Default Best "car/car chase" movies
My nephew turns 16 next week, and we thought we'd send him a selection of DVDs featuring "don't try this at home!" driving scenes.

Your suggestions?

The original "GONE IN 60 SECONDS"! Chezzy 60's stuff but great chase scene. From the same era "BULLITT" with Steve McQueen a'int bad either

Tarantino's "Death Proof" was a pretty wild ride as far as recent good ones (b-rated tough chicks, fast cars, and a psycho Kurt Russell.)

#1 - Bullitt. Cars FLYING off the hills of San Fran.

I think To Live and Die in L.A. has to be on the list somewhere too.

A couple more to round out the top ten... "Against All Odds" Most the film is set in Cozumel but there is a good car race scene early in the movie. "Taxi" The comedy thats about three years old with Queen Latiffa in it.
