It seems that several car chases have been mentioned around here, so how about a category just for them. There are too many to list, so I won't bother since that's your job. One that I think hasn't been mentioned yet is the chase in "To Live and Die in L.A." which ends up going the wrong way on an LA freeway. It's not necessarily my favorite but worthy of attention.

I loved the chases in French connection in Bullit but, for some reason, I love the Matrix Reloaded chase, very impressive

One chase scene I particularly enjoy is in Colors, when Penn and Duvall chase the crips through the back streets of L.A. after a drive by at a funeral. I find the scene to be filmed very well, and looks like it could be out of an episode of Cops!

Im gonna have to agree with Nygma. Although the movie sucked, the action scenes and car chase scene in the Matrix Reloaded were spectacular.

Ronin does rule Bucky, but if you guys haven't seen The Bourne Supremacy yet, you haven't seen nothin' yet. I have seen a lot of great car chases but I was blown away.

Also, these scenes are primarily in action flicks, but we can't forget the amazing chase scene in The Blues Brothers. I'll go ahead and second that for Jakal since he's M.I.A as of late.

Yea, well you see this one? This was my dream, my wish....and it didn't come true. So I'm taking it back, I'm taking them all back.

Blues Brothers...greatest...ever.

I would also like to mention any car chase filmed by John Frankenheimer.

It must be mentioned: Castle of Cagliostro. I believe that Steven Spielberg called this the "greatest car chase in cinematic history" or something to that effect.

The car chase scene in Matrix Reloaded was pretty cool, too, even if it was basically the whole movie.

It begins with 'Bullit", through "Vanishing point" to "Smokey and the bandit" and "Cannonball run".

Then there's the car chasing a train in "The french connection" and the boat chase in "Death in venice".

That tank chase in the James Bond movie is great, and I also like the tow-truck chase in "Terminator II".

But my object of desire is Eleanor.

The Italian Job (1969)
The Blues Brothers
The French Connection
Ronin
Bullitt
The Corruptor
The Bourne Identity

I have to go with either The Blues Brothers or Bullitt as the best though.
