Best/favorite car chase scene
 

Best- still French Connection (imo, bullit feels too scripted)
favorite The Rock (lots of cool crashes)

Best Ever - French Connection ( My favorite movie )

Other Greats- Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry
Magnum Force
The Driver
The car vs. r/c toy chase in The Dead Pool ( Stop laughing )
Oxygen ( Adrien Brody vs. Maura Tierney )
The Fast & The Furious/ 2 Fast 2 Furious
To Live And Die In L.A.

Ronin had a great one.

Some faves off the top of my head:

French Connection
Swordfish
Speed :p
The Matrix Reloaded
T2

Bullitt
Vanishing Point
Road Warrior
Gone in 60seconds(original)
Eat my Dust

The Blues Brothers

My favorite is definitely Ronin. French Connection and To Live And Die In L.A. are also great.

Another vote for Ronin.

Those in The Driver (1978)

I think the chases in Ronin top those in Bullitt and French Connection.

Diva has a very cool moped/foot/car chase.

Road Warrior and Mad Max are pure genius.

One I like a lot is the brief slow speed chase in The Way of the Gun. It's silly, but still tense.

A favorite is a scene in Gun Smith Cats ;)

Any scene with the Coyote from Hardcastle & McCormic,

The Rock, no question. Love that scene.

Hear the Ronin one is good...the Transporter chase was pretty good too.

Another vote for Blues Brothers.

<b>Matrix Reloaded</b> - a 14 minute supercharged chase of operatic proportions

Any of the ones in BMW's The Hire.

I'd like to add Moonrunners and Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry to this list.

:up:

Ah yes, Walter Hill's The Driver.

This is on the top of my most wanted DVD list. I have the import laserdisc (never released domestically on LD) but a widescreen SE would be most welcome.

I like the opening sequence to 'The Transporter' but my favorite chase scene is from...

Bullitt

The French Connection
Bullitt (you have to count the hubcaps)
Go
The Italian Job (2003)
The Matrix Reloaded

To Live and Die in LA

Italian Job, The Rock, French Connection.

Definitely The French Connection. That scene is terrific. :up:
Also, Hostage, Ambush, and Ticker from The Hire series.

Absolutely agree with "To Live and Die in L.A." and "Dirty Mary Crazy Larry".

Also like the one in "The Seven Ups".

(Anyone reminded of the Pontiac ad with the blindfolded guy?)

Am I the only person, then, who found the chase scene in The French Connection underwhelming? All I heard about for seventeen years of my life was how great this chase was, only to be hit with something that didn't excite me at all.

The Road Warrior
To Live and Die in L.A.
Ronin
Fast and the Furious
2 Fast 2 Furious
Beverly Hills Cop

ronin by far

My vote definetly goes to Mitchell.

Right On! :up:

Nothing can match that beat up brown chevy with an obsessed Hackman behind the weel

The To Live and Die In L.A chase going against the traffic was well done also

Friedkin is the man!

yes..Your the only person :)

Ronin by a long shot. I can think of no film that generates such tension with car chases and still maintains such an incredible level of realism.

If you just want to see things crash and blow up, I'd have to say Matrix Reloaded.

Bullitt would be my personal fave.

THE CHASE!

hahah j/k I had to say that anyway because it was amusing as hell. :P

Ronin seemed like a two hour car chase with some dialogue thrown in a couple of places. Somehow, I still enjoyed it (the great cast helped)...

Bullitt gets my vote, with The French Connection second. Also, while not a car chase, the moped chase scene in Diva is great.

I would vote for the classics: Bullit and French Connection. More recent favorite is Ronin.

Have to go with Ronin.

Most mentioned here already.

Bullitt
French Connection
Ronin
Vanishing Point
Duel
Red Heat (bus vs bus!)

I agree. I really enjoyed that sequence.

Ronin, of course, and Bullitt.

One not yet mentioned that I enjoyed was the fairly short chase sequence in The Peacemaker. I liked how Devoe remained the aggressor, even while being chased. The end of the chase sequence, where:

Bullitt
