3. Blues Brothers
Not a car movie, but it has one of the best all time car chase scenes.

That defintly counts! It don't have to be a car movie-but great chase scenes-heck yaeah!
A movie I saw at the theater at the tender age of 12-and about a billion times on uhf ('member uhf?) back in the 70's and early 80's....
4.DIRTY MARY,CRAZY LARRY (1974)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0xE-68P4ao
5. STINGRAY
Saw this at a drive-in, way back when, and enjoyed the hell out of it.
It's kinda like a violent version of THE DUKES OF HAZZARD.
I wish someone would release it on DVD.

6. Goldfinger
Actually the Bond films are full of chases featuring lots of different types of vehicles. This one from Goldfinger featuring the specially enhanced by Q Aston Martin is quite a lot of fun and pretty exciting stuff.

7. Smokey & the Bandit. Burt Reynolds, Sally Field and company. Fun ride! :teddyr:
Another great Bond car chase in this one...
8. Diamonds Are Forever
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iuh2L-_yf3M
9. GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS (1974)
Set to some MOTORHEAD songs.

10. BULLIT

11. THE BANK DICK
Egbert Souse (W.C. Fields) is forced by Repulsive Grogan to drive the getaway car after a bank heist:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6o3tTB9TNU
Some pretty amazing driving and stunt work that put's today's cgi chases to shame.
12. The Love Bug
It's a fun little movie and very, very 60's.

13. PIT STOP
As far as I know, it's the only movie ever made about figure eight racing.

I've attended quite a few demolition derbies in my lifetime, but I've never even heard of figure eight racing. Quite insane!
14. The Great Race...what a cast!

15. VANISHING POINT (1971)

16. RONIN (1998)
This is not a car movie recommendation obviously but I thought I had to throw this bit of "hot merging action" in here somewhere:

The Cars That Ate Paris
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKrZ8eTcdK4

Oh,yes! Very cool film. :wink:
Not sure if you want to include them but the 1950s gave us some great hot rod films with numerous drag races...girls, greasers, racing thrills.

Actually there's several more of these B-movie classics out there. They used to be a regular feature on the old Drive-In Classics channel.

Yes!!!!
I love all the above.
26. TRUCK TURNER
This is a scene where the music's just as good as the chase.
"Pursuit Of The Pimpmobile"
It's sounds like something from a seventies TV show, but it's Isaac Hayes and his band jammin' away!
This clip has the song playing over top of the scene, instead of the original soundtrack.

The Love Bug
Herbie Rides Again
Herbie goes to Monte Carlo
What can I say? I like that little car; he had personality.
If you want a more serious movie, may I suggest Rebel without a Cause?

30) I enjoyed the Death Race remake with that Statham guy

31. Though not an overly exciting film-but nevertheless-a good film-to me at least-was 1971's TWO LANE BLACKTOP.
And it's got Warren Oates. :smile:

40. THE GUMBALL RALLY
Ah, beat me to it by ->this much<-.
Great flick, not full of itself and not full of mugging "stars" like some subsequent bits of celluloid drivel I could name. (And yes, I know Brock Yates regards
Gumball as stolen from him... too bad, his "official" Cannonball Baker movies don't deserve a "B" rating.
Loved this movie so much I didn't stop until there was a Cobra in my garage. :D

47. The Cannonball Run (1981): Not particularly great but does have some great cars in it. Not enough car chases though or even racing. Still the opening has a fun little chase seqeunce and there's a few other fun scenes here and there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2hGFN8NlLQ
and then there's the original...
48. Cannonball film from 1976....a much better film starring David Carradine.

I really love that movie... for me, that's what movies are all about. RIDLEY SCOTT made that movie...
You see the MAN running after the WOMEN...?
