My favourite: the final chase scene in The Blues Brothers; unsurpassed in violence, without people actually being killed. Soooooo many police cruisers smashed to pieces. Beautiful!

P.S. They was big girls as well......

3) Vanishing Point (again the original not the remake)

Everyone mentions this movie but I hated it. I teach pursuit driving at the academy and I was not impressed by this scene. You could see that the film was speeded up.

I agree that the Blues Brothers is the best. I like the chase inside the mall best!

There is no other chase scene than the BB one.

We can close this thread now, the discussion is over

French Connection was good because of the editing and because Hackman is so good. Certainly, it is the only movie where I have seen a car chase a train from underneath

The entire movie is chase scene, although some parts digress in places, such as the destruction of the gas station scene. The actors in it were some of the biggest comedians of the time.

Gotta get that movie added to my NetFlix queue. Haven't seen it in years and years, but I still remember the theme song "Code of the West" by (I think) Roger Miller.

Oh, my wife and kid are so tired of me throwing that DVD in a laughing my <bleep!> off everytime I watch it. That was a really good chase scene of those 2 taxi cabs chasing Captain Culpepper. There was one part where one guy in an alley waited till the veeeery instant before jumping out of the way out of one of the cars. Classic.

Yea, that was priceless! Spencer Tracy was excellent in that movie.
