I liked Ronin, French Connection, and Lemans.
Bullit was modified too much in the editing room, a single section used twice from two different angles, sections shot out of sequence. Dang cool though.

ya, i noticed that.....if i remember, didn't the stang lose 5 hubcaps during that chase?


also forgot? can blue thunder count? it was sorta/kinda a car chase......with a groovy cool helicopter too :aok :D

Naw, it was the Charger losing its hubcaps if memory serves me right. I didn't count them though.

There is nothing like the real thing. Believe me.

And I dont ever want to be in another.

My favorite movie one? A toss up between Bullit and The Seven Ups.

I still like the Bumblebee/Barricade chase from Transformers. I mean come on, how can you NOT like a car chase that's followed up by the CARS beating the crap out of each other?

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
