Does anyone know of any? I'd really like to see something like this, even if it's a documentary. Already saw Greased Lightening.

Anything and everything.

Thanks!

I believe "Walking Tall" the original was about moonshining and gambling.

There's an old black & white film called "The Transporter", it deals with runin' shine.

Thunder Road: Robert Mitchum, '49 and a '57 Ford were the "car stars." A classic, IMO.

Yup!
Remember this well, JJ loved '40 Fords, IIRC he had a stable of like 40 of them, all black.
Also love how he told about how they used to put a switch in for the brake lights. When they were being chased at night by the law, they would turn off their brake lights so the cops wouldn't know when a turn was coming up. They said they saw a lot of their headlights going off into the woods......
