    American Graffiti This one is pretty good. Lot of great actors before they were great.
    Bullit (1968) One of the best chace scenes EVAR! Even though a Hemi Charger woulda killed a mustang
    Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) Pretty good, best line "Are you okay? Cause you just went through a brick wall"
    Christine Stephen King, nuff said 'shitters'
    Mad Max (1979) Yea, even with the 'bad' ending
    Road Warrior (1982) How long to saw through what?
    Smokey And The Bandit (1977) I am from the south....
    Ronin (1998) Didnt see it out of respect for Princess Di......
    Car Wash (1976) Some of the biggest afro's I ever seen...

    American Graffiti (1973) Yep
    The Blues Brothers (1980) Excellente'
    Cars (2006) Good, even though I dont like Owen Wilson (He sounds retarded)

    White Lightning (1973) Cant beat the Genre
    Christine (1983) I think you all ready used this one, but it is worth 2 votes.

    The Wraith was a good flick. I remember watching it as a kid and wanting that car. Wasn't that the Ptototype that became the Dodge Stealth.

    I looked it up

    The black car featured in the movie was a real-life technological wonder, the Dodge M4S. A joint effort of the Dodge Division of Chrysler Motors and PPG Industries, one of the highly sophisticated PPG Pace Cars for the PPG-CART Indy Car World Series. The M4S was designed and constructed at an estimated cost of $1.5 million, and featured performance and technology to match that lofty figure. The innovative body design was developed in the Chrysler studios, while PPG developed the finish--a special bronze pearl paint job formulated just for this car. The M4S was powered by a Chrysler 2.2-liter four-cylinder one-of-a-kind engine that exceeded 194 mph. According to Gary Hellerstein, transportation coordinator for this film, a total of seven versions of the M4S were needed for filming. The original, on loan from Dodge, was used for close-ups and details. Two more "drivers", consisting of perfectly detailed bodies on dune buggy chassis, were used for stunt driving chores. There were four "shells", empty bodies on bare, towable frames, that were sacrificed in various crash scenes.

    The best car chase in any movie that I've seen has to be in The Blues Brothers...
