Much of the first half of Psycho takes place in Janet Leigh's car. She also
buys a used car in this film, in an agitated state.
The opening "nightmare" sequence of Fellini's 8 1/2 features Mastroianni
trapped in his car, in a traffic jam. This reminds me of REM's video for
"Everybody Hurts," also

Also, _Signal 30_ / _Red Asphalt_ etc.
Might be worth dipping into related media of the early 60s -- Beach

Tex Avery's _Car of Tomorrow_ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bBpDNRP5qQ

You've quite a list forming here: industrial, underground, experimental,

Here's 2 contemporary commercial films that probably should be in the mix for
better or worse. Tarantino's DEATH PROOF (2007) and Nicolas Refn's DRIVE
(2011).

Also, "The Car of Your Dreams" is a wonderfully crazy compilation of car
