Top 10 Movies with the Best Car Chase Scenes
It may be one of the most used and abused movie cliches, but when done correctly, the car chase scene can be the highlight of any film. This list is a collection of the movies that did the car chase scene correctly.
Saw the movie in 1968, and shortly after, went out and bought a 1968 Mustang Fastback (for $3000 Canadian, right out of the showroom).
The original car chase right here. Great cars, great camera angles. Still better than car chases today!
What makes it even better is that the "stunts" were done by the leading role actor himself.
They keep reusing the soundtrack from this to try and improve all the wannabe car chases in lesser films. It's pretty funny to hear Steve's double clutching when the hero is driving an automatic Chevy.
The greatest chase scene in movie history.
The most spectacular car chase scene in movie history, with never seen images.
The best realistic chase scene. Feels like you are right in the action. Even us Yanks like it. If French were so great, it would be La Google. "Oui?"
Maneuvering in the tightest alleys and car on the wrong side.
It should be in first place.
Probably the most realistic car chase scene ever.
Physics? What the heck is physics? Everything in that last car chase was ridiculously excessive and illogical, and because of that, it is hands down the best one I've ever seen. I could not stop laughing! I had to watch the whole thing over and over again. Just fantastic!
You can't compare anything to being chased down by a country band, American Nazis, the police, the military, and tons of other groups of people.
Great chase scene with the 2 best car pileups ever!
That scene through the mall is a classic.
Holy crap, that film was so freakin' amazing. Tuned cars, lots of explosions, awesome music, it was intense. I've never seen better. #1 all the way!
Spectacular and realistic car chase scene, the best I've seen out of any movie, including Matrix, Ronin, Italian Job, etc. Not over the top (special effects such as The Matrix) and believable.
The one in Bourne Supremacy is better when he's in the taxi cab. This is still a good car chase scene, though.
What a great scene! Nick Cage was so convincing, and it really is becoming a classic.
He does his OWN stunts, people. That makes all the difference.
All the way through the hole.
It's not just about the chase. It's about the car, and come on, who doesn't like that Mustang?
How THIS MOVIE didn't make the top ten list tells me that WAY too many kids are voting on this website...
I agree. The only movies these thirteen-year-old kids ever saw are the "Fast and Furious" crap.
This should be #2.
Since this movie, the Mini Cooper became my dream car.
Of course,
But remember the crash in Blues Brothers 2000?
Simply the greatest.
Uh... no CGI, and Zoe Bell trying to stay on the hood of the car at speeds in excess of 100 mph... do me a favor, watch it and then come back and vote.
The best, most destructive car/truck/everything chase scene of all time.
One of the best ever in my opinion. Even the scenes where he wrecks and crashes into other vehicles seem very realistic. Kudos to the director and crew who shot that.
The best car chase of all time with the greatest ending ever.
One of the best car chases that's actually realistic.
Without a doubt, the best car chase ever, it has my head wrecked trying to find the song to it.
The best chase scene ever.
To not make this in the top spot is a crime. The whole movie is a car chase!
Great movie, lots of car chase scenes. Should be higher.
Can't beat a movie that is a car chase.
Classic. Amazing. Sad that this isn't on the top 10.
The best, hands down!
Car chases don't come better than this. At all.
The car chase at the beginning is super fantastic! This should be in the top tens.
Why is it not in the top 10?
Car chase on a highway, where the cars are moving AGAINST the flow of traffic.
Car chase in the river! Not only a great car chase, a film out of the ordinary in more than one sense!
Dude! The best car-chase scene ever seen!
It's got chasing and cool drifting.
One of the GREATEST car chase scenes of all time... Roy Scheider was great in this movie... check it out, youngsters...
The pursuit of the tanker truck is pure action and violence, well-filmed and well-choreographed. You can watch it again and again and again.
The first real car chase scene in history and is still unmatched by all of the above. 15 minutes was how long the last chase scene took towards the end.
