| | | What's everyone's opinion on the best movie chases? I'd have to say my favs are: 1. The Driver (Late 70's movie, kind of low budget, hardly any dialogue... has some incredible driving, and a very cool ending in an outdoor wearhouse, between a '73ish Firebird and a Chevy stepside/shortbox truck with stacks) 2. Bullitt (Mmmmm... I like Mopars, but I'd take '68 Mustang over the Charger in this one. And it sounds so good when McQueen double clutches) 3. Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (Love the Impala, and the Charger. Why can't I find a chick like that?) 4. The Itaian Job (The 1969 version... awesome. Truly awesome. And a true cliffhanger ending) 5. Mad Max (I need a Ford Falcon interceptor) 6. Ronin (Because the late '70s mercedes 500 SEL is still the ultimate getaway vehicle. And the M5 they use in the final chase sounds like my 325is, which gets my mojo going) 7. Live and Let Die (Boats AND cars? Hell yes!) 8. Vanishing Point (The original... remake was brutal AND the wrecked car at the end of the remake was a Camaro, not a Challenger.) 9. Smokey and the Bandit ("There is no way you's from my loins! And when I get home, you is gonna remind me, cuz I am gonna hit your momma in the mouth!" 10. Gumball Rally ("Boy, it sure is a handsome car!" "I wish it ran.")

| | | At the end of Vanishing Point, the original, I remember the wrecked car in that being a 67-68 Camaro too, is that what you meant? I'm sure it's online somewhere. My favorites: The Blues Brothers (Has to be my personal favorite of all, I mean really come on! More than enough actual chases in that. It was originality that made it cool, and the lack of special effects. BB 2000 sucked, just trying to recreate the first one.) Duel (Steven Spielberg's first movie, excellent film, someone still has an actual truck from it and drives it around in that condition) Bullitt (Needs no explanation...I wish they went over the Golden Gate as was originally planned though...they got barred from doing that by the city, haha) French Connection (I think they were trying to outdo Bullitt with this one, it seems pretty authentic too, even though it involves a train...) The Road Warrior (That and Mad Max are cool movies) I like Live and Let Die, because about 80 percent of the damn cars in the whole movie are 73 Chevrolets (Impala, Caprice, BelAir) GM must have sponsored the movie or something, it's pretty strange when you watch it. All of the Lethal Weapon movies have some good car chases in them, not enough to be considered centerpieces of the films though. Die Hard with a Vengeance has a good car chase in it toward the climax. I have the movie Sudden Impact, a Dirty Harry movie, there is a short one in that where Callahan forces a 74 Bel Air full of retards in flames off of a boat dock...lol I still never saw The Enforcer. Honorable mention, the Goonies. Has the "neat ORV"

| An obscure movie called "The Seven Ups" had a really good car chase... big old early 70's Pontiac boat going mano-y-mano versus a similiar vintage Pontiac Ventura (nova clone) Samurai
