As I read your comment, Rag Doll, by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, fired up in my head. 🤣👍

I'm nearly 60 and have never seen this movie!

That's how I met the monster truck of my dreams. it was messed up and angry sounding but I fixed everything and now I could just hug and kiss it every day

I purchased a ragdoll van from an auction. I showered her with love and affection....she returns the favor by breaking down on me in a highway. I guess I should thank her for having enough in the tank to get to the shoulder. After that experience I went to a dealership and purchased a vehicle.

I liked it when he first brought it to Darnell's garage, "Shut it off, shut if off.......[bleepin'] shut it off."

Every scene looks great, not a single bad shot in this movie.

That's because the boy had good hands. Good hands.

Yes. I just noticed that. How inviting indeed.

@kas8131. Arnie would be a car salesman 's dream customer.

buy far one the best movies ever

Have read and re-read this one so many times. Love it.

Really 🥱

@@mikrof467 KICK ROCKS!!

It's just fair.

Sadly she chooses u lol

"Driver don't pick the car, the car pick the driver"

That's my brother's wife's name. Yeah, he's f-kd too. Lmao

The car chooses the owner, Mr Potter.

In other words, she's a cat.

LaVey* Same name as the head of the Church of Satan, Anton LeVay.

He is also the neighbour of Kevin McCallister. Mr Marley

He was also in Flashpoint.

He was. Good character actor. His dialogue was great in this scene.

Old man marley in christine

@@brownandwhitebull4262 it’s funny how he doesn’t look that much older like 8 years later in 1991 or whatever When the first home alone came out

Oh? It's rated pretty highly by just about everybody. A classic

I have an infatuation with 1958 so probably not cool for my psyche

The books even better

Absolutely correct. I put off watching Christine for thirty two years because "Eh, it's an evil car? Sounds stupid. Next." Then I was in the middle of a John Carpenter retrospective and I was blown away when I got to it. Fantastic film.

Same with the book.

The book was great. And this would have been better if they didn't do heavy editing that made the plotline skip quite a bit. Like Arnie just suddenly showing up with a perfect car and a perfect girl that his pal tried to ask out.

😂 I just did that with Robert Blossom’s character. I haven’t seen the movie in it’s entirety in several years.

Me too 😂😂

she purrs like a cat when started because she knows arnie loves her

She'll start...

Why would you do that? An Edsel was one of the ugliest cars ever made.

@@fframer1 58 edsel maybe, but not christine

@@fframer1 One man's junk is another man's treasure.😎

It's the combination of the perfect score plus perfect casting that makes it a masterpiece.

The book tells alot more then the movie!

@@exxxz1999 valid point. How about cgi destruction only?

There's plenty of back story in the book. Not every movie character needs a movie about where they came from or why they turned out like they did. Just leave the story alone and enjoy it for what it is.

Definitely read the book, you learn a lot more about all of the characters.

nobody could direct it like jc who also composed the sound

That really does sound like a trip through hell 😂

That's a scary movie.

Yeah, but she still wouda been an antique!

@@Bubbles99718 don't you mean vintage 😆

@@jacobmassey3897 Said antique in the clip. So yep, he's the dork, not me. :)

She did !!!

I thought that too.

cause she was.

She's bad to the bone

@@Bubbles99718 beh-beh-beh-beh-bayahd?

God damn the 80s were cool

​​​@@n0body016 How about the 90's and 00's? Former had rock and roll, with latter there was anime as sprinkles on top! Alpha Teens On Machines married these perfectly.

@@n0body016 I Loved The 80's

@user-zz4lj7le1f Last week, I bought one just like it, I'm sure mine is long gone by now

I’ve had a few loves I regret letting get away. Two of them were cars.

She’s a 57

@@okieg8960 And Belvedere

I meant to respond to you directly we are here where they were built there is no way in hell I can afford that car I can make due with a former police car with a V8 engine in my other comment I mentioned Louis Chevrolet the famous race car driver long live France thanks for your countries contributions to the automotive industry we still call it a chassis directly from your language and I think garage is French as well

She was a 58 all new cars for the next year was made in the current. Plus if she was a 57 she would been built in 56.

where's GERMANY when you need them?

That's a good idea

yea, my thougt as well, that's why the old guy refuses to say a price. No point selling christine if she doesn't want them. The wrong owner probably couldn't have started her.

Correct. christine had felt the love, and acted upon it.

I saw this movie when it came out in 1983-1984, and that point didn’t even cross my mind.

​@@Jay20112968 yeah, and we can see Arnie's physiognomy changing.

In a way he was the real villain in this flick

same old man from Home Alone lol.

He was in a number of movies including Heat of the Night, Close Encounters, Last Temptation of Christ.

He should be playing his dead brother spirit, who actually does all the things happen. IDK why this character was supressed from the script.

Same! Those were the days!

We all did back in the day.

Still doing it. Driving a 65 Chevy II wagon pulled out of a barn 2 years ago. Nice car.

@@paulhare662 yes it is a very nice car it has my family name on it I am related to Louie CHEVROLET I have nothing but CHEVROLET in my garage

I did the same thing, minus the "really nice" part...

I sure dont

That generation had it better than the ones after it. Being born in the 30s meant they were too young to remember the Great Depression, too young to deal with WW2, grew up in the post WW2 economic boom, fought and easily won in the Korean war and weren't hated for it. And had access to many many good paying union manufacturing jobs with good pay and pension plans.

​@@neoasurablame the globalist governments for our current predicament.

​@@neoasuraDon't forget the white, male part. 🚘

I disagree that is the name of an insane fiance, ask me how I know.

1987 Chevy Sprint Turbo, I miss her dearly.

My 1st car was a 1980 Toyota Tercel. Senior year in HS, '86. Worlds of difference between that and Christine but yep, I loved that 5 speed little hatchback scooter

I'm in the process of giving my first car away to the appropriate car club, it's a 1959 Ford that I got when I was 18 years of age - ALMOST 53 years ago. It still hurts.

@@david.m.304 That's awesome you were able to keep it that long though.

My first got got totalled but I still have my second car after 38 years... It's a joy to drive, like an old glove. Analog all the way.

You can't just say you have that many cars without elaborating. I was born in '87 and only have 6 (5 running) so far. What all do you have?

@@zchris87v80 hello mate, my daily is a volvo s60 deseil. Beautiful peice of equipment. Then there's me daimler xj6 series3, me long time suffering range rover classic, his father the land rover series2, the land rover defender, 4 more classic range rovers( they're not running) me mums old jaguar xj6 series 3( that needs some work doing to it, mainly welding) a dereliction Peugeot 405 estate( that was a good car, done over 100,000 mile on chip oil)and 5 more land rover series 2 and 3 that need rebuilding. 3 of which are in bits( I shall do them up and sell them, along with the 4 range rovers) Mum's jag was fantastic, you could travel 200 mile and not feel tired, although the wallet felt as if it had a kicking🤠. I love them all, they're my suroget children. I'm not a millionaire, I bought them when they were cheap and undesirable. It's been good talking to you 👍👍👍👍👍

@@liamhollin8265 sounds like some great collectibles. I've got a Peugeot transmission, when AMC decided it was good for the first year Jeep Wrangler (1987). I've got a few Nissans (maxima, xterra with the somewhat rare 6 speed manual and 4wd, and a 370z) and my collectible is a restored 1964 Mercury Comet.

@@zchris87v80 hello mate, they sound 👍 👍👍👍👍👍

A lot of 80's movies were One-Hit Wonders and should've been left alone as far as a sequel. There were some terrible sequels in the 80's. There's a rumor Hollywood's doing a remake.😝😝

,.... Yeah, dear ADAN ~ A HELLISH LOVE !!!!!! BERNIE / GERMANY

Christine wasn't possessed, the car just grew a sentience, and every person she killed was someone that treated her wrong, or beat her up

@@samuelhaverghast2442 so very true I agree treat a car with love n kindness n the car will be loyal to it's owner 😁🤩✅👍

My fav scene is when Christine gets destroyed by the bulldozer in the final ending but still refuses to die but eventually the dozer wins 😁👍😃

I bought a 2002 Honda civic for $500 a couple years ago. Aside from oil changes and gas, haven't spent anymore and she runs killer. I will drive it until it won't go anymore. Still some deals out there.

My first car was a 1970 Plymouth that cost $375 in 1986. Of course I was only making $3.35 an hour at Burger King ...

His movies and books are full of that stuff. I love it.

Considering it was his brother's car and he knows its personality, he probably wants to get rid of it more than anything.

@@Giles29”of course The car came back 3 weeks later” Dennis: ”what do you mean came back?”

You can buy a decent car for that money Arnie!! Not even in 1982 was that true.

@@spudhandle The plot was set in 1978. In 1989, fresh out of high school, I was able to fuel up with 87 octane for 94 cents a gallon in a $400 riceburner. There were deals out there if you were patient and diligent.

In a pure cold thinking, well, even costly vehicles are better in a relationship that costly people : The vehicles, at least, never fall out of love with you xd.

He came out with a movie similar to this one called Trucks.

You realize "the car" wasn't John Carpenter's idea right?

Wasn't the fact they were jealous it was more that they saw what the car was doing to Arnie

My dream car. I'm saving up for one but they are so pricey I don't know if i'll ever get there but I'm sure as hell gonna try.

​@@wendaltvedt4673one of my favorites too. ❤

In the wiki it says she was paid for the day Lebay picker her up. He owned her for 21 Years. Explaining how she got in such bad shape. I think they changed the timline a bit for sake of the screen Play and movie script.

Who later did well in college. Even made the dive team! (Back To School. Lol)

The scene were he grabs hid dad's neck , he looks possessed lol. This has always been my favorite movie. My dream car is in it. Sky blue charger with the black top. Hellbitch

Damn Right......

The 67 to 68 Camaro was the nicest car in the movie

That 68 Charger is the greatest car ever.

I literally just found that out when I looked up the actors in this movie. I was shocked.

I've owned a few beater cars in my life and they seem to always turn out to be the best cars.

I remember watching the documentary on the gun trucks of the Vietnam War and the us soldiers made them for anything

He couldn't afford to buy the car if it looked to be in decent condition.

@@spaceflight1019 No, it was to see if someone really was interested. Remember, you could "buy a really decent car" for what Arnie paid for Christine.

@@twoeightythreez In 1975 I bought a used 1971 Fury police interceptor in Columbus, Ohio for the princely sum of $600. It had a U-code 375 horse 440 Magnum. It was in way better shape than the Christine car. But... If Arnie had, behind the scenes, done his homework and learned that the Fury only came in gold and white, meaning that it had been repainted, and that it had its original, numbers-matching drivetrain including the dual-quad hi-performance 318, or the Golden Commando 350, then $500 was a screaming deal...assuming that the frame wasn't rotted through.

@@spaceflight1019 It was special ordered red, you could do that way back then.

@@robertmorris8997 Interesting. Since everything I can find about the Fury indicates that the white and gold paint scheme was standard a special order could make the car a one of one. The alternate ending has Arnie making bank after the car pulls six figures at an auction...

Are you sure

Buy the DVD ;)
