Best Car Chase Scenes
 

This, very likely, has been posted before, but I just flipped by "Ronin" right before the car chase scene. I was reminded about how f*cking awesome it is and wanted suggestions for other great ones. Some of the highlights are Deirdre running a cop car off the road in the tunnel, causing it to flip over and spin in the middle of the lane, DeNiro times it perfectly and drives by it like it's a revolving door, Gregor (Skarsgaard) nervously pulling his seatbelt on when Deirdre starts going against traffic, the truck running on two wheels for a good 20-30 seconds while smashing 8-10 cars path, and the motorcyclist who gets clipped so perfectly.

I hear that "The French Connection" is best all time, (coicidence that Ronin is filmed in France?) and one of first two Bourne movies has an excellent one.

What else?

Both Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy have great car chase scenes.

Matrix Reloaded has a sweet scene on the freeway when Trinity is on the motorcycle.

The new Dukes of Hazzard movie is entertaining at parts and has a good car chase scene there.

Bad Boys 2 has a pretty sweet car chase scene.

Gone in 60 Seconds and The Rock are also pretty cool scenes.

I'm sure there's more, but I am still on my first cup of coffee.

My favorite car chase is in "Bullitt." It was filmed in 1968 so there's no computer enhancement. Over 100 mph on public streets...it's worth a look, especially if you're a Steve McQueen fan.

Definitely the best! Remember at the time it was totally ground-breaking - and featured two sweet cars - Charger vs Mustang GT:

Not sure it's possible to be a Steve McQueen fan and not have seen Bullitt.
