1. Bullitt (1968) - 1968 Charger R/T versus a 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 CID Fastback. The classic of all car chases.
2. The Blues Brothers (1980) - "It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas."
3. Gone in 60 Seconds (Orignal version 1974)
4. James Bond (1971): Diamonds Are Forever - love the Las Vegas car chase in that red 1971 Mach I
5. James Bond (1974): The Man with the Golden Gun - That bridge jump barrel roll is a classic
6. Ronin (1998)
7. Vanishing Point (1971) - The ultimate Mopar movie
8. French Connection (1971)
9. Mad Max (1979) - Gotta love that classic GT351 1973 Ford XB Falcon
10. Mad Max (1981): The Road Warrior
11. Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974)
12. Smokey and the Bandit (1977) - Oh that classic 6.6 Liter Black Trans-Am
13. Duel (1971): The classic road rage movie and prelude to today road rage.
14. The Seven-Ups (1974)
15. It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963)
16. McQ (1974) - Classic John Wayne lighting up a caddy with a mach 10 and a silencer
17. The Getaway (1972)
18. American Graffiti (1973)
19. The Terminator (1984)
20. White Lightning (1973) - Burt Reynolds driving a hopped up 1971 Ford Custom 500

Gone In Sixty Seconds

i agree

I nominate the eight BMW short films with Clive Owen, especially the E39 M5 film where Clive throws Madonna all over the back seat of the car....

robson_design.com.sg · 08-28-2010, 12:55 AM

The Road Warrior
The movie that made Mel Gibson a major star!

Thinking about it, "Taken" had a pretty good chase scene. Noticed there were two E30's and one E90 in that movie.

modestforest · 09-08-2010, 04:04 AM
