personally for me Grand Prix with James Garner gets my vote. Cars from an era when the formula spec cars were truly beautiful and the camera work in Frankenheimer's movie was fantastic.
I remember an article in (I think) Popular Mechanics at the time that had a lengthy article on how that movie was filmed. Really cool stuff, a then-current F1 car rigged up as a camera car (fixed), a sports prototype rigged up to carry a cameraman, and a dummy F1 car on a lazy susan on top of another F1 car that was used to film spins.
