Saw several movies with great car chases mentioned in the Lesser Known Movies thread, but this can be a separate topic...

Obviously the French Connection and Bullitt are right up there.

I nominate the chase in To Live and Die in L.A.

Whatchagot?

William Friedkin, who directly both films, tried to one up the famous car chase in French Connection with the one in To Live and Die in L.A.. I think he succeeded. It was the first wrong way on the freeway chase that I can recall. That has since become a cliche in film.

 
Does The Italian Job deserve mention? Kind of going off memory of it being good. Also Ronin comes to mind?

How about the original Gone in 60 Seconds from the 70's? It may have the longest chase scene ever filmed.

 
Not a traditional action movie car chase, but "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" deserves some kind of * mention.
