Smokey and the bandit was my dad’s favorite movie.
The next day after we saw it in the theater, my dad went to the local Pontiac dealer and ordered a brand new fully loaded black and gold ‘77 Trans-am with t-tops exactly like the one in the film. I still have the car tucked away in my garage, but it’s in need of a restoration.
Just keep the rust at bay and you've got unlimited time almost
While the top 2 are spot on, I would put Duel higher than number 10. That is a superb film
That's for damn sure. Top 3 for me, easy
I agree,duel is a classic
Duel should be #3 for sure.
Andrew, I agree completely. As soon as I saw that it was number 10, I thought that it should be higher ranked. We all knew Smokey would be number 1,10-4.
Seeing Jerry Reed get after it in the left lane passing the convoy when i first saw Smokey And The Bandit still gets me all sentimental.
The Cars movie was a truck movie about how you should NOT sleep while trucking.
The 2006 Disney movie?
More like "why you shouldn't push truck drivers beyond their limits." Mack only fell asleep because McQueen kept pushing him when it wasn't even necessary..
Or do like mr bean
Black dog smoking the bandit over-the-top
@@joshmontemayor6098Disney? No, it was Pixar who made Cars.
You forgot High Ballin , with Jerry Reed and Peter Fonda , one of the best🚛
Duel is my all times favorite. It was Spielbergs first (B) movie. I have seen that movie several times. I think "Joyride", an outstanding thriller with Paul Walker (RIP!), should be mentioned as well. However all movies shown here are worth to see them 👍! Best regards from Germany, Frank
One more UK oldie: Hell Drivers 1957. Starring Stanley Baker and featuring Sean Connery, Patrick McGoohan, David McCallum, Herbert Lom (police commissioner in Pink Panther movies), and Jill Ireland (later Mrs. McCallum and Mrs. Charles Bronson). I agree with Smokey and the Bandit as #1. I worked assembly at GMAD Norwood, Ohio at the time where we built Camaros and Firebirds. Smokey really boosted sales of Trans Am Firebirds.
Hell drivers is a very underrated film with same big name stars
Smoky and the Bandit was one of my momma’s favorite movies, I remember her taking me and my little sisters to the theatre when it opened, I still watch it every time it has a rerun on tv, makes me think of my mom and how much I miss her!❤️❤️❤️
'The Wages Of Fear' A little B&W number from 1953. Now those were brave truckers!
"Convoy" was the movie I grew up with when my pop drove for a trucking company.
And I was on the road with him weekends and in the summer.
I absolutely love bandit but for me convoy is the all around trucker movie
You've got that right.
Smokey and Bandit definitely # 1 just for Jackie Gleason 1 liners.
Highballing should of been on this as well as Joy Ride. Another kind of good one was Thunder Run. Few others but all good!
Breakdown and Joyride are good too
I totally agree with you that "Smokey and the Bandit" should be #1,but I was shocked that you failed to mention Jerry Reed! He and Fred were my two favorite characters in the whole movie.
My favourite were Smokey and the bandit , convoy and Big Rig
They Drive by Night 1940 staring George Raft, Humphrey Bogart, ida Lupino and Alan Hale.
You can flip 1 and 2 all day long.... So I would call it a tie.... but I had to pick just 1 it will always be CONVOY
Some I remember was battle truck and thunder run. I had to buy French version of convoy because the UK version was cut. Someone didn't like the guy mooning out of the window. Lol
Black Dog, Convoy and Smokey and the Bandit are my all time favs
If you talk about trucking movies i think Convoy is the absolute number 1. Smokey and the bandit is a great movie but the truck is not the big star in this movie , that’s the pontiac firebird. So if you talk about a real trucking movie is Convoy from my opinion the real number one..
As well as the songs
@toiletpaper5770 yeah that's one of the reasons it's my fav
That's a big 10.4 come on back
@@stevestone9327 10.4 good buddy over
Smokey and the bandit has the cooler truck but convoy has the better trucking story
Love oldskool America trucks especially the old macks and internationals (stubby chassis) but the UK have some realy cool old trucks my favourite British is Foden
Smokey and the Bandit, Convoy and High Ballin’ (Also staring Jerry Reed).
Hey pilotleader, I liked all those, went to see smokey &the bandit when it first came out,my brother took me to see it.
Convoy! I was little boy whatching this movie in old school style film cinema. No digital effects, Huge trucks, action, rebelion against system, simple but romantic story :) Some childhood impressiosn stays through all life :) Rubber Duck forever! :)))
have you ever met a duck that couldn't swim?
Hey tarie, was just a young fella but I did get to see that movie it was good too.
Need to mention "High Ballin" staring Jerry Reed and Peter Fonda. With the IRON DUKE k100 cabover Kenworth And although it was not really a Trucking movie "Big Trouble in little China" Staring Kurt Russell. I love that Freightliner in that movie, the old Pork Chop Express
You know something? When you mentioned the movie Convoy, it actually reminds me of the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa in early 2022
DUEL. And that Peterbuilt. Jheeze Louise,that scared the, you know what outta me as a kid.
one of trucking movies the great smokey road block starring henry Fonda
Black dog all of them but black dog hit the number one spot
Black Dog just because it had Meatloaf in it 👍🏻😂
Great list. But for me no1 should be convoy. Its a pure truck film
Love them old cab overs.
Especially the ones with an old two stroke Detroit under the cab.
Don't forget High Balling with Jerry Reid and Peter Fonda.
Smokey and the Bandit wasn't really a trucking movie, Convoy should have been number 1 .
I came to the realisation that the type of movies i grew up watching and loving (CB, Car Chase and Trucking) were dying out at a very young age but now being 54 years old it had never crossed my mind back then that we’d never see them again.
Those great days are sadly gone but thank god we still have all those great movie memories
One film that should at least get an honorable mention is "Breakdown" with Kurt Russell from 1997. Great thriller movie that hooks you early and makes you want to watch to the end. For me it should be on the list. Just my .02
My No,1 Is Duel. No 2. Maximum Overdrive. 3 Convoy. 4 Smokey and the Bandit. then the Rest
"Auf Achse" see the job in Europe during the 80s
Hijack is a great one too. Convoy,Hijack and WLF will always be the top 3 for me.
Maximum overdrive is my all time favorite movie... Glad it made the list.
I always liked Maximum Overdrive the girl married to Curtis in the movie voices Lisa on the Simpsons
Convoy/Smokey and the Bandit/ Highballing/White Line Fever/Great Smokey Roadblock/Duel/ Moving On/ BJ and the Bear those are my top eight. Thirty-one years Over the road. I’d say I have a little opinion.
Best list on here!! Dead on hand!!
Could have road games from 1981 and Australian film starring Stacey keach and jamie lee curtis.
Yes , of course und Mad Max 2 from down under , ok witch was not came out in the 70years . Gut Two Great Films.
One forgot put was very good to from 1978 Ontario Canada one called High Ballin' done by CBC company and had Henry Fonda in to plus others ! 1st Convoy , 2 Smokey & The Bandit , 3 BREAKER BREAKER !
Peter Fonda
I’d put Breakdown, Terminator 2 and Transformers 3 up in there also
Breakdown yes. But not terminator 2. That just had a truck chase in it. Same with transformers.
@@animaltvi9515 freightliner trucks are heavily featured in T2 and TF3 Optimus finally gets his trailer I guess
I'm shocked "Christmas comes to Willow Creek" isn't on this list. It features two truck driving brothers, Tom Wopat and John Schneider (who became famous as the Bo and Luke Duke), driving a load of toys from Los Angeles, California to Willow Creek, Alaska. The movie sets up that there's something off about the load who and the man behind it, a Willow Creek native who left to start his own trucking business who in deciding to give back to his hometown had the town Santa at the general store name one toy each kid in town wanted. The town itself is down on its luck as the only big business in town, a canning factory, recently closed. The story worsens for the town when the old man suffers a heart attack and has to hire Schneider to replace him, a wild child that only he and his brother Wopat can control. Wopat's driver has increased worries when his son gets into trouble and, in an effort to spend more time with him and keep him out of trouble.
The main rig in the movie is an early '90's Freightliner Classic with 70" sleeper running a west coast fuel setup(Four large tanks).
This movie got played at my house every Christmas in a truck driving family and still holds a special place in my heart for a heartfelt Christmas.
Sounds like a movie I need to see
Smokey and the bandit is never better than Convoy.
1st Duel -because it is a thriller, well built, brought new perspective to Hollywood, and you can recognize the work a future genius: Spielberg
2nd Convoy because Sam Pekinpah made a western with trucks... Yes it is a western movie with outlaws behind wheels running to Mexico and not an action movie
3rd Over the top because it is one of the best road movies, shows a father's drama, very human, and emotional a real journey
4th Black dog, the drama again, and when Swayze's charater is telling the story of the Black dog... huh... yeah that's catchy
and on the 5th place may come Smokey and the bandit. Why? because it is just chewing gum for your eyes nothing else. Yes it is rock n roll, yes it has semitrucks, but shallow
Only remember watching 2 of the ten trucking movies because during the time they were brought out didn't have time to watch them because was a truck driver myself! Valued my sleep all during that time period of my life was being watched over never had any wrecks at all just fact!
I think Convoy is #1 c'mon
1. Convoy it carrys (my fav one) 2. Black Dog (love the 379 and the way Prarick Swayze drives it and how the 379 sounds) 3. Smokey and the Bandit (was my #1 when i was younger and i absolutely love the 1972 W900)
There’s a few more honourable mentions:
Iceroad
Big Trouble In Little China
Paradise Highway
Flatbed Annie & Sweetiepie: lady truckers
Highballin
The Great Smokey Roadblock
Also Joyride and Highjacked. Loved Highballin, Jerry Reed and Peter Fonda were great in it!
Duell number one for me !!! 😍
You also forgot the movie silent thunder aka revenge on the highway. It is a true story about the son of claude sams getting killed by a truck while changing a tire. Claude sams takes a job as a trucker so he can find the killer of his son.
Both Smokey and the Bandit and Convoy was and still is the top two truck movies of all times. I think it’s time that Hollywood should remake both movies and when they do, they will use one of today’s trucks as the leading vehicles for both.
Thank you 🙏 guys for this video it was a great 👍 🤩!
Convoy was the first movie I was allowed to watch alone on an evening when my parents went to visit some friends... they told me to go to bed right after...
of course I didn´t and watched the horror-thriller that came after, too... Funny enough, I absolutely don´t remember the second movie, but Convoy will always be a special one to me ;)
I've always liked Joyride. I didn't hate the sequels either but like 95% of movies with few very rare exceptions, the first is always the best.
Like in Duel the trucker in Joyride is never shown either, at least not his face. Even the trucker we see at the end isn't the man that's been chancing our leads as we hear him again on the CB radio, it was instead the body of the ice trucker driver that returned the leads debit card.
Joyride was a great film. I didn't hate the sequels either. But as you said, in most cases the sequels just don't live up to the original
The one entry, Big Rig, is as authentic as you can get. No actors, no climax, just real things happening every day.
The other movies on this list inspired me to become a driver and have been for about 20 years now.
I remember a movie The Great Smoky Rockblock from 1977. Henry Fonda was in it.
There is also a german series "Auf Achse/wich means "on axle" or better....to be on the road" The series started in 1978 and was made around two german truckers and their tours in all kind of countries. While trucking was the main focus, you could call it an action-series. The series got renewed several times until the early 1990s, but withe the replacement of the original actors, the later seasons lost their charme. The series was groundbraking in a few points. It was the first time that cameras had been mounted outside a vehicle for a long time, the on location people had not been dubbed and there were no subtitles, so the audience would have the same problems like the drivers.
The intro is known to every german from the 70s or 80s. "Franz Meersdonk, Günter Willers and their machines (trucks) 320 HP. They haul scheduled freigth into many dfferent countries....you can count on them"
There was also a similar Italian tv show,it was called "due assi per un turbo",from the 80s,i don't know if it had an english name or something,but,as the name says,it featured a red Iveco Turbostar,i know that there are some episodes here on youtube iirc
Thr giant demonic face on the truck in Maximum Overdrive is actually the Spider-Man villain Green Goblin.
Don't know where they came up with "John Steele Terrent" for James Brolin's character in Steel Cowboy...his name was Clayton Ray Davis!
Breakdown with Kurt Russell had some crazy truck driving action in it.
I just watched that movie it’s awesome
@@Poorboyzgarage447 Me too, watched it a month ago.
What about high ballin?
Missed the movie “think big” with Peter Paul and David Paul with their blue peterbuilt.
You left out a lot of trucker movies that are unbelievable. Moonfire. High Ballin. Thunder Run. Think Big. Willa.
The face on the truck from " Maximum Overdrive" was the "Green Goblin" from Spider-Man comics and animated shows. Rubber Duck was the driver. At least you got the "Smokey and the Bandit" details right. Except, you left out Frog and The Snowman.
Exactly it was his CB handle he won't answer to anything else...
The Narrator knows jack shit...
I guess you've never woke up in the hospital from a dead sleep wearing nothing but a hospital gown,crying Eleanor, I'm coming for you sweetheart, Eleanor
He definitely forgot all about the snowman so why don't we just introduce him to the boy, hang on your ass Fred,
@@mudduck754 "Cuz the Snowman is comin' thru!"
Big Trouble in Little China is not bad. There's High Ballin, The Great Smokey Road Block and the earliest They Drive By Night that has Bogey driving.
Loved everyone of these moves!
Always loved that 4X4 van in Breaker Breaker
Not sure how good Duel was .. but it was Intense.. Dense Weaver played such a nerdy timid charactor .. where as he was a really cool dude as McCloud
White Line Fever , Jan Michael Vincent definitely was an Underdog to route for in the movie..
Top 3: Smokey and the Bandit, Convoy, White Line Fever.
I agree with this line up. Smoky and the Bandit being #1. I like how it was said it was remembered by it characters, but how and the hell, do ya forget to mention, Jerry Reid! The actual truck driver! Also one sick ass guitar player, but that has nothing to do with this. Jerry was the real star in tye film. Really should have been mentioned.
Convoy and smokey and rhe bandit are my favorite movies. Aint make them like that anymore
Joyride 2001
The Long Haul 1957 from UK, starring Louisville, Ky native Victor Mature and British Marilyn Monroe, Diana Dors.
White line fever, convoy, smoky in the bandit, and in that order are my favorites.
I’ve always loved the movie, White Lion fever to me. It’s the only movie that ever came close to telling the truth about the trucking industry.
Best three is White Line Fever, They Drive By Night (Humphry Bogart and George Raft) then the Movin' On series.
My entire life is a big roadmovie by truck.....inspired by the German tv series *Auf Achse* when I was young....most of the American truck films i have also seen in those times....☝️😃
Convoy IS THE BEST, White line fever,, Blackdog, there is a lot of truck movies that was not there. Any truck movie are great movies.
Have them all but others are / Hi ballin 1978 starring jerry reed , Smokey & the bandit 2 /Trucking buddy Mc coy 1983 / Hijack 1973 / Thunder run starring john ireland. Top 3 for me are convoy ,black dog & duel .
I'm sad that Thunder Run didn't make the list. It's a bit cheesy, sure, but that rig was badass.
I have the DVD of Smokey And The Bandit and Breaker Breaker... Hope to add more of these to my DVD collection someday..
I totally enjoyed this.
I need to watch a few of these.
How dare you didn't mentioned jerry reed " snow man " !!!!
Big Rig... Inspired Ice Road Truckers from the History channel. Think about Deadliest Catch but on the road.
To be fair I have not seen all of these moves. Of the ones that I have seen my top 3 are
No 3, White Line Fever,
No 2, Convoy,
No 1, Smokey and the Bandit
Good review, I will have to watch some of the others on your list.
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 👍
In this list I’d add sorcerer, mad max (any of them), and paperback hero.
For an often overlooked Australian classic trucking movie, I'd recommend the 2009 movie "Prime Mover", with prominent Australian actors such as Ben Mendelsohn and William McInnes..
Add on paperback hero, and you’ve got a deal
There was another movie, it was called Coast To Coast & starred Dyan Cannon, I can't remmeber exactly what it was about but the truck in the movie was a GMC Jimmy General. The final scene in the movie has Cannon driving the truck into a mansion & that scene is also in an episode of The Fall Guy for all of us who remember that show starring Lee Majors & the super hott at the time Heather Thomas...
That movie is called hijack i believe
After 46 years on the road retired white line fever wish all you the best rugged lifestyle
They Drive By Night (1940) is also an excellent trucker film
Convoy is my ultimate nr1
There is one you definitely forgot....Thunder Run I think 1986
One that you missed is High Ballin with Jerry Reed and Peter Fonda.
My favorite movies are Smokey and the bandit and convoy. In Smokey and the bandit my favorite character is snowman, (Jerry Reed) and the rubber duck driver it’s been a while so i don’t know who his character name is but kris kristofferson (don’t know how to spell his last name either)
Truck topia sending quality content as always. Keep going. 10/10 video
My favorite is movin on and bj andthebear
Maximum overdrive is awesome
And more Must-See Trucking Films: "Hitcher The Highway-Killer" With Rutger Hauer; "Truck-Driver" With Stacy Ceach, "Trucks out of Control" This Film is the Answer of The Film "Maximum Overdrive" (Rhea M.) "Joy Ride3" "Truck-Driver2" (Python) With Stacy Ceach and The Blonde Lady Named Python in The Yellow Kenworth-Truck
They forgot High Balling
The " giant demon face" on the 18 wheeler is that of Spiderman's worst enemy, The Green Goblin.
With Convoy, one fact that was cut from the final edit that explains Dirty Lyle's obsession with the duck, is that Violet (the woman from the diner) is Lyle's wife. Hence the references from duck saying 'When you gonna leave that fella of yours', and after Violet frees Lyle form the barstool he says 'I will deal with you later'. This fact was in the original edit of the film, but the edit was over three hours long, and the part that explained the affair was cut.
I don't think the original Pekinpah edit exists, but if it does, I would love to see it.
I would as well, makes a lot more sense now as to why he said that...
Most of us figured it out from the inference. Picking things up based on context seems to be a lost art these days.
Duel is a classic everybody should. Know it
