Autoblog did a list of 10 movies for car enthusiasts. Containing:
Ronin
Repo Man
Gone in 60 Seconds
Two-Lane Blacktop
Cannonball Run
American Graffiti
Smokey and the Bandit
The Road Warrior
Vanishin Point
Bullitt
Wich others movies come to your mind from a enthusiast’s point of view (except from this Fart and Furious-Thing)?
I like
The Bourne Identity
with this little Mini as well as
The Italian Job
, all parts of the
Mad Max
-Saga,
The Professional
with J.-P. Belmondo in wich he hoons the crap out of some French little cars. And there is
The Transporter
with Jason Statham wich is all about cars. Do you remember
Faster
? The Rock is out on revenge in a’70s Chevelle. And they missed out
Drive
with Ryan Gosling. I love the beginning sequence and the lonely night drive. What about
Days of Thunder
? Or Le Mans with the inimitable Steve McQueen?
Rush
?
Deathproof
by Tarantino!
Blues Brothers
!
What’s your Top Ten? A Top Five will suffice.

Blues Brothers !
Not including this is a major oversight. This movie had car chases on and off for probably 3/4 of the movie, and the last one into Chicago was record-setting in its day.

Death Proof is definitely one of my favorites. Kurt Russell is great and I love Novas

Fun fact about the Matrix one you sited.
Almost all the cars are GM. Even the majority of police cars are older Caprices or Impalas. I remember seeing it in the theater and thinking...hey wait a minute....

This chase has always entertained me.
Although the car part only lasts a few seconds.

Always thought the Bond movies had good chase scenes, usually involving Aston’s

How to make a brilliant chase without a lot of explosions.

I can only conclude that in leaving out The French Connection, they are probably a bunch of lumpy-assed dickwhistles.

What? The Blues Brothers isn’t on the list? Fail. I would also include The Seven-Ups.
That's Bill Hickman at the wheel, who also drove the black Charger in Bullitt.

I forgot about the best car chase featuring Bill Murray:
Unfortunately I can’t find the full chase, but most of it minus some tiny bits is in this video with Russian narration.

YUP
I remember seeing it in the theater and my friends are all there happily watching along and all I can think is GM, GM, GM, GM, GM, GM, GM
I wanted to tell my friends but didn’t want to interupt the movie, i told them afterwards and they were like...what are you talking about?!
Once it came out for us to watch at home I pulled it up for them and was like SEE? They were amazed they didn’t notice it.
