    The "original" Gone In 60 Seconds. Starring Eleanor, a 73 Mach 1.
    Right after he takes out the light pole on the freeway (which wasn't part of the script), a 60's falcon Ranchero drives right in front of the camera.

  2. Yeah I have that movie on DVD. I think it's the only chero in the movie.

    And...

    In the scene where Starsky and Hutch pull up to the bar looking for Big Earl, outside is a gorgeous black 71 :cool:

    actually, it might be a 70... the shot is from the back

    I took the family to see the new movie: "Marley and Me". Early on in the movie there is a scene of a '70's Ranchero. By the way, it's a great movie. Apparently it is #1 at the box office. Hollywood insiders attribute the first place finish to the scene with the Ranchero!

    Think I've got a new sighting -- movie called "Without A Paddle"; about 17 minutes into the main feature the road trip buddies are in a backwoods town somewhere in Oregon and there's a kinda nice yellow '70 - '71 with the paint stripe down the side. Appears in several scenes.

    Can't recommend the movie -- a sort of latter day remake of Deliverance -- 3 amigos go off on an adventure in the wilderness to find DB Cooper's lost fortune, but they encounter crazed dope farmers. Even has Burt Reynolds in a small part but it's nowhere near as good as the original.

    Did anyone else see the green 68-69 Ranchero on the new episode of "The Closer" on TNT tonight? For a minute I thought it might have a major role in the show because they had a really good shot of it.

    The movie: "Broken Flowers" starring Bill Murray shows a derelict '57 Ranchero in one scene. It is not worth watching the movie to see the Ranchero or for any other reason!

    In Throw Mama From The Train -- about 13 minutes in, there is a rear-view of one of the chunky cheros in a store parking lot, has a white shell on it. Not seen after that.

    The movie is fun, though.

    In the Clint Eastwood move Gran Torino, there's a Gran Torino. That's almost a Ranchero I guess.

    You'd have to stick a cannon ball up my butt and shoot me through the front door of a movie theater to get me to see that movie. Too Brokeback for my tastes. Nice to hear a Ranchero was in it though. Probably a Fishmouth.
