'Bullitt' - 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390

The 1968 action movie "Bullitt" starred Steve McQueen as a San Francisco cop. Its most famous sequence was a 10-minute car chase jam-packed with shots of his 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 negotiating the city's treacherous hills at high speed, becoming airborne several times.

One of the things best remembered about the chase is the car itself. It has remained so enduring that the Ford Motor Company produced a limited edition GT with the "Bullitt" nameplate in 2001, and again in 2008.

Iconic Movie Cars 00

Movies may fade from memory, but a cool car is forever. The 2003 remake of "The Italian Job" is a case in point. It did so-so box office and got fair-to-middling reviews, but everyone who saw it remembers the stylish Mini Coopers used in the film.

The 2005 film version of "The Dukes of Hazzard" is another example. It was eaten alive by hostile critics, but the movie posters featured a "General Lee" Dodge Charger like the one on the beloved original television show. Its presence on the poster likely sold a few tickets through pure nostalgia alone.

The following list features 10 iconic cars from Hollywood. Some appeared in classic films, while others were featured in movies of lesser esteem. All of them made strong impressions on filmgoers—and even on those who never saw the movie the car was featured in.

Read ahead to see CNBC.com's list of 10 cars from the silver screen whose memories have hung around long after the credits rolled.

"The Car Chasers" airs Tuesdays 10 p.m. EST/PST

Car, JJ from Criminal Minds

Prentiss: Well, I think it's safe to assume that our UnSub is male.
Hotch: I agree with you, given what we know about aggressive driving and road rage.
Prentiss: And the fact that men have an unnatural bond with their cars.
JJ: That is true.
Morgan: Wait a minute, I don't know about "unnatural".

JJ: I once dated a guy who washed his car more than he washed his hair.
Rossi: A nice car needs love.
JJ: And a woman doesn't?
Rossi: I'm not qualified to answer that.
