Gone in 60 Seconds (Original)
Although most of the movie has the feel of a low budget, poorly acted porn film, 93 cars are destroyed during the 40 minute car chase featuring the yellow Mach I Mustang Eleanor. In my opinion, Gone in 60 Seconds features the greatest car chase put to film.
2
Smokey & the Bandit
It's difficult to pick one scene in the film, considering it's pretty much one long chase. The whole movie still holds up today and is thoroughly enjoyable. Who could ever forget Jackie Gleason's hilarious performance?
3
Cannonball Run
So many great scenes, so many great moments, an incredible ensemble cast and great cars. The movie is hilarious and Farrah Fawcett has never been sexier.
4
The Blues Brothers
A thoroughly enjoyable movie from start to finish, featuring one of the most thrilling police chases on film! Lots of mayhem and destruction! The highlight is when the chase goes through the shopping mall.
5
Bullitt
Bullitt isn't so much a car chase movie, as it is a gritty cop drama highlighted by a spectacular car chase. The cinematography on the chase is exceptional and that Mustang is sooo cool.
6
Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior
With thrilling stunts and chases, this movie is action-packed! It's shocking that no one has picked up the license to do die-cast vehicles.
7
Goldfinger
Just about EVERY James Bond film features a spectacular car chase: Diamonds are Forever, The Spy Who Loved Me, and even Die Another Day, but I feel the ultimate Bond car chase is from Goldfinger. To see the Aston Martin DB5 in action with all its gadgets is a genuine thrill.
8
The Fast & The Furious
At first I dismissed this movie as a bit of fluff, but the more I watch it, the more I like it. The racing scenes are fantastic (despite being computer generated) and the truck hijacking-gone-wrong scene is a nail biter. Plus, with ERTL's die-cast vanishing from shelves, this movie seems to have a large cult-following.
9
The French Connection
Another gritty crime drama that features an exciting car chase, though, unlike the other movies listed, there is only one car involved ... and an elevated train. The scene seems even more tense when you realize the chase scene was shot without a permit and that many of the bystanders are REAL bystanders.

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
It was tough to come up with one more to finish off this list. There are so many movies and scenes to choose from. After seeing it again recently, I decided to add It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World to the list. This film has everything: a legendary star-filled ensemble cast, very funny moments and dozens of great cars and chase scenes.
