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.
on that note how could anyone forget Jesse's Monte Carlo?
Breaking Bad's show runners did a fantastic job of pairing cars with characters. Walt's Aztek fit his character perfectly.
There was Badger's Fiero:
Skyler's Grand Wagoneer (and her sister's New Beetle):
Walt Jr's PT Crusier, which epitomized dorkiness:
And Saul's sleazy Caddy:
And finally, Walt and Walt Jr's "I don't give a berkeley anymore, we are rich now" SRT goodness:
Even Better Call Saul is starting strong with Saul's POS Suzuki Low Self Esteem:
The Daewoo Lanos garners the best line in Pineapple Express: "You just got killed by a Daewoo Lanos, Motherberkeleyer!"

I'm half tempted to take two containers over there and stuff the best ones in them along with a lotta parts. They have been sitting in the desert since the 1940's; put aside missing lights etc check out the condition of the sheet metal.

What about the 4 cars Rusty won in Vegas Vacation? A Viper, Mustang, Hummer, and Aspire. I so wanted to win a car the next time I went to Vegas. Yeah that didn't work out. Let's just say I would've much rather drove cross country in an Aspire than ride the train in Chicago at 2 am after a 4 hour delay in Denver. Creeeepy.
Man that Viper's paint job was nasty. Red with yellow wheels? Looked like that cliched McDonalds Donk picture that's been floating around for years.
still on the breaking bad topic.
Gus Fring's sensible Volvo wagon could not have been more perfect for him. Completely under the radar.
