Our friends at FilmDrunk are reporting that Universal Studios has green-lit "Fast Five," which would be the fifth installment in the "Fast and the Furious" franchise.

Wow. That's a lot of burning rubber. "The Cannonball Run" was only allowed one real sequel, despite a cast that included Burt Reynolds, Terry Bradshaw, Jackie Chan and a monkey.

Does this mean "The Fast and the Furious" ranks among the best car movies of all time? Hardly. But it certainly adds credence to our theory that Paul Walker has pictures of Universal executives in very compromising positions.

Of course, there have been a ton of great car movies produced over the years. We've listed a few, but realize we are only scratching (keying?) the surface.
