Hollywood loves Porsche and has often used their presence as a visual shorthand to represent style, performance and taste. Here are a few of our favorite Porsche movies:
Best Movie with a Porsche in a Speaking Role: The 2006 animated classic Cars featured the show stealing sassy, winsome Sally Carrera, the blue Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe with the heart of gold, voiced to perfection by Bonnie Hunt.
Best Coming of Age Movie Featuring a Porsche: Tom Cruise and his white BVDs achieved certified stardom in Risky Business, with dad's sleek 928 Coupe serving as a key plot element.
Best Use of the Porsche 356 as a Symbol of Authenticity: In Top Gun, Kelly McGillis is an implausibly young and beautiful flight tactics instructor. Her restored 356 convertible becomes a clear symbol of depth and authenticity.
Best Movie featuring a Porsche Supporting an Unlikely Hero: In the 2004 suspense flick Cellular, the film's young hero is the Porsche's spiritual owner - borrowing it from Mr. Vanity, and careening around Los Angeles on a heroic mission to find trapped heroine Kim Basinger.
Best, All time A-Number One Porsche Buff Movie: Yes, Steve McQueen's 1974 masterpiece Le Mans features more high-speed road-racing footage than any other Hollywood effort in history.
