I'm the worst pilot ingame ya know!!!

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

Mischief 3000

Even though it's not a car flick honorable mention goes to Ronin for one of the best driving scenes ever.
To each their pwn.

Uptown, most of those should be available on DVD.

Bullitt and Ronin are tops.

  For most people the sky is the limit.  For a pilot the sky is home.

+1 for Ronin. Funny this thread came up, I just watched it again last night, and the wife saw it for the first time. OUTSTANDING 4 wheel action in that flick.

Bullit had the coolest car chase scene.  The suspense before it starts is amazing.

Duel was a great movie that still holds up today.

Road Warrior and Ronin were very good.

The car chase in Bourne Identity was awesome too.

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

Would have to say 

          Bullit
          Ronin
          Mad Max
          Duel

and surprizing no one mentioned this 1970's flick, at the time i guess they called it "scary" but its some good laughs  :rofl

Well for individual scenes you gotta go with the Blues Brothers.  Multi-police car pileup, and dropping a Nazi-driven car from a thousand feet up.

I'm a Ford guy, but I'd love to have this car from another good chase flick.



Beautiful lines to me, only surpassed by the 68 390 GT in Bullitt, as Highland Green is my fav. color ever to adorn a car.

Where is Smokey and the Bandit???

I've got Bullit and Vannishing Point on Bluray.

I've yet to see Two Lane Blacktop.  I've only heard good things about it.  As soon as it's on Bluray I'll get it.
