Editor’s note: As 2018 drew to a close, we shared our favorite car movies as an alternative to the Hallmark holiday movies that some people watch this time of year.

“Only when he’s together with his friends, a ‘Mod’ clique, cruising London on his motor scooter and hearing music such as that of ‘The Who’ and ‘The High Numbers,’ does he feel free and accepted.
“However, it’s a flight into an illusionary world.”
