All-time best driving movie
I still believe that the all-time best driving scenes movie is Ronin. I am still in awe of the driving in that movie. Any other good ones out there? (And don't tell me Gone in 60 seconds, seen it and wasn't that impressed)

Although I think Gone in 60 seconds is one of the best movies in a long time...
I gotta agree Ronin has the best driving scenes... the movie itself however, well... all i can say is at least I have the DVD so I can skip right to the chase scenes

Isn't that what Gone in 60 seconds or one of those movies is based after?
I remember seeing a behind the scenes taping of a movie where the director/producer or someone mentioned that.
Take it its good eh?

Bullit. Not as flashy as the new ones but a classic.

Ronin for the best movie in the last 10 years.
Bullit (with Steve McQueen driving the Mustang himself!) = best older movie.
(Hmmmm, there was also Vanishing Point -- good hwy/top speed movie.) (It was showing up lately on SpeedVision.)

There's actually a Jackie Chan flick that's entirely about racing, and he drives (if I remember correctly) a race-prepped 3000GT. It wasn't his best work nor was were the driving sequences that memorable. But there is a scene where his garage, a part of which utilizes a shipping container (RV?) as an office, is hoisted into air by a cutthroat rival with a crane. Predictably, Jackie is in it, and gets shaken out to catch himself by his fingertips on the ledge, with no camera trickery. The man is INSANE.

My Top 3 "Chase Movies":
1- Vanishing Point
2- Seven Ups
3- Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry
I also liked just about all the ones you guys mentioned. I didn't see "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry" mentioned. If you can find it, has some excellent scenes. Peter Fonda stars. Circa 1973-4 I think. Anyone else remember that movie?
Honorable mention to "Live and Let Die" Cars and Boats!

i personally liked the car scene in The Peacemaker. Days of Thunder was tight too. Ronin was probably the best.

-Luv the Bond films too..e.g. Living Daylights Aston Martin, Tomorrow Never Dies 750IL and many others..
IMO, The Rock scene with the yellow ferrari spyder and Hummmer/Humvee was better than the entire Gone in 60 seconds movie mostly because the music was *totally* uninspiring on the part of Trevor Rabin; and of course the Rock's soundtrack is my all time kick ass classic by Hans Zimmer. Not that I have anything against Rabin cuz his Armageddon ST was another favorite of mine..just expected more of him.
