Grand Prix, more of a race movie, but still a great movie.

"Drive" isn't too bad of a movie either

Though not a genre I normally care for ... "Christine" ... agreed is a good car movie.

There are many good car scenes, including chase scenes in non-car movies as well... chase scene in Dabney Coleman's "Short Time" comes too mind.

More obscure ones:
-Black Moon Rising
-The Shirley Muldowney Story (obviously)
-The Heavenly Kid
-Six Pack
-Gung Ho

Examples of non-car movies:
Ronin: Awesome chase scene, but definitely not a car movie.
Bourne: Awesome chase scene(s), but definitely not a car movie.
Bullitt : Awesome chase scene, but definitely not a car movie...Sorry, but just a chase scene...the rest is a cop / murder movie.
McQ: John Wayne has a freakin awesome '73 Brewster Green T/A, but just a cop movie.

Car Movies:
F&F series: They talk about the cars and are tied in directly to the actors and personas
Smokey & the Bandit: "Need a fast car...faster than that...faster." And he came up with a T/A...I hated the choices in the late 70's.
Christine: Totally about the car...and who wouldn't wish for self-healing bodywork at the cost of your immortal soul.
Gone in 60 (Sixty): Both are great and about the cars with the latest treating the cars with respect and love.
The Wrath + The Car: Whether alien or demon, both were car centric and actual characters in the film.
Cars: It's about cars...animated, but really kinda cool. Cars 2...even gives "lemons" a chance at stardom.

/end diatribe on car film definitions

Any movie with a sexy car is a car movie to me.
