7. Gone In Sixty Seconds (2000)

This remake of the 1974 original does everything right. The original was one of the strangest films ever made, with stitched together scenes of cars and stunts directed by stuntman H.B. Halicki. The remake is slick, and smooth with an all-star cast. Nicolas Cage plays a master thief who needs to steal 50 cars in 96 minutes, or his brother will be killed. Gathering together a team of thieves, he sets off on his mission. In typical Jerry Bruckheimer fashion, the set pieces are ludicrous and the action is eye-popping. The final chase scene alone is worth the price of admission, as Cage roars around in a 67 Ford Shelby GT500, with what looks like every cop in the city chasing him. At one point a car get flung through a wall by a rogue wrecking ball, adding some crazy to the mix.
