Mischief 3000
Even though it's not a car flick honorable mention goes to Ronin for one of the best driving scenes ever.
-
Uptown, most of those should be available on DVD.
Bullitt and Ronin are tops.

+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.
-
DeNiro did the driving in his car, so no stunt driver wss used. He was duct taped to the seat as well.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Where is Smokey and the Bandit???
I second this
-
Where is Smokey and the Bandit???
I've never seen it. Never seen Jaws either. :rofl I plan on rectifying this very soon on both accounts.
-
Gone in sixty seconds.
-
Jerry Reed + Burt Reynolds + Sally Field + black Trans Am - Elephants = Epic win.
-
Never seen Jaws

Cars

Grand Prix directed by John Frankenheimer gets my vote. I realize its more of a racing film than a car film, but the footage of Spa and the banking at Monza alone are worth the price of admission.

Duel, American Graffiti

Just finished watching Two lane blacktop!
I had not seen it in a long time, it really took me back to the good old days!
I have disc two loaded for tomorrow, I can't sleep now, but the ol' lady wants to go to bed so I guess i will have to wait till then to see whats on it!

Did you know that the car in that movie is the same 55 in American Graffiti....the one Harrison Ford drives. I read that a while back in HotRod magazine.

I did not!
if that is true then they did a lot of work to it in between films, I really got a kick out of the Plexiglas side windows and how much trouble they went to , to make every detail about the car being a race car.
but then some of the races were crap, the funny cars went all the way down the track on there burnout runs and the 55 missed a gear on his solo pass yet ran a low 12 the announcer said

found this website about the 55
http://kathyschrock.net/graffiti/55.htm
it gives a pretty good detail of the 55, when you first posted about the 55 being the same car i was confused, I thought "Graffiti" was filmed later, and i was right, but there were 3 "55's" and they did change out the doors as well as a few other things, I knew i did not see the motor in "graffiti" and thought the story called for a 310,(327/ 283 cross),, the same motor my dad had in his 55 Chevy that ran mid 11's in the late sixties!
they never showed the car motor in the second movie leading me too think they rebuilt the car after "Graffiti" for two lane, but the dates did not work and Hollywood does do some strange stuff so it now makes perfect sense!
http://twolaneblacktop.yuku.com/
this is another web site for Two lane blacktop,
only two of the three cars still exist, the camera car for Two lane is now restored to the "Two lane" car setup, while the other one is set up in "Graffiti" trim .

Hot Rods To Hell. 1967
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAnWqWXd66M
And the best chase scene ever?
Its in the 1st 5 minutes of Super Troopers, when the guys are parked on the side of the road and a cop pulls in behind them and yells through the loudspeaker "pull the car over".
