1. "American Graffiti" (1973)

Pedal-to-the-Metal Plot: George Lucas directed this tale of '60s teens on the brink of adulthood. Oh, and most of 'em have really cool rides.

Under the Hood: "Graffiti" is a showcase of classic cars: Ron Howard's 1958 white Chevy Impala; Harrison ... moreFord's "wicked" 1955 black Chevy with a 454 engine; Paul Le Mat's 1932 open-wheel yellow Ford Deuce Coupe; and Suzanne Somers' 1956 white Thunderbird.

Turbo Trivia: One of the '55 Chevys used in the film is from another seminal car movie, the cult fave "Two-Lane Blacktop" (1971).
