Well, the blogosphere has spoken, and what it has to say is this: How could you forget Eleanor? The star of the original “Gone in 60 Seconds” was far and away the car mentioned most by commenters as the car most deserving of a spot on our Top 10 Movie Cars list.

- ‘70 Dodge Challenger, “Vanishing Point”
- ’77 Trans Am, “Smokey and the Bandit”
- ’32 Ford Coupe, “American Graffiti”
