I vote for them all! I like all the previous votes. Smokey, Duel, Overdrive, Blackdog, and I was surprised to see B.J. McCay and the Bear (or Sherriff Lobo) show! I love that one as a kid. Oh, and Joyride can to mind before I found another post for it. Candy Cane......CANDY CANE!!!! That show freaked my wife out! She hates it when I say CANDY CANE!!!

Duel is a classic man that is probably the best in my opinion. Smokey and the Bandit is one of my all time favorites but more so for the car not the truck.

What about "Over the Top" with Stallone? He was a truck driver in that one......pretty good flick!

There was a movie on sci-fi where semi's became possesed and starting attacking and these group of kids had to out run them. That was cool but the name escapes me right now.

Duel is a good one. Does anyone have anymore info on the truck? Year, engine, etc. I wish my truck could sound like that truck!

White Line Fever is the diesel movie of the millenium. Duel and Smokey are both great too. The Road Warrior has a few good scenes.

It's an ole needle nose Peterbuilt, looks like a 63 or so. From what I remember (sound) it had a detroit in it. But you never can tell with Hollywood when sound dub there effects.
