Best Diesel Related Movie Ever?
What do you all think? My vote is for Smokey and the Bandit 1!!! One of the best movies of all time!

Smokey and the Bandit came to mind first as well. Convoy and Maximum Overdrive deserve honorable mention. The scene in the Hitcher when the girl was tied to the semi tractor also sticks in my mind.

Gotta love all the CB lingo! Convoy was a good one too. Smokey and the Bandit II was ok, but III was only so so......

Never have seen Duel. When did it come out? The Road Warrior had some pretty good diesel scenes too.

Is Duel the one where Dennis Weaver was being chased by a semi, and he driving an old Dart?

Smokey and the Bandit is a classic. The Rubber Duck gets my vote though

One trucking movie I remembered back from the early 70's had two Macks in it, a cabover and a conventional.
Anyone remember the name of this movie?
