A different kind of Charger movie thread

[Ghoste]

We all seen (and will again) the endless threads about naming every movie with a Charger in it.  I'm just curious which ones you consider to have a Charger in a significant portion of the movie.  This eliminates things like the 66 in Ed TV or the 68 in Rush. 
I would offer the obvious ones first like;
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry
Big Fish
Bullitt

Any others?

I liked "big Fish" because...well, it was a danmed good movie, but also because the Charger was just regular transportation in the movie and not some kind of "getaway car."  Also, it is one of the few movies where they call it a "Charger" by name.

[Ghoste]

It was used as a getaway car briefly though.  Hey, now that I think of it, one of the Canadian print ads for the 66 Charger featured the caption "Great Getaway Car".

new version of "Vanishing Point" - 1968 Charger R/T

You mean the one where the cop says "It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar" 

[Ghoste]

   Pretty much the highlight of that whole remake wasn't it?

   Wasn't there a movie made for TV called the Gladiator...or something like that.   It had a Black 69 Charger in it!!

The movie Christine had a 68 in it.

Some of the Gladiator cars were actual General Lees.  Don't forget the '70 in Fast and Furious.  When the crap hit the fan, he had to revert to the big bad Charger...and even with a blown cylinder was able to beat a 10 second nitrous injected turbo Supra.    It is also believed that the '69 in Forever Young was a real GL also.

I don't mean every movie that ever had a Charger in it though.  I'm talking about the ones where the Charger plays a significant role in the film.
If you feel Joe Dirt or Blade qualify, I want to know why?  Not being sarcastic either, I'd really like to know your reasoning.
I would say Christine just has the 68 as a minor appearance.  I don't recall them even really talking much about the car.
F&F would count wouldn't it?

Well the F&F charger would apply because like Wakko said, when all his rciers failed, he had to go to the one car that scared him!

[Dale The Bold]

I think Joe Dirt qualifies because it was the junker he drove most of the movie.  They told how he got it, they did the spoiler gag early on.  It had a lot of memorable scenes.  It became a signature of the movie as much as the one in Big Fish did.

In Blade, it's basically his Batmobile.  Although, it gets so little screen time in the second film that I wouldn't count it.  I haven't seen the third one.

[Ghoste]

I've seen the second Blade but not the other two.  I had heard the car got more "grille" time in the 1st.

[Dodge-Charger]

Just watched The Adventures of Super Dave. They have a 69 or a 70 Charger that he uses for his last jump. They did some messed up stuff to that car. The Charger was shown for about 20 - 30 min of the movie. So I guess that counts.
