Movie Car chase scenes
 
What is your favorite car chase scenes in a movie? Ronin & White Lightning are 2 of my favorites beyond all the usual nominees.

Here is some behind the scenes info from a local cine-photographer friend of mine:

Anything by Bill Hickman. Bullitt, The French Connection, or especially The Seven-Ups.

Bill must've had a HUGE set to drive like he did, in less than controlled conditions.

Ronin. Very well done.

Giller 10-03-2014 04:16 PM

Blues Brothers. Classic. Just try to count how many cop cars get totaled.

The original "Gone in 60 seconds" Mustang chase and to Live and Die in LA. But yes, Bullitt is right there at the top of the list.

I actually really like some of the scenes from "no mans land."

Good call. Have that one on DVD.

+1 Bullitt
 
But, I must give a tip of the hat to the car chases in the Jason Bourne movies. Love the one in Moscow.

21 jump street with changing tatum - they get chased in a 986...

BYprodriver 10-04-2014 12:10 PM

Almost forgot the whole BMW "The Hire" series of short films! :cool:

dghii 10-04-2014 04:07 PM

Love Bug.
Cars (the first one)

"The Star" was my favorite. Made me want an M5.

Smokey and the Bandit

Blues Brothers... the over the top absurdity of this one is excellent

A little different than the usual car chase formula of weaving through crowded city streets, but I'd say Vanishing Point, and also Duel. The latter being a movie where actor Dennis Weaver is stalked by a pure evil looking tanker truck across 2 lane Californian roads. I think that was actually Stephen Spielberg's first movie.

BIGJake111 10-08-2014 03:26 AM

I have always loved duel, it has an excellent tone to it!

Joe B 10-08-2014 04:57 AM

There's some fun stuff in Jason Statham's Transporter films.

gomarlins3 10-08-2014 05:39 PM

I really like the chase scene in the garage in Tomorrow Never Dies.

BIGJake111 10-12-2014 01:02 PM

Not a chase scene but the boxster is a star in the movie mullholland drive. This movie may be my personal favorite. It is universally renowned by critiques as the best movie of the 21st century.

The excellent Moscow chase was in The Bourne Supremacy. The Paris chase in Identity was also really good, as was the NYC chase in Ultimatum.
