Last night we watched Bullitt, and the car chase scene got me to thinking, which car-chase scene was the best - Bullitt, The Seven-Ups, or some other movie. Myself, I've always liked the car chase from The Seven-Ups. What do you think? YouTube - bullit famous car chase YouTube - The Seven-Ups Car Chase (1973)

His truck was on fire and, man, I never thought I'd see something like that on the news while I was waiting for Power Rangers to come back on...

The freeway scene in The Matrix: Reloaded comes as a close second though, just down to its sheer awesomeness/wow factor.
