Default Movie car chases

Without a doubt Bullit is the best movie car chase of all time. But what are others. Gone in 60 Seconds is very entertaining especially with the helicopter pilots comments and the Go Baby Go nitrous button.

"Drive" with Ryan Gosling is by far one of my favorite movies and there are a couple cool chases in it.

The original "Vanishing Point" is basically a chase the whole time. Great movie and awesome car.

Faster with The Rock is a good movie, but also has cool car scenes

(except for the GTO reverse scene, which I thought was cheesy)

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

I think this is the longest car chase. I think they calculated it out and the run way is about 11 football fields long in the movie.

Longest run way ever..

This is only from memory. It is a long time since I saw it, but I remember Cobra has an ok car chase? With the 50`ish Mercury with Nitrous!

And a good chase in To Live and Die in L.A.
That Bourne movie when he drives in Russia is very good.
I dont have many other "good ones" that is not named.

Grand Prix has cool race clips

But there is many "car movies", but since they are not very popular (And often BAD...) they are forgotten and "lost in time" usually.. And sometimes good car chases are lost..

Olsenbanden, Norwegian films from the early 70`s usually had GREAT car chases, and always with atleast one full-size!
