Best Car Chase in a Film

[davel*]

Inspired by Parrot of Doom's posting in the E34 M5 vs W125 500e thread pointing at this video here what would you say was the best car chase in a film?

[Fleckers]

Bullet
Convoy
Smokey and Bandit
French Connection

Bullitt springs to mind obviously. Then there are lots of cheesy offerings from the Bond films. Deathproof has some fun driving in it too.

Vanishing Point

[Asterix]

The Bourne films did a great job. I remember being in the cinema and after the Moscow chase (2nd film) you could hear a collective exhale as the whole place had been holding it's breath.

Never understand Bullitt - driving past the same car 15 times down a hill doesn't do it for me. Nice sound perhaps but even that was faked!

Ronin was good.

Gone in 60. 1974 version. 40 odd minutes non stop non cgi.

And Vantage Point.

Those two astras doing battle was refreshingly different. IMHO

Blues Brothers.

The bourne Mini chase was pretty intense, and the one in Moscow was mad.

The Highway chase in the 2nd Matrix wasn't too shabby either.

anything that doesnt involve a super/ sports car that is somehow kept up with my big standard police cars driven by beat bobby cops

Goldeneye - for the Aston and Ferrari at the start then the famous tank chase.

Duel - the entire film is one tense, long chase.

Ghost Rider

(The Swedish one, not the Nicolas Cage film)

[Pints]

Italian vs. British
And utter disregard for the machines involved.

True, but there's much better stuff out there - like Ronin.

Ong Bak in the Tuk Tuks is a clear winner
