A lot of good ones mentioned already.

The thing that cracks me up about the Bullitt chase scene (even though I love it) is that because of they way they edited it, thecars sound like they have 8 speed transmissions. They just keep shifting and shifting and shifting. For a "car guy" it's kinds distracting. But it's still GOAT.

For non vehicle submissions, I'd throw out the movie "Run" with Patrick Dempsey. He was doing parkour before there was such a thing.

Another good one even is the chase scene from Hooper.

For those that said they haven't seen Bullitt, TCM is showing it Tuesday at 5:00 pm Central.

The 1968 (McQueen) The Thomas Crown Affair is showing before it at 3:15.

The 1959 Ben-Hur starts at 7:00 Tuesday. Great chase/race scene in it's own right!

If you want to see Maggie simmer, set the VCR for tonight (Monday) at 2:00 am. They are showing Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

-----------------------------------

They are in the middle of their 31 Days of Oscar so there's good stuff on every day. Tonight's schedule is weak compared to most of it.
