Looking for some suggestions of DVDs I could get my 7-year old nephew, who is absolutely nuts about cars & motorbikes and not much else. Don't want anything too dialogue heavy, cos he has a really hard time concentrating on that stuff. Basically it's gotta be lots of stuff going zoooom! and brrrrrrrm! and neeeeeoooooow! Any ideas?

Oh, and he has seen 'Cars' about a zillion times so we're trying to diversificationize him.

Montecarlo or Bust
The Blues Brothers
Maybe a bit young for the Gumball Rally or Smokey and the Bandit but give it time.

Herbie does/goes to/whatever _________

Speed Racer cartoons would probably be too clunky/old-fashioned, but you never know. Assume the Wachowski Bros. flick'll be on DVD before too long. 2nd the Herbie flicks, which I loved as a kid. Haven't see the Lohan remake.

The old herbie flicks are way way better than the lohan remake.

Ed, Friday, 22 August 2008 17:11 (seventeen years ago)

didn't see the lohan remake but that sounds about right.

it sounds like there are cars inside the kids, and that the kids require special movies because of their condition.

Ah, yes forgot about the Herb, that's a great idea. Thanks for the suggestions so far.

two lane blacktop, vanishing point, thunderbolt and lightfoot, etc.

chicago kevin, Friday, 22 August 2008 20:37 (seventeen years ago)

the plot would probably go over his head but if all he's looking for are cars....

chicago kevin, Friday, 22 August 2008 20:38 (seventeen years ago)

Don't remember if it has any cars, but would he like Inspector Gadget?

rrrobyn, Friday, 22 August 2008 21:04 (seventeen years ago)

a friend said she picked up the criterion edition of two lane blacktop so i think i'm watching that tonight? if not then i'll go up to odd obsession and rent dirty mary crazy larry for like the 80th time. i'll pretty much watch anything with adam roarke, warren oates, peter fonda, or any combination therein.

Ned Trifle II, Friday, 22 August 2008 21:19 (seventeen years ago)

My niece and nephew liked Rat Race when that came out. I don't remember there being anything that bad in it that a 7 year old couldn't handle.

svend, Friday, 22 August 2008 21:39 (seventeen years ago)

Besides it being REALLY STUPID.

Abbott, Friday, 22 August 2008 21:48 (seventeen years ago)

haha ILX has no clue what is age appropriate for a seven year old.

Super Cub, Friday, 22 August 2008 22:13 (seventeen years ago)

Deathproof

As a kid I thought the Herbie movies were boring.

abanana, Friday, 22 August 2008 22:43 (seventeen years ago)

Me tooooooo.
