One of the details is what car is going to be featured in the film. Whether it plays a starring role or is simply used in a single scene the right car makes all the difference.

These films helped to make the Camaro not just a famous car but also a pop culture hero.

So, let’s take a look now at some of the best Camaros to ever make their way onto the big screen.
1. ‘Eat my Dust’ (1976) – 1968 Camaro SS
One of the corniest films on the list. The plot, if you can call it that, is that a Sheriff’s son and his girlfriend steal a car and go for a joy ride, while the sheriff’s team tries to catch them.
The cool part is that the car they steal is a 1968 Camaro SS that according to the movie puts out an impressive 700 horsepower. Even with a young Ron Howard in the starring role the best thing about this film is the sound of that Camaro tearing up the roads.
