What are some of the better car chase/crash movies?
My son is really into car chase/crash movies. He loves 2 Fast to Furious and sequal, Gone in 60 seconds etc... but there really does not seem to be too many out there like that, he is 12, btw so R rated is out of question. He also has seen Smokey and the Bandit and liked that so any suggestions would be great.
Thanks in advance...

edit: despite the rating, i can't think of anything in The Blues Brothers that a 12 year old shouldn't see. No nudity, no sex, no deaths, and maybe one or two "shits"

The Driver. $7.18 at DDD. From '78 and sTarring Ryan O'Neil, Review from www.filmcritic.com:
And DVDTalk's review:

No names. Literally. The Driver is one of those films where no character's name is ever given, and its too-cool-for-school sentiment bleeds through the entire production. Ryan O'Neal is the title character, a heist getaway driver with mad skills like you wouldn't believe. (The scene where he proves his merit in a parking garage -- all but demolishing the ride along the way -- is worth the price of admission alone.) Sadly, there's a plot attached to this, with Bruce Dern the cop who's always one frustrating step behind the driver, but this movie excels so greatly during its chase scenes that you'll forget about all that business.

The Driver has the best and most extensive car chases I have seen.
