The first 15 minutes of "Grand Prix" (1966?) at Monaco is about as good
as it gets.  The rest of the movie contains a plethora of excellent
race scenes...with a whole lot of soap opera separating them.  There
is a fair bit of carnage in the movie as well.  

"The Italian Job" is another fine car movie.  It's a Michael Caine
caper with a bunch of Cooper S's running through narrow italian
streets, jumping off roofs and stuff...very fun.

Mike,

Try to find a documentry called The Speed Merchants. Great Sports Car racing
from the early 70's. Grand Prix is always good on a rainy afternoon. A film
documentry about late 70's Can-Am called Circuit, is also worth a look. Check
out the back of autoweek for the Motorbooks International catalogue.  They have
tons of Racing films.

Good action and camera shots for sure, but you sure about the
acting?  =P

Looked to me like a "grounded" version of Top Gun.  ;)

Cheers!

  What...are you on *** or something...?  Maybe the best "crash and burn"
film of all time...

  As far as the racing went in DoT, it REALLY sucked.  If that'd been real
NASCAR racing, them boys'd been kicked outta there like a Green Bay field
goal...

  My pick:  Redline 7000.  Great 60's NASCAR flick; classic action from
Daytona, Darlington, C***te, Atlanta, and Riverside; good music, and some
pretty believable storylines...

about Formula 1 racing.....has anyone heard anything about this?  Thanks.

Yes, but unfortunately Sly Stallone is involved with the project, and I
even heard mention of Antonio Banderas playing Senna.  The thought is
quite sickening.

It is important to remember that any film WITH Steve
McQueen is inherently superior to any film WITHOUT Steve
McQueen. Therefore, the answer is Le Mans.
