Movie stars

The real stars of the movies are the cars. Cars are deepening the actors character, you can perceive the era of the movie and desired mood -think about for example black Citroen DS with it's yellow lights driving in a  rain or little wretch teacher driving his Volvo 240 estate... How about if the Herbie would be a Toyota? Some things just doesn't work.  Here's listed the movie star cars and even cool glimpses of cool cars in cinema.
