Hacks in the movies

A friend just alerted me to a movie called Garden State that features a rider who owns a sidecar.

I'll have to see it, but I was wondering about other movies that have featured sidecars. I can't think of any, but then I have only been interested in hacks for a relatively short amount of time.

Any recommendations?

Horrible movie. Sneak a bottle in. On second thought, I don't think that would make it tolerable.

Indiana Jones snd the Last Crusade has one. Much better movie.

1. Seance on a Wet Afternoon (1964)
2. Wallace & Gromit in A Close Shave (1995)
3. Duck Soup (1933)
4. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
5. Eau chaude, l'eau frette, L' (1976) aka "A Pacemaker and a Sidecar"
6. Hell's Angels (1930)
7. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
8. I Was a Male War Bride (1949)
9. Regel nr. 1 (2003)
10. On a retrouvΓ© la 7e compagnie (1975)
11. Beach Blanket Bingo (1965)
12. Love, Speed and Thrills (1915)
13. Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine (1965)
14. The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002)
15. Hard Knocks (1979)
16. Fidanzati della morte, I (1957)
17. Sidecar Racers (1975)

And what about one of the best movies with a sidecar, The Great Escape with Steve McQueen?

There are a lot of movies like The Great Escape, especially war films that feature a sidecar somewhere in the background, but the ones above actually have principal characters in or around one. I'm sure there are a lot more, those were just the ones I could come up with on a moment's notice. :0} Thanks to http://www.imdb.com

The lead character in "Turk 182" drove a rig that was supposed to be an old Indian (I think it was) and who can forget Strawberry's rig in Cheech and Chongs "Up In Smoke"?

Going out on a limb here, but didn't Clint Eastwood make a movie with an orangutan? Also, the English culinary show "The Two Fat Ladies" (or something like that) featured two women in a sidecar. Triumph-Watsonian I think.
