Okay, so we all like each other. Well, mostly. S-o-o-o, it does stand to reason that each and every one of has an outstanding DVD to recommend for me ( & the rest of the forums gang) to rent for viewing over the holidays:
Two categories:
1.) Seasonal DVD that we must watch
2.) Non-seasonal any genre DVD that will make our holiday viewing.
Thanking you in advance.

The best driving movies were made in the 60's: Gran Prix, The Italian Job (original version, featuring the very cool original mini Coopers), and one of the best chase scenes ever filmed, Bullitt. No digital enhancement/trickery, either, the stunt crew actually drove the cars that way.
Re: transmissions, if automatics with paddle shifters are good enough for F1, I'm sure they are just fine for us speed limited North Americans.
This is true...but you paddle shift the same way as you should with manual. It's the thinking and planning that makes manually changing gears (paddle auto or traditional) that makes you a better driver and gve you more feel for what's going on. Opinion, of course.
But I'll agree with Bullitt and The Italian Job. I would add French Connection too.
