When I clicked I was thinking French Connection. Then I saw Ronin mentioned. So, yeah. Ronin.
Never saw Bullitt, though.

Does the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark count?

Probably not tGOAT, but the chase scene in Nightcrawler is bad arse and one of my favorites in recent years. Great filming.

This is a bit different than what's been posted. The scene close to the opening in Behind Enemy Lines where they're being chased by a SAM:

Yes, that is the best chase film ever. It's just outstanding.

Just for this awesome Enter Sandman moment.

In addition to inspiring virtually 100% of car chases since (from the wiki):
quote:
Two 1968 390 V8 Ford Mustang GT fastbacks (325 hp) with four-speed manual transmissions were used for the chase scene, both loaned by the Ford Motor Company to Warner Bros. as part of a promotional agreement. The Mustangs' engines, brakes and suspensions were heavily modified for the chase by veteran car racer Max Balchowsky. Ford also originally loaned two Galaxie sedans for the chase scenes, but the producers found the cars too heavy for the jumps over the hills of San Francisco. They were replaced with two 1968 375 hp 440 Magnum V8-powered Dodge Chargers. The engines in both Chargers were left largely unmodified, but the suspensions were mildly upgraded to cope with the demands of the stunt work.[citation needed]
The director called for maximum speeds of about 75–80 miles per hour (121–129 km/h), but the cars (including the chase cars filming) at times reached speeds of over 110 miles per hour (180 km/h). Driver's point-of-view shots were used to give the audience a participant's feel of the chase. Filming took three weeks, resulting in 9 minutes and 42 seconds of pursuit, first of Bullitt by the hitmen then the reverse. Because of multiple takes spliced into a single end product, heavy damage on the passenger side of Bullitt's car can be seen much earlier than the incident producing it and the Charger loses five wheel covers, with different ones missing in different shots. Shooting from multiple angles simultaneously and creating a montage from the footage to give the illusion of different streets also resulted in the speeding cars passing the same cars at several different times. At one point the Charger crashes into the camera in one scene and the damaged front fender is noticeable in later scenes. Local authorities did not allow the car chase to be filmed on the Golden Gate Bridge, but did permit it in Midtown locations including the Mission District, and on the outskirts of neighboring Brisbane.

Bollywood has got it covered. It's an amazing five minutes. Physics is too real!

Speed is the obvious answer here..
Whole move was a chase scene

If those are permissible, I humbly submit, "The Naked Prey" and "Duel".
