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 (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.

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

Goldeneye has a memorable scene of a car being chased.

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.

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