The 20 Best Convertibles In Movies

Convertibles show up a lot in movies. They're not only cool cars, but they make it easy for filmmakers to show you the actors while they keep the scene moving along.

Check out The 20 Best Convertibles In Movies.

Movie Title: The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane (1990)
Driver: Ford Fairlane
Played By: Andrew Dice Clay

Complex Says: Great car, but we can't help thinking that we'd want something less recognizable if we were detectives. We know, we know; not the point.

Movie Title: My Cousin Vinny (1992)
Driver: Vinny Gambini
Played By: Joe Pesci

Complex Says: It's true. The car really does make the man. Here's proof.

Movie Title: Taxi (2004)
Driver: Vanessa
Played By: Giselle Bundchen

Complex Says: Using two M3 Cabrios to commit a robbery isn't a bad idea. Transferring money between the M3s and Belle's (Queen Latifah) taxi during a high speed chase? That's another story.

Movie Title: The Italian Job (1969)
Driver: Charlie Croker
Played By: Michael Caine

Complex Says: Everyone thinks of Minis when they think of The Italian Job. Perhaps that's because the heartbreak of the crushing death of this poor Aston is too painful. Apparently, someone didn't listen to Vincent Vega's advice about how to respect another man's car.

Movie Title: Pulp Fiction (1994)
Driver: Vincent Vega
Played By: John Travolta

Complex Says: Quentin Tarantino bought this car after he sold the script for True Romance. In this clip, Vincent Vega and Lance (Eric Stoltz) explain proper and polite car care etiquette, using the Malibu as an example.

Movie Title: Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom (1984)
Driver: Short Round
Played By: Ke Kuy Quan

Complex Says: Sure, it's Indiana Jones' (Harrison Ford) name above the title. But Short Round did an awful lot for Indy in the Temple of Doom. Rescuing him in a 1935 Auburn 351 Speedster was just the start.

Movie Title: Go (1999)
Driver: Zack
Played By: Jay Mohr

Complex Says: A Miata isn't ideal transportation for a body. But it can be done if you're clever.

Movie Title: Weird Science (1985)
Driver: Gary Wallace
Played By: Anthony Michael Hall

Complex Says: It's a story we're sure you've heard before. Two teenage computer geniuses manage to create a hot girlfriend for themselves. Oh, and she's considerate enough to conjure up a Ferrari and a Porsche for each of them to drive.

Movie Title: 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)
Driver: Suki
Played By: Devon Aoki

Complex Says: If you'd bet against this S2000 just because it's pink, think again.

Movie Title: Thelma and Louise (1991)
Driver: Louise Sawyer
Played By: Susan Sarandon

Complex Says: At the end of the film, you watch this T-bird fly off into the sunset. Happy ending for Thelma and Louise. Sad ending for the car.

Movie Title: True Romance (1993)
Driver: Clarence Worley
Played By: Christian Slater

Complex Says: This is a public service announcement: if you're going to rip off the mob, choose a more nondescript car than a classic purple Cadillac convertible. Like a Toyota Camry; those are everywhere.

Movie Title: The Hangover (2009)
Driver: Doug
Played By: Justin Bartha

Complex Says: This is a truly great car. But we felt so sorry for it by the end of the movie.

Movie Title: Sin City (2005)
Driver: Dwight
Played By: Clive Owen

Complex Says: We shouldn't have to tell you how much ass this Caddy kicks. It's one of the only vehicles shown in color in Sin City. That should tell you everything.

Movie Title: Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)
Driver: Austin Powers
Played By: Tom Cruise (film-within-a-film), Mike Myers

Complex Says: The Shaguar appeared in all the Austin Powers films, and was a different Jag in each one. But our favorite Shaguar scene comes from the beginning of Goldmember, so it was the obvious choice.

Movie Title: Wayne's World 2 (1993)
Driver: Wayne Campbell
Played By: Mike Myers

Complex Says: Wayne's World 2 featured a spoof of The Graduate at the end, complete with both an Alfa convertible and some chickens. Oh, and Charlton Heston.

Movie Title: Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (1998)
Driver: Dr. Gonzo and Hunter S. Thompson
Played By: Benicio Del Toro and Johnny Depp

Complex Says: It was a tough call between this and the 1971 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado that also shows up in this film. Double convertible bonus.

Movie Title: Rain Man (1988)
Driver: Charlie Babbitt
Played By: Tom Cruise

Complex Says: Somewhere, we're convinced someone must be assembling a collection of all the models based on all the cars Tom Cruise has ever driven in films. Are there models of this Roadmaster convertible? Absolutely.

Movie Title: Scarface (1983)
Driver: Tony Montana
Played By: Al Pacino

Complex Says: Clearly, the lady prefers zebras to leopards as her jungle print of choice for Caddy couture.

Movie Title: The Graduate (1967)
Driver: Benjamin Braddock
Played By: Dustin Hoffman

Complex Says: We don't care what anyone says. The first thing about this film that seduced us was that unbelievably sexy Alfa.

Movie Title: Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Driver: Ferris Bueller
Played By: Matthew Broderick

Complex Says: If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would we.
