Yup, havn't ever seen one since as good as that one. Seen some good ones, but not of the same caliber in my opinion.

In no particular order:

"Bullitt" (see above)... part of reason I like video from Sheryl Crow's song  "Steve McQueen"   since they use some scenes from it.  It's the first, and still among the best.


(http://ia.ec.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/96/51/39m.jpg)

"The Chase".   It's just funny.  The wreck of the truck hauling cadavers is a classic.  


(http://ia.ec.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/39/67/30m.jpg)

"Bourne Identity", The(2002) and  to a lesser degree (as far as the chase)
"Bourne Supremacy", The(2004).  Biased, as these rate among my favorite films.


(http://ia.ec.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/23/59/06m.jpg)

The remake of "The Italian Job".   Mini-Coopers in the subway and everywhere else.


(http://ia.ec.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/97/56/48m.jpg)

"Ronin".  Just some good work in this film.


(http://ia.ec.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/64/82/25m.jpg)

"To Live and Die in L.A."  Another classic.  Led the "against the freeway traffic" car chase.


"The French Connection" (1971)  Car chasing a train.


(http://ia.ec.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/99/74/45m.jpg)

"Striking Distance" (1993)  City street chase early in film up and down Pittsburgh's hills while father and son cops have heart-to-heart talk.  Personal angle, I grew up a hour east of Pittsburgh.


I'm sure I'm missing something from a Bond film or elsewhere, but these are the one's I remember when I think about a car chase scene.

Transporter I

Matrix Reloaded (the second movie) the car scene was awesome

Blues Brothers

Terminator II with the harley was cool

Striking Distance chase was kind of cool

The Dead Pool with Clint Eastwood being chased by the remote control RC-10 with the corvette body was cool as heck to anyone into RC cars back in the 80's

the end of the new Dukes of hazzard movie was a cool car chase

Bullit.

Remember eagerly going to see it when it came to a Theater near You (and me) of course.  When that Charger...which wasn't posi btw.....only one wheel smoked chased Steve McQ in that Mustang I was in Mopar Heaven.

Great cast J.Bisset, Steve McQ, and Robert Vaughn.

Compared to more recent movies it is semi-tame, but at the time of its release it was freakin amazing.

The last ten minutes of the original Gone In 60 Seconds. Excellent real time chase scene. The rest of the movie was quite bad due to terrible acting.

I'm guessing that's it. I mean, not having it on the big screen probably takes it down a peg too.
