Dragonsreach beat me to it, but Duel by Steven Spielberg is a classic car chase.
Greatest car chase ever filmed -

If you are wanting bike races how about the chase/race on the light bikes from the movie Tron
I\'m not saying it\'s the best car chase ever, but I saw Quentin Tarantino\'s Death Proof last week and I really enjoyed the car chases there. The fact that the film is stuffed with references to the classic car chase films, mentioned throughout this thread, in true Tarantino style (one of the reasons I enjoy his films) makes it even better.
And, Kurt Russell is excellent in that film! I think it\'s my favourite performance of his ever.

Ronin has one of my favorite chase scenes... and of course Bullitt - bring on the muscle!! And I do have to say Matrix Reloaded just because a chase involving kung fu and agents jumping on cars is fun to watch~
After seeing some comments abouts some comedies, I have to say one of my favorite comedic \"chase\" scenes is in Kung Fu Hustle, where the landlady chases the main character all cartoon style... then she goes *splat* on the billboard! Too funny!! :drunk:

If a horse and a tank count as a car chase I vote for the last Indiana Jones.

Well, if you are counting foot chases then I vote for the beginning of Men in Black.

The parking lot scene in Diamonds are Forever ( I was a kid, it was awesome...)
remote control BMW in Tomorrow Never Dies was fun
Mercedes and 3 BMWs in Peacemaker was inventive without being over the top

If we want to include those the two in The Matrix are great too.
Lots of good \'foot\' chases in HK/Taiwanese martial-arts movies and there are at least a couple in some animes (GITS has one IIRC).
Excellent one (or two, depending on how you define chase) in Last Of The Mohicans and I\'m sure there are some other worthy contenders in westerns.
They kick ass, definitely. Superb camera work.Originally posted by COG

I found mentions of that when I looked online, but I\'m embarrassed to say that I can\'t remember it for the life of me (I know I\'ve seen it). Same with Vanishing Point and the original Gone in 60 Seconds - no recollection!
Not really a car chase though.
