McKeel: The Cars and Car Movies That Move Me

A writer for Hagerty’s Movies and Cars project explains why certain on-screen vehicles and films stand out. The piece centers on three “greatest of all time” picks, beginning with the Aston Martin DB5 from the James Bond franchise. The DB5 debuted in 1964’s “Goldfinger” and became as iconic as Bond himself, helped by gadgetry associated with the car—machine guns, an ejector seat, and revolving license plates—whether or not the technology appeared in the cinematic extras. The article frames these choices within Hagerty’s celebration linking car culture to the silver screen. It is written as a personal contribution to the project, with visuals and an embedded photo credit.
