Personal favorite is from Jackie Chan's "Who Am I" with that Mitsu Evo. Awesome.

Technically not a car chase, but the boat chase scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was great.

Bullitt and Ronin (what's in the damn case) come straight to mind.

runners up:
The Italian Job
Smokey and the Bandit
Cannonball Run
The Fast and the Furious

Bullitt and Ronin (both of them) are always co-leaders for me. Even though in the former they pass that green VW Bug at least twice within a minute.

Saw a special on the second chase in Ronin. That look on DeNiro's face was genuine fear.

Both Blues Brothers chases are in a class by themselves.

It's not really a chase scene, but I am surprised Le Mans (the Steve McQueen film) hasn't been mentioned. The start of race is something else. Porsche 917k's and a 917L, Ferrari 512S's, Porsche 908's, Corvettes, Porsche 911's, etc.

Oh and if anyone missed the remake of the Bullitt chase scene that was done on Alcatraz:

In recent history though, for a great movie chase scene I have to go with Jack Reacher.

IIRC those were inboard V8 engines in those. As Mills Lane would say in Celebrity Deathmatch "I'll allow it."

Gone in 60 seconds had a great one, too. (Just realized it was a remake of a 1974 movie)

Here's the second half of it:

I vote for Bullit as well, great scene. It's funny to go back and watch too if any of you have spent much time in SF; they will turn the corner down at the marina and will all of a sudden be in the mission for a few blocks, and then race around another corner into Noe Valley. It's actually very impressive editing to make it look so seamless.

This may not classify as a traditional 'racing' scene. But, if you like racing through the streets of Paris; you will love 'C'tait un rendez-vous'

The chase through Los Angeles with the fire engine and crane truck as the sun rises is pretty awesome.

Oh yes, this. T3 is hated by many but it's so fun.

The chase/escape scene in Dukes of Hazzard (2005) has some amazing driving.
