Winter is coming, and when it is cold and showing out, it is nice to sit down and either read a good book or watch a good classic film. There have been many films in the past set in the Model T era. One of my favorites that I plan to watch again this year is Gandhi, which features the British officer driving up to squash the peaceful demonstration in a Model T touring.

What other good classic movies can you list that have a shot of a Model T or feature a Model T in some way? I know that Charlie Chapman and Buster Keaton will be some so the featured actors as we'll.

Stargate. :-) The opening scene takes place in 1928 but features a 1926-27 Model T Touring. Look fast--It's only on screen for about 10 seconds.

Perfect Day and lots of other Laurel & hardy films. Also It Happened One Night, in which the Model T's unique controls are featured in one of the gags.

Young Indiana Jones and The Charge of the Model T's come to mind.

The thing I remember about Young Indiana Jones is that the director and the actors had no clue how to drive a Model T.

Reply to Rodrigo Nunes Ricardo:

The name of the movie was Kid Galahad.
I think it may have been a '23 Fordor.

Hope this helps!
