Movies that feel likeFord v Ferrari (2019)

American car designer Carroll Shelby and the British-born driver Ken Miles work together to battle corporate interference, the laws of physics, and their own personal demons to build a revolutionary race car for Ford Motor Company and take on the dominating race cars of Enzo Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France in 1966.

If you loved Ford v Ferrari, the closest films we have are Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023), A Taxi Driver (2017) and Ip Man 4: The Finale (2019). All three share Ford v Ferrari's epic and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Deep Water (2006).
