"Movie audiences never seem to tire of the car chase. Knowing this, Hagerty Insurance, a collectible-vehicles insurer in Traverse City, Mich., conducted a survey to determine the most popular chase scenes. "Bullitt," starring Steve McQueen as a police detective driving a Ford Mustang up and down San Francisco's steep streets, captured 40 percent of the 2,000 votes cast. The movies with the best car chase scenes of all time, and the year of their release, from the survey results:"
1. "Bullitt" 1968
2. "Gone in 60 Seconds" (remake) 2000
3. "Smokey and the Bandit" 1977
4. "The Blues Brothers" 1980
5. "Gone in 60 Seconds" 1974
6. "The French Connection" 1971
7. "Ronin" 1998
8. "Vanishing Point" 1971
9. "The Italian Job" (remake) 2003
10. "The Fast and the Furious" 2001
What memories! I knew it was Bullitt; it had to be. Though I do think The Blues Brother’s should have been second.
When Laurae worked at the Drive-In theatre in Newbury Park, I could get in free and I knew exactly when the chase scene from Bullitt was going to play, and so I would drive in just in time to watch it and then leave afterwards. I would do that 3 or 4 times a week!
