Sorry if this has been done but...

There are many great car chases but I feel many have been made unrealistic by technology.
What are your top 3 car chases?

Me:

1). 1974 Gone in 60 seconds
2). 1969 The Italian Job
3). 1968 Bullitt

and you?

I like the one in the 1980s film "Against All Odds" and the tribute to it in the 2000s TV series "Entourage".

Is that the one with the Beautiful E34 M5 and the top of the range Peugeot 406?

Always thought it was an odd matching!

+1 more for Ronin!

- Also love the Bad Boys 2 car chase
- The short car chase at the beginning of Quantum Of Solace
- The Dead Pool with Clint Eastwood - trying to get away from the RC car bomb!

What about the car chase with the mini in Bourne Identitiy, I always thought that was pretty good.

I know the film was awful but I like this:

The car and the music from 1:30 on, love it.

Robbery. Peter Yates struts his stuff here before getting the Bullitt job on the strength of it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlFAn_8vuig
The two chases are quite similarly played out in very different settings, with a grittier, more realistic ending in Robbery as opposed to that in the more "Hollywood" Bullitt.

The Driver (1978) - I liked the car park scene.
Vanishing Point is okay too.

And a 605, an XM, some Mercs and an S8.

Made cooler by the fact that Skipp Sudduth done nearly all of the driving in the S8 himself.
Errr...This film has one of the worst continuity errors I have ever seen
