Your video, The French Connection Car Chase, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Another favorite, Bullitt, but not as risky as French Connection

my top 5:

Bullitt - look at the chase scene camerawork, before & after, this film. it's a little like watching buddy action movies, before & after Lethal Weapon.

French Connection - you have no idea, what it took, for that scene to be filmed. unless you DO know what it took, which is like 5 ppl here including me, in which case you know what i'm sayin'.

To Live And Die In L.A. - Friedkin does it again.

any chase scene from any of the Mad Max flicks

Blues Brothers - also funniest chase scenes ever

Um, The French Connection, anyone? What, no love for Friedkin? And not to sound like some old fart here, but if you watch the chase scene from First Blood, that one was pretty gnarly too. Short, but it felt real.

Some might say Bullit and French Connection were better, but then you would have to realize that Bullit, the French Connection, and Seven Ups were all directed and produced by the same person. In fact, Bill Hickman is a major driver in all three movies. Yes, the guy in Bullit's Charger is the same guy driving the big boat of a car in this clip. He also did most of the high speed stuff in the FC.

A Clockwork Orange (1971) - Stanley Kubrick
Fiddler on the Roof (1971) - Norman Jewison
The Last Picture Show (1971) - Stephen J. Friedman
Nicholas and Alexandra (1971) - Sam Spiegel ...all nominated, all great films(, cept nick n alice, neverseenit!)..check it, The French Connection Directed by
William Friedkin...?!Friedman....nevrmnd

I thought the one in the French Connection was pretty good too....in terms of pedestrian hit potential.

I was going to go with a whole "classic car chases" theme (for example: The French Connection, Bullitt, The Italian Job (1969), but the Blues Brothers is the one I enjoyed most, and I decided just to stick with this one.
As far as newer movies go, The Transporter, Ronin, and The Rock had pretty good ones. I'm sure other 'sifters have their favorites...
