Don't have a favourite really.

Ronin goes somewhere near the top
Bourne Identity ain't too bad either.

Could think of loads, including the more obvious if I put my mind to it

Your forgetting the opening title shots to "The Cannonball run"

First thing you hear is the glorious sound of a Lambo V12. Then you see a gorgeous Countach in Black, driven by 2 Lovely ladies, being chased by the cops in a Trans Am.

I know it's not the best car chase film, but I just love it.

The Title music is also one of my favorites. Ever time I watch it I get goosebumps.

Whats the film with the audi A8 with nitrous etc, mainly set in france - for the life of me I can't remember the name of it. They start out in Paris and then on down to the south of france and have a mad chase down there.

Theirs a russian ice skater involved and she nearly gets killed by a sniper towards the end, think Robert De Niro or Al Pacino are one of the lead characters.

Dooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - whats it called???????????????

Best chase film ever IMHO.

Surprised there's a moderately famous one involving 3 mini coopers, a bus and Turin (IIRC?) that is missing from this list so far . . . . (and yes I do mean the original!)

Yep, Ronin has to be the choice for me, very well filmed!

Subway, the French film with Christophe Lambert has a great opening car chase (early Luc Besson)

Taxi (en Francais)

Which Bond had the Renault 5 GT Turbo?

The underground carpark scene in The Driver. With the shiny new orange Mercedes. Which didn't stay shiny for long.

"You work for a piece, right?"
"$10,000 upfront. Against 15%"
"How do we know you're that good???"
(pause)
"Get in".


Legendary.

Yep theres only 2 films in the running,

Bullit n
Ronin

I would put Ronin 1st purely because alot of it wasnt planned n left to the stuntmen to decide, like the headon chase scene. Crazy french b4stards Oh n the 1st drift in the beamer is just mental.

French Connection

The Transporter (poor film but some great car scenes!)

For Your Eyes Only in the Citroen Dolly (whatever the real name for that thing was!) and the Esprit.

These weren't the greatest, but enjoyable none the less!!!

Agree with Ronin. Quality driving.

Anyone with the DVD would have seen the extras when they tell you how they filmed it all, which is almost as impressive... stunning stuff
