Default Greatest Driving Film Ever

Fellas,

In your opinion what is the best driving scene in a film. There's some pretty good ones and by this thread we should learn of some more. My favourite is Ronin and what's the film where Jakie Chan is Driving the white Evo?

Thanks,
Alexppp

Who Am I? Personally Initial D has taken over as my favourite driving film of late.

Ronin - agree completely. Played on a decent DD system with a good sub, and TV and it blows anyway anything with continuous action for a good number of minutes. Mind blowing in many ways...

It used to be Smokey and the Bandit Now I would say Ronin for the jaw dropping sequence in rush hour traffic.

Ronin is in my top ten films of all time, great cast, well directed and just stunning.

I used to like 'No mans land', with Charlie Sheen in. Steals Porsches for a living. No real spectacular driving in it, just liked the film.

Ronin did not end satisfactorily though - great film that runs out of steam.

Great car scene is the opening minutes of Subway where the big Merc chases the Pug 205 GTI around Paris. Brilliant and not often seen.

As somebody who totally hates films I got a chance to see what all the fuss was about with just the car chase in 'Ronin' when a pal had the dvd in his car on a visit to my place.

Well, what a pile of shíte! It was embarrassing to watch and looked like a sped up cartoon, I thought.

Spoon, its all about the camera angles and sounds from the cars. There is a great 1 hour documentry on the making of Ronin's car chase.

It gets my vote anyway.
