No 5 –
The Blues Brothers
The Mall chase and the absolutely insane Chicago car chase is one of, if not, the highlight of this iconic
comedy from John Landis.
(Directed John Landis)
No 4 –
Smokey and the Bandit
Who would of thought delivering beer to Texarkana in a Black Trans Am would be downright funny, dangerous and completely wild? Burt Reynolds and Jackie Gleason make it so in this wildy popular movie that includes some of the best stunt driving caught on film. A classic through and through.
(Directed by Hal Needham)
No 3 –
Bullitt
Steve McQueen handles this car chase with absolute power, tension and plain old bad ass attitude. No CGI. No machine guns or explosions either. Just a simple car chase that is hypnotic and intense. And Steve McQueen looks so damn cool doing it too.
(Directed by Peter Yates)
No 2 –
The French Connection
A no brainer. It is the top Car Chase ever shot for many fans of this movie. Fast, frenetic, dangerous and long enough to cement a permanent place in car chase history. Hackman is completely in control here and makes it look easy but the look on his face is that of a weary Cop who wants his man caught at all costs. Even if dodging train columns and chasing a train going 90 miles an hour is what it takes. Totally inspired.
(Directed by William Friedkin)
No 1 –
Ronin
I never tire of this chase. It is my favorite. Cold and calculating, Frankenheimer choreographed this exciting chase brilliantly. It’s a balls to the wall Audi vs BMW chase through narrows streets and freeways. It’s dizzying and stunning to watch. It gets the viewer very involved and it feels like anything could happen while the cars reach incredible speeds.
The replay value of this chase is incredible. It is quite heart-stopping to behold. Highly recommended. The film stars Robert De Niro (In probably his last really cool role) and Jean Reno. A great espionage thriller with a classic car chase to boot.
(Directed by John Frankenheimer)

I’m glad you included The French Connection!
There was no way I was leaving that one out! 😀 Thanks for stopping by!
Great list. Ronin is such an underrated movie.
It is, isn’t it? Even De Niro is over looked on this movie. He was awesome in it. Thanks for stopping by, Tom!
I love that car chase in The Blues Brothers. I was laughing so hard. Nice list.
Thanks! I just watched the film over again just for that sequence.
Great post Vic. Been a while since I have seen any of these movies. I remember Bullit best since I am a huge McQueen fan. The film itself was weak, but the car chase scene was epic.
Thanks for stopping by, Dave. Bullitt is a bad ass movie through and through. McQueen oozes toughness in it. He barely breaks a sweat during the chase, lol
“You traded the Bluesmobile for this?”
“No…for a microphone.” 😀
I grew up in Illinois, so by default, I hate Illinois Nazis and I’ve seen this more times than I can count. Sublime flick.
Cool. Yeah, this film works on so many levels. Landis did everything right with this movie.
