The Blues Brothers often gets over looked because it's a comedy, but the chase in that is probably the best ever.

The French Connection is amazing because of the emediacy and raw urban brutality of it.

The truely over rated one is Bullitt. What in the world is so great about this chase?

Bullit is great because it is the birthplace of all modern chase scenes. You can look at Bullitt and see stuff that films are still using today. And on top of that it has great cars and great driving. It's dissapointing to see people mark off Bad Boys 2 as a great chase scene when most of it was CGI and there was little real driving done, while ignoring Bullit because it didn't destroy 50 fake 3D cars.

Agreed. This is easily in the top three, and probably #1.

I am pretty surprised that The Bourne Identity didn't make the list, but good to see it getting props in here.

Ronin is definitely on top though. Frankenheimer really got it right.

hey, there may be some cgi enhancements, but most of it was real.

You're talking about the first car chase in Bad Boys 2 right? When you say 'most of it was real' how much do mean? Almost every shot I saw was CGI enhanced.
