Hi,

Agree 100% with aren040. Steve McQueen double-clutching the up-shifts in that Mustang Fastback in Bullitt is some of the best sounds ever laid on a Soundtrack.

I also go with Ronin as #2 and The Italian Job (the original and the re-make) bringing up the rear.

These were choreographed by the famed Rémy Julienne who also did the chase scenes in 6 of the Bond movies (including with the Lotus Esprit!).

One of my favorites of his is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bxvGy1Uy70

If you like Muscle, see the old Vanishing Point with Barry Newman - that 440 six-pack Challenger is amazing - "Hey Kowalski, you out there?...?"...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Some of my old friends would argue that the greatest chase scene ever in a comedy production occurred the day before my wedding. We were chasing a car up Mass. Avenue in DC, when the '83 Chevy Impala I was driving skipped across a stretch of mottled pavement, got sideways and plowed into a 100 year old tree at some unknown, but ungodly, speed.

I had a terrible time reciting my vows with my rib cage so tightly wrapped and my head all swollen up.

I'm sure the photos of that mess will show up at my retirement roast.

A white Mustang GT + Flight School + County Sheriff = Bad memory.

Rail,

You know that female pilot you hooked up with in flight school is still flying around looking for you...

No one mentioned "The Seven Ups". That also had an exceptional car chase scene.
