What was the pre-Jaws Speilberg movie where a tanker truck chased Dennis Weaver all over the desert?  

Not Bullit, but a decent chase.

>just remembered.  'Duel'

The Audi S6 (?) in Ronin sounded amazing. Great chase scenes.

Bullet takes the prize though

Duel - that film scared me witless as a kid. It's like the truck becomes monster and has a will of its own - more so because it is anachronistic, being quite an old truck.

I'm surpirsed no one mentioned Vanishing Point. You guys haven't seen it yet, or you just think it's not worth mentioning?

MAybe it's only  a car movie, not a car chase movie to some of you.

With regard to "The French Connection" chase... I don't get it.  What's the appeal with this car chase? It came after the first Bond car chases, and after Bullit, and it really did nothing for me. It was mostly empty street straight line business. What am I missing here?

I was sure you were wrong and TFC was older than Bullitt.... but I was wrong.

The French Connection - 1971
Bullitt - 1968

Also might have set a record for least amount of dialog in a movie.
