That Ronin chase was pretty awesome for sure.  Bullitt also, was pretty damn excellent.  The best I've ever seen though was the old school original Gone in 60 seconds.  Almost the entire movie is one long incredible chase.  And we can't forget Vanishing Point either can we??

Tells you a little history about the mall and what they did to it during the filming.

My understanding is they were still paying for that scene up until recently.  I guess it cost a lot of money.

French Connection.

A car chasing an elevated train, and having to go against traffic while dodging the train line's pillars? Genius!

no one going to mention the car chase in the opening of the first Transporter movie? Putting aside the part where he bashed the car through a concrete bridge rail and lands on a car carrier truck, I love that car chase.

dukes of hazard.

and allso the chase seen in "The Town" where they are dressed up as nuns, trying to outrun cops in a minivan while shooting at them.

funny ending too, when they get out of the jeep later on, then turn to see a cop watching them as they unload the money. cop just turns his head like "i didnt see nothing"  :rofl
