Ok simple list.
What's the best car chase in a film you ever witnessed.
Seeing as I am a Bay fan it is only right I/you/we pay homage to the greatness that is Bay's strength as an action director, and that is his unparelleled excellence at carnage and speed and intensity when it comes to filming hectic and fun kick ass car chases with the phattest most exotic cars on the damn planet!
The best of ALL TIME...
BAD BOYS 2!!!!
yea kid...check that shit out, nothing beats it...nothing! Absolutely Revolutionary!!!!

Well I have always been a Bullitt and French Connection fan, so those are the two best IMO with the Connection being the best.

The one in the Rock was great, a tad over the top, but still great.
Better than the Bad Boys II one.
That being said, the car chase in Bullitt is still the best in my opinion.

This is the funniest one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO0cFrWo66A
^Ah, the good old days when Chevy Chase was funny. I apologize to those who haven't seen Fletch yet for the clip being in Spanish. It's the only one available. :(
Also, Beverly Hills Cop : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq39BiHLF7Y
^Also, unfortunately, it's in Spanish. What bad luck I have today! LOL

Ronin and Bullitt are the answers that always come to mind when I see this question.
I only saw The Seven Ups for the first time a few weeks ago and that chase is a thumper :cool:
No one's mentioned the epic one that closes The Road Warrior.

I still enjoy the one in Diamonds are Forever. But comparing that to the one in Bad Boys II could make the mind explode...

As far as "popcorn car chases" I loved the one in The Bourne Identity.

The Blues Brothers, man.
Bullitt, The Bourne Supremacy, Vanishing Point (the whole movie's a damn car chase) and Ronin all had really memorable scenes of the sort as well.

There's something wrong with the links, Bayhem.
Anyway, I've always liked the one from The French Connection because the cars are so shitty and can barely hold up yet it's still really cool.
I'm not quite sure which Eastwood movie it is, I think it was Magnum Force, that had a really badass car chase at the end.

Since I am a big fan of the exciting car chases in low budget movies my choice would be:
EPICENTER
Traci Lords in a disaster/crime drama flick with the very good car chase in SF. Almost as good as the one in THE ROCK.
And some F/X are good. Plus Jeff Fahey. And nudity (no, not by Traci
:( :( :( )
Recommended.

though not as all over the place or as intense I'm picking
TERMINATOR 2: either the chase of the t-1000 and john on the bike
or
the T-1000 chasing down t-800 and sarah from the helicopter. They're both more memorable than anything ever mentioned on this subject yet

I absolutely agree with these two. The lack of soundtrack and fancy special effects definitely makes these more exciting and realistic. IN the French Connection, when he narrowly misses the woman w/ the baby carriage...I cringe every time! I actually didnt care much for the French Connection as a movie, but the chase scene was fantastic.
And Bullitt is just great, of course.

d chase scene in THE ROCK is pretty awesome

Bullitt - very few others come close. I think the greatest "recent" car chase is Ronin. I thought that one was pretty freakin' cool and realistic.

The car chase from Bullitt was groundbreaking but it could hardly be considered the best. I agree with whoever mentioned Ronin though.

Any chase in The Road Warrior is very cool.

The final chase scene of THE ROAD WARRIOR. My god, nothing comes even close to that. Seriously, it takes up 1/3 of the movie.

I couldn't find a youtube clip of it but I'll have to agree with blk_flower and say the T2 chases were all very good and extremely memorable.

The Bourne Supremacy = Worst of all time.
Best would be The Matrix Reloaded.

Really? I kinda liked it; it's not the best by any means, but I didn't think it was that bad.

The Matrix Reloaded or any of the many chases in Terminator 2.
Big Boss

Bullitt is one of the all time best.
T-2 chases were great. T-3 chase was good too.
I don't know if any of you have seen this one but Jackie Chan's Who Am I? had a very good chase scene! At one point he manages to get the car on its side and spins it in a circle to get it back on its wheels! The car was a Mitsubishi EVO IV or V

Blues Brothers-mall and the end chase

Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry. The ending was a total surprise to me! They also used that ending on the intro of that tv show "The Fall Guy" with Lee Majors.

Not only did the Bourne Supremacy feature the best car sequence I've ever seen, but it was a fitting climax to a fantastic film (putting a new spin on the inevitable good guy vs. bad guy showdown). I feel the fact that the overall film was so good up's the car sequence though.
