Ok, this one is not a movie scene, but a real car chase (Good Ol' Boys song).
It's very entertaining.

Here is a car chase scene from Tony Arzenta (1973).
Car chasing Italian style.
The cars race, crash against each other, and fully destroy both cars.

Excellent! I nice run in Paris in the wee hours of the morning.

For a while, it felt like I was playing Xbox when I was watching this short film.

My favorite part was the run on the narrow streets.

It also brought me nice memories, 5 years ago, my wife and I went to Paris, and walked most of those streets.

Looks like for now Ronin and Gone in 60 seconds (2000) are tied in 1st place for now, at 17 votes each.

I found the results of a similar poll in a website:

Quote:
1. Bullitt — 18.4%
2. Ronin — 15.8%
2. The French Connection — 15.8%
4. The Blues Brothers — 12.3%
5. The Italian Job — 9.6%
5. The Fast and the Furious — 9.6%
7. Casino Royale — 6.1%
7. Batman Begins — 6.1%
9. The Road Warrior — 5.3%
10. Smokey and the Bandit — 0.9%
I voted for Ronin - I have seen the movie about 5 times. My second place is Bullitt.

Cult classic.

You can watch some of those Getaway in Stolkhom videos...those are pretty crazy. Reckless is a minor understatement...

Speaking of classics...watch this:

In the movie Ronin (1988) the chase is between a BMW 5 Series vs. Peugeot 406 (not a Peugeot 306).
