixties/early seventies. That C1 was just spewing oil smoke out the left bank forever!!!

Watched Le Mans again last night. If you look closely you'll see 6 or so quick views of a C3 on the track. I did a quick search and found the background story on the car:

Cleopatra Jones.
she drives a really cool old school custom chromie with custom tails and electric t-tops that flip up automatically when you open a door. Also she keeps an arsenal under the passenger side door panel. it's a cheesy blacksploitation movie from the early 70s. Includes a great car chase too.
