The Best Car Chase Movies
When the "Film Junk" web site recently ran an online poll of their favourite "Best Car Chase Movie", we were a little surprised that our number #2 movie didn't get a mention in their Top 10. Looking around at other sites, it became apparent that making any such list of the best car chase movies would be contentious. And so, the following list is strictly what we think would make a worthwhile addition to your movie collection, if you haven't already got them. Movies not listed here, but we think worth a mention, include Vanishing Point (1971), Duel (1971), The Rock (1996), Mad Max (1979), The Blues Brothers (1980) and To Live and Die In L.A. (1985).
