loks Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Another thread on film suggestions got me thinking that I need to add to my library of classic car chase movies... Can anyone suggest any more that need to be added? 1. Italian Job (1969 version) 2. Vanishing Point (1971) 3. Cannonball Run I (1981) 4. Fast & the Furious I (2001) 5. Bullitt (1968) 6. Smokey & the Bandit I (1977) 7. Gone in 60 seconds (1974 version is better than 2000 version IMO) 8. Mad Max I, II & III (1979, 1982 & 1985) 9. Blues Brothers (1980) 10. Ronin (1998) 11. The French Connection (1971) 12. The Transporter I & 2 (2002 & 2005) 13. Thunder Road (1958) 14. White Lightning (1973) 15. The Rock (1996) 16. To Live & Die in L.A. (1985) 17. The Gumball Rally (1976) 18. It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) 19. Duel (1971) 20. Christine (1983) 21. Death Race 2000 (1975) 22. Grand Theft Auto (1977) 23. The Seven-Ups (1973) 24. The Car (1977) Oh and anything by the Sweeney and James Bond P.S. the only one I do not have a copy of is "White Lightning", anyone have any idea where I might "aquire" a copy , apart from legal means of course...

Snooze Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Best driving scene from a film? If you're allowed to include it, it has to be, without a shadow of a doubt: C'etait un Rendezvous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDriver Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Black Dog (starring Patrick Swayze and Meat Loaf) It's a bit like smokey and the bandit, with some very nice action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 "The Hitcher" has a few chases in it, the original was on last night. The Terminator films all tend to have a chase in, usually quite predictable nonsense though. Mission Impossible 2 Swordfish The Rock Thunder Road White Lightning Hooper (more stunts than chases?)

Chris Wilson Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I liked the Renault 5 Turbo 2 in one of the Bond films, unusual car, nice shots. But I'm biased as I had one for several years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
