Default Best car chase ever

What is the best car chase in the history of cinema ??

In my opinion - "The Italian Job" (1969)

I didn't see the original Italian Job (shame on me)...

But I loved the car chases in Ronin with the Audi S8 vs Citroën XM & Peugeot 605 and the one with the BMW M5 vs Peugeot 406

RONIN!!...or the original gone in 60 secconds...the orig gone in 60 secconds had no digital enhancing at all =) they spent more time beating the crap out of the new cars so they would look like the totaled car that wouldn't run anymore really really nice chase scene

the new gone in 60 seconds is a disgrace compared to the old one 0X =)

The scene in 'Gumball Rally' where the cars go roaring off down the middle of Manhatten. And the last 20 minutes of the film when the AC Cobra and Daytona Spyder duke it out to the finish line, no music except the melody of those engines.
I like when about 200 police cars chase the Bluesmobile in 'The Blues Brothers".

bullitt was too short and the car never appeared again in the film, so it made it a drag watching the rest.

The chase scene with the TVR in Swordfish wasn't bad, just because it was a TVR.

Original Gone in 60 seconds. The whole movie was a car chase with a few bits put around it to call it a movie(seriously there was practically no plot, just a car chase).

Bullitt was good, and so was Ronin, but i have Ronin on DVD and not bullitt so i guess bulitt was not as good , ronin also had that french guy that was in the professional that is crazy, but back to cars i like the transporter / 765 omg!!!

No, but they did speed up the film a few times. Either way, it rules. Who doesn't like a 45 minute car chase? LOL
Ronin
Bourne Indentity
Duel
Italian Job, old and new
The chases in Bad Boys 1 and 2 weren't bad either
