Default Best Car Flick

This should be in the Public Poll section but seeming there are many movies around I didnt put options. So what's the best car flick you've watched?

Ronin is pretty cool, and the movie is coming out on DVD (for the first time) so it's even better. Great shots of S8's, Beemers and French cars blasting around France. 8)

Ermmmm..... definitely not Fast & Furious (or 2Fast 2Furious, for that matter). I only watch gone in 60 seconds for the cars, like the Shelby Cobra

Taxi (the first one, not the shitty american re-make, or 2 & 3) was good too, but it seems that car-flicks are getting worse now. Too much interest in the jazzed-up cars, and less on cars that you buy off the shelf

The French Connection, Bullitt, Ronin, LeMans, The Great Escape, The Italian Job (the original one), and Gone in 60 Seconds, but only because it's kind of fun. The others are all seriously good and have excellent driving/chase scenes.

well not to be a ricer, but the first F&F wasn't too bad, yet bad none the less. I like Bullitt, Gone in 60 Secods, Cannonball Run, Two Lane Black Top, Smokey and the Bandit, and lastly Vanishing Point

I thougth the chase scene in Bourne Identity was awesome. (Supremacy's chase was pretty good too). The mini was awesome... talk about a car you wouldn't think of using in a fast chase.

fast ant the furious is only good for comedic porposes, so many things wrong with that movie, and the second one was pointless. Ronin was awsome and the origional gone in sixty seconds was just hot. The new one is not to bad either.
