    Blues Bros, Bullit, the original Gone in Sixty Seconds and the Itaian job.... the best four but not necessarily in that order. I am sorry but Dorks of Hazzard would not not rate anywhere on a car chase list of mine...

    "The Man with the Golden Gun" (James Bond)

    Had a chase over a canal from and to rickety bridge remnants, with a midair barrel roll by Bond. IIRC, the credits included computer programmers for the stunt.

    Agreed

    French Connection has another good car chase, Transporter has a good one as well

    Made well before CGI was invented I'm afraid.

    Edited to add, not exactly before it was invented but it was still to crude to be used in films, IIRC if you look at the shot just after the car lands on the other side, they did something wrong in continuity that required them to reverse the film, so if you can catch it, the writing on all the signs is backwards for one shot.

    yeah, another vote for [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36MFh4of6lE"]Bullitt[/ame]. Just watched it again.

    A 68 GT Mustang and a 68 Dodge Charger racing through the streets of San Francisco, old skool. Doesn't get much better than that for me.

    I'm surprised that no-one has as yet mentioned the 14 minute long freeway chase from The Matrix Reloaded. They custom built a freeway to film it on.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md8lEXT9AbM

    Cars, motorbikes, ghosts, semi-trailers, samurai swords and a hot chick - what more do you want in a chase?

    (looks/sounds much better on DVD with a good sound system...)

    Wasn't CG. The computer programming was used to define the optimum shape of the bridge "remnants" to impart the proper twist and allow landing on the far side; also to establish the proper speed of the car. The programmers could have been moonlighting rocket scientists. Haven't seen it for years, so I can't remember any continuity problems. Might be listed in "movie blunders" or some such web site name.
