MSN has a list of the top ten movie car chases...
10. Smokey and the Bandit 9. The Blues Brothers 8. cit Un Rendezvous 7. Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior 6. The Bourne Identity 5. Le Professionnel 4. The Italian Job (1969) 3. The Seven-Ups 2. Ronin 1. Bullitt
http://cars.uk.msn.com/News/Top_ten_article.aspx?cp-documentid=475403
I think it's a pretty good list, but i think blues brothers should be higher up just for how ridiculous the chase is, and if you have never seen the seven ups and like car chases i suggest you watch it, almost as good as bullit, and how did the french connection not make it?
whats every ones opinons anything left off? not deserving to be on the list?

I have seen all but the seven ups and it must be incredible to make it above the original Italian Job. I am not sure I would have put Mad Max on there, but I guess it is a car chase. I would have also included the motorcycle chase with Steve Mcqueen from The Great Escape.
Like someone said above, some of the old Bond movies have incredible chase scenes, the older movies were they actually did driving stunts, not CG and special effect stuff.
I think Cannon Ball Run, Gumball Rally, Le Mans, Grand Prix and the old Herbie Movies deserve an honorable mention as well.

I love watching the Gumball Rally, where else can you see exotic's driving over 180 miles per hour?
Other videos that I enjoy are the "Getaway in Stockholm" series. An NSX-R running away from the swedish police, just amazing.
The top 10 is missing the police chase with the military tank. Nothing could stop that thing except that the genius driver got it stuck on a cement interstate barrier.
