Admittedly they aren’t movies, but we’ve been enjoying the car-related episodes of the National Geographic TV series Ultimate Factories. The first one we saw featured the Lamborghini factory in Italy — although the narrator stressed the precision of the car assembly, intoning over and over how the various steps were timed and completed in exacting increments, the amount of hand-work and manual labor was stunning. Especially compared to the subsequent episode on assembling Cameros — hardly a human in sight, only robots. Somewhere in the middle was the next episode on the Porsche factory.
You can see many of the shows online or snippets on the National Geographic website.
