The cars that made the stars<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s that time of the year again when we applaud our favorite films, swoon over celebrities, and then laugh at them (thank you, Ricky Gervais). It\u2019s the Golden Globes!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look back at some of the famous rides that made some of this year\u2019s nominees shine in their most (in)famous roles. <\/span><\/p>\n

Leonardo DiCaprio\u00a0from \u201cThe Great Gatsby\u201d<\/h3>\n

The roaring 20s certainly roared a little louder in Baz Lurhmann\u2019s 2013 adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic, thanks in no small part to this beauty, the 1929 Duesenberg J<\/a>\u00a0Jay Gatsby\u2019s (Leonardo DiCaprio) eight-cylinder ride of choice is reportedly worth upwards of $3 million today, and at its time of production cost more than six times the average annual income. Though it\u2019s still debated whether Gatsby would have driven this exact car (the novel is set in the early 1920s), it was the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of its time and can still turn heads.<\/p>\n

A decent substitute could be Jeremy’s ’57 Porsche Speedster replica.<\/p>\n

Matt Damon from \u201cThe Bourne Identity\u201d<\/h3>\n

Ever the consummate spy, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) \u201cborrowed\u201d this worn little classic and took it on one of the most memorable chases<\/a> in film history in 2002\u2019s \u201cThe Bourne Identity\u201d, careening throughout Parisian streets to evade police. Five different vintage Minis were used during shooting with only one left standing by the end (ouch). The now-famous scene further solidified Mini\u2019s legacy as a spy film staple for generations to come.<\/p>\n

Al Pacino from \u201cScarface\u201d<\/h3>\n

Al Pacino was already a mob film legend thanks to \u201cThe Godfather\u201d series when he uttered perhaps the most famous six words in film history: \u201cSay hello to my little friend!\u201d Though we\u2019re pretty sure he wasn\u2019t talking about his ride, Tony Montana\u2019s 18.5-foot-long signature yellow 1963 Cadillac Series-62 Convertible. When it rolled off production lines, it came with more than 143 interior options, the most of any vehicle at the time. Tony\u2019s tiger print upholstery wasn\u2019t one of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christian Bale\u00a0in\u00a0\u201cThe Dark Knight\u201d series<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s face it. Nothing matches the speed, styling, and power of Batman\u2019s Tumbler\u2026unless it\u2019s the Lamborghini, Bruce Wayne\u2019s (Christian Bale) favorite supercar when he\u2019s not saving Gotham. At 640 horsepower and costing more than most mortgages, the Murci\u00e9lago (\u201cbat\u201d in Spanish) is Bruce Wayne\u2019s \u201csubtle\u201d choice<\/a> for saving employee-turned-attempted-extortionist Coleman Reese in 2008\u2019s \u201cThe Dark Knight.\u201d For filming, the crew was given three by Lamborghini, crashing one on film in the process. Of course, Mr. Wayne upgraded to the 691-horsepowered Aventador LP-700 for 2012\u2019s sequel \u201cThe Dark Knight Rises,\u201d and all before the production line had even finished. Rumor has it, Warner Bros. was the recipient of the very first completed Aventadors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see who walks away with an award and who drives away in style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
