On the heels of yet another movie promotion for Pixar's Cars, Cars.com (natch) has gone and selected what it considered the ten best movie cars of all time, along with five it figures should've been earmarked for the compactor.

The envelope, please ...

Best:

1. 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, "Back to the Future"
2. 1961 Ferrari 250 GT, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (for completists, that's a 250 GT California Spyder SWB, guys)
3. 1974 Dodge Monaco, "The Blues Brothers"
4. 1964 Aston Martin DB5, "Goldfinger"
5. Batmobile Tumbler, "Batman Begins"
6. 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390, "Bullitt"
7. 1959 Cadillac Ambulance, "Ghostbusters"
8. 1958 Plymouth Fury, "Christine"
9. 1973 Ford Falcon, "The Road Warrior" (pictured)
10. 2003 Mini Cooper S, "The Italian Job"

1. 1983 Ford LTD Country Squire, "National Lampoon's Vacation"
2. 1974 Dodge Tradesman, "Napoleon Dynamite"
3. Winnebago Chieftain, "Spaceballs"
4. 1984 Ford Econoline, "Dumb and Dumber"
5. 1963 Volkswagen Beetle, "Herbie: Fully Loaded"

Technical details, unique features and an explanation as to how they ranked the vehicles are at the link. Apparently, we've got more love for the Griswold's metallic pea-soup Wagonqueen Family Truckster than the folks at Cars.com. C'mon... where's your sense of humor, guys?
