Post movies with memorable and/or classic car chases. I'll put them into a poll and we'll see where we stand on the best cinematic car chase.
To be in poll:
- Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)
- A 34 minute long chase against police as Maindrian Pace (H.B. Halicki) tries to escape in a stolen '73 Ford Mustang (codenamed "Eleanor"). 93 vehicles are destroyed (including the Mustang) as the chase rampages through six California cities from Long Beach to Carson.
- The Blues Brothers (1980)
- Numerous vehicular chases, mainly around Chicago, as Jake (John Belushi) and Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd) try to raise funds for their childhood home, a Catholic orphanage. As they try to rebuild their band, they make several enemies (Illinois national socialists, Jake's ex-wife, police/military, revenge-driven bands, etc) who join in car chases from Chicago to shopping malls. All car chases feature Jake and Elwood driving their retired '74 Dodge Monaco patrol car.
- David Mann (Dennis Weaver) is an innocent middle aged man on a business trip. After a minor confrontation with a gas tanker ('55 Peterbilt 255) while driving his '71 Plymouth Valiant, the truck driver begins to relentlessly terrorize him as Mann tries to escape certain death.
- The classic car chase where Lt. Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen), driving his iconic green '68 Ford Mustang GT, pursues a mob boss's hitmen through San Francisco.
Post any that I left out, and I'll add them to the OP. I'll start a poll once I sense a lull in activity.
