I agree Rooster. The chase scene in Bullitt is way better but the French Connection is a better film. Seeing the Blues Brothers checking out the stores in that mall was pretty funny though [:D]

Bullit
French Connection was good because of the editing and because Hackman is so good. Certainly, it is the only movie where I have seen a car chase a train from underneath

For comedy, I have always liked "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World." (Possibly missing a "Mad" there in the title.) The entire movie is chase scene, although some parts digress in places, such as the destruction of the gas station scene. The actors in it were some of the biggest comedians of the time.

How about the final chase scene in Waterhole #9 (with James Coburn). A strange amalgamation of Cavalry, Indians, Prostitutes, Cowboys, and City Dudes all chasing the treasure on horseback, buckboard, and (if I remember correctly) a balloon!
Gotta get that movie added to my NetFlix queue. Haven't seen it in years and years, but I still remember the theme song "Code of the West" by (I think) Roger Miller.

Oh, my wife and kid are so tired of me throwing that DVD in a laughing my <bleep!> off everytime I watch it. That was a really good chase scene of those 2 taxi cabs chasing Captain Culpepper. There was one part where one guy in an alley waited till the veeeery instant before jumping out of the way out of one of the cars. Classic.

Yea, that was priceless! Spencer Tracy was excellent in that movie.

But wasn't it named 'Water Hole #3' ?

I saw Live and Let Die for the first time in a while this weekend. That was a pretty good chase scene with the speed boats. I like the old southern country sheriff at the end of the chase after climbing out of that wrecked police car"A SECRET AGENT? ON WHOSE SIDE!!??' [:D][:D][:D]

No one has yet mentioned 'the Shining'. Jack Nicholson's great.

The shining had a chase scene? I havent seen that one in a while. (tries in a futile attempt to rack his easily confused brain to remember a chase scene) [:D]

Well, Jack Nicholson does chase his family around with an axe for quite a bit...[;)] I did say any sort of chase scene would be applicable to this thread.

Jack Nicholson, with an axe, playing madman and chasing his old lady. Pure brilliance.
