Murder By Death, a hilarious spoof of classic detective novels featured several cool cars in the opening scenes:
As John Wayne attempted to transition to action films in the 1970s (Westerns had fallen out of favor) he made several 'cop' movies. My favorite was Brannigan:
1974 Capri "I waited a year for delivery!"
It's hard to believe this was just an old car that could be crashed. 1966 E-Type:
Ditto the '64 S-Type:
John Wayne also made "McQ" which featured a few cars and a really brutal rollover stunt.
'69 Plymouth Belvedere:
1973 Chevy Impala:
1973 Trans-Am:
War of the Roses
Edit: That 1960 Morgan +4 Roadster was bought from the film company and restoration started by new owner, was featured later on Chasing Classic Cars.
Witness, an Amish/cop thriller with Harrison Ford was filmed very close to where I live. The VW wagon was sold at auction after the film was over...I actually was behind it being towed with a tow bar one day, the auction notes still scrawled on the rear window. Always wondered what happened to it.
Better Off Dead '67 Camaro. This car was actually found and rescued.
Not a movie, but 'Breaking Bad' was full of some of the best 'also ran' and 'under the radar' cars you'll ever see. All the stars had them but my favorite was Mike's Fifth Avenue:
followed closely by Jesse's Toyota Corolla wagon.
Molly Ringwald's ghia in Pretty in Pink:
Gotham on Fox has some great cars of the last 30-40 years.
The Dart from 10 Things I Hate About You.
In reply to Appleseed:
Hey look, a CRX.
Watched that movie any number of times and never noticed.
The Longest Yard (original):
Movie said it was a Maserati. Clearly it's a Citroen. Apparently it's has a Maserati motor in it as the result of Citroen buying Maserati.
Bunny Lebowski's manual trans XJS:
Chief Brody's Blazer in JAWS
Porsche 356 in Highlander.
The Chevette from House Party.
Not a movie car, but what about the futuristic car from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers "You Got Lucky" video? It sorta looks like something they found on a Hollywood backlot leftover from Logan's Run or some other 70's sci fi show/movie. Video also has a cool motorcycle sidecar too.
Chevy Sports Van Ambulance from Mother, Jugs and Speed
Sylvester's Dodge Dart from Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
American Grafitti 1958 Impala, to me the best looking car of the bunch!
Autobianchi Bianchina from the original Pink Panther:
In the early 1970s Disney made several movies with Kurt Russel as a college student. His vehicle of choice was a Meyers Manx dune buggy.
In "Now You See Him, Now You Don't" the bad guys inexplicably drove a 1951 Hudson Wasp.
