Best movie/chase ever made

[Nacho-RT74]

what in your opinion is the best movie AND cars chase scene or scenes ever made ? I have my fav even haven't been able to see complete the movie, just parts of it... the chases BTW LOL, but as far I has been able to see the movie itself is really great!!!

[71ChallengeHer]

The original Gone in 60 Seconds.

[69bronzeT5]

Im the same way..I usually only watch the chase scenes. Some of my favorites are the chase scenes from Bullitt, Vanishing Point, Gone In 60 Seconds (both) and um....the Dukes movie (2005)

Hmmm.. i was just watching The Seven-Ups (1973), Roy Schieder in N.Y.C  The driver of the blue Pontiac is the same guy who drove the Bullitt Car and they copied the sound FX too

Bull, you've been uptight lately    I did a search for the best car chases and when I looked at that poll they were all good.  So, I posted it.  That is when I noticed Bill Hickman.  Besides, most of the movies that everyone has said is in the poll. 

[NYCMille]

Hmm... tough one.

- Mad Max
- The Road Warrior
- Ronin
- Bullit
- Smokey and the Bandit (it was a 2 hour car chase)
- French Connection

[Nacho-RT74]

Damn Just named three times

SORRY GUYS... RONIN is the best chase and MOVIE ITSELF ever made with a chase on it... in fact is not with just one chase scene on it as far I remember... I think there is a chase in the mountanis roads with a Mercedes 450SEL 116.

Too hot, very detailed showing the handling tricks, is amaizing when the police car flips up in the 1st tunnel and just left room to the Peugeot. How the hell they did that in same take ?

of course is easy a chase like that with european cars better handling LOL.

BTW forgett Bullit and Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. they show just cars running what is great but is not a hot chase itself.

Blues Brother is simply a joke, an excuse to crash cars

Seven ups... never have seen that before but just saw it and is good but nothing like Ronin... small streets, hard curves, lot of transit. IMHO Seven ups is allmos a Bullit chase scene clone.

haha never have seen this one before... is really a good one!!!

[Nacho-RT74]

AND A CHASE WITH A CHARGER!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRxvdgbELQE
this is my fav... I have no idea about how is the movie but this chase is really hot... better than Bullit, more agressive...

However dunno why the cluster they show is not  the Charger one. And the final take over the ice is a piece of $**T. Very unreal hehehe

( and no, is not because there is a 3rd gen on it )

[HITMAN 149]

funny how the girl driving the beeeemer is sooo cool, yet deniro looks like he's gonna pass a softball!!!!!!!! LOL
great chase

[my73charger]

How about the Highwaymen.  I love that Barracuda.

common man, there was a helicopter slamming into the roof of a charger at high speed. Thats just cars running?

Well, the corvette was screwed to begin with.  C'mon Luke Skywalker driving it???  Right side drive, too

I dunno i'm kind'a partial to Ben Hur...

[69bronzeT5]

Another cool chase scene is from the movie Speedtrap. One of the main cars in it is a red & white 71 Charger. Theres also a few more 3rd Gen. Chargers in it plus a Duster. If you go to youtube, you can find it split up into 3 parts.

[69Coronet]

Gone in 60 Seconds 1974

[sixty8charger]

DEATH PROOF!  from the new Quentan Tarantino "the GRINDHOUSE"

Sad..  but it is one crazy car chase. Charger and a Challenger!

[John_Kunkel]

4-Ronin, was another great chase scene not well known...verry underrated!!!

Because this chase is done with high-end luxury road cars (that actually handle the road) it's often dismissed, but the actual chase is right there amid the biggies.

[70charger_boy]

What about the Italian Job?

[MichaelRW]

How about Romancing the Stone. I like the scene where Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and the Columbian guy are being chased. They are in a Ford Bronco (not positive it was a Bronco) and the Columbian guy is giving narration to them and pointing out things like the tree that his father planted and favorite pig, etc. all while being chased.

I don't mean it was a great chase scene movie, just that it was a lesser known one.

well that's more a race than a chase

[Old Moparz]

What about the Italian Job?

I thought about that one too, but the original. 

I loved how they drove the cars right up the ramps & into the moving truck to hide them. I'm not a fan of any car chase that looks more like a cartoon, it has to be "REAL" without computer animation, without launching ramps behind parked cars, & without massive explosions as if they had 5000 gallons of gas in them.

How about one I didn't see mentioned. "Live & Die In L.A." for a good highway chase?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i52cJRLlgQ

[DukesofHoward]

Nowhere near the best, but The Transporter had a fun chase scene ('cept for that silliness about launching off an overpass onto a car hauler...from dead stop no less!?)

[Lowprofile]

I was gonna say "Live and Die in L.A." too. Love that movie.  Here's another good one.........

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PuiIz6py4g

This was a pretty silly movie, but the car was cool.

Here is two more from the '80s that were okay.

I saw all the links you posted but still think no one is over RONIN chase, beside the MOVIE is a good one, not just a excuse to a chase!!!

Sorry, but Ronin sucked.  Bullitt better 

[TruckDriver]

As the whole movie goes, Ronin is one of the coolest movies I've seen in a long time. 

[Old Moparz]

I just remembered this one & haven't seen it in years. "White Lightning" with Burt Reynolds. My Dad took me to see it in the movie theater when I was a kid. Not as good as some of the others, but still fun to watch. I think I know where they got the ideas for the Duke's chases on dirt roads.

BLUES BROTHERS WAS GREAT!!

[CaptMarvel]

How about Thunder Road (late 50's) with Robert Mitchum? Its often credited with being the first modern (not Keystone Cops era) car chase movie. The end is very DMCL...pretty cool flick and, Ive heard, fairly representative of shine runners back in those days. The Dukes origins in Moonrunners also had some chases. Some interesting genealogy, my grandfather sold homemade whiskey to my grandmothers brothers back in the 20's who all lived in a dry county in NE Arkansas and thats how they ended up meeting. My dad and I and my kids owe our existence to moonshine I guess. Wow, crazy story huh?
