The ultimate blending of car culture and the male condition - CAR CHASES!!!

Ok, you got me. I love car chases. Something about combining my passion for cars along with my equally perverse love of danger and speed.
Speed Channel quenched my never-ending thirst for the above with their Hollywood's Hottest Car Chases show that I caught (quite embarrasingly) by mistake. Here's a quick list from their site and some direct links to what could be considered the best representation of what makes us car junkies tick.

The Greatest Movie Car Chases of All Time

The French Connection (1971)
The Italian Job (1969 & 2003)
The Bourne Identity (2002)
Smokey and The Bandit (1977)
The Fast and The Furious (2001)
The Blues Brothers (1980)
Quantum of Solace (2008)
To Live and Die in LA (1985)
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (1974)(1998)
The Dark Knight (2008)
Judgment Day (1991)
Bad Boys II (2003)
Vanishing Point
Rendezvous
The Matrix Reloaded
Cannonball Run

Sure, some are overrated; some are over CGI'd. Some are true classics, some should be forgotten. They all do have ONE thing in common - they all aspire to be as good as my personal favorite; the unforgettable, the undisputed heavyweight car chase champion........ 1998's Ronin and the fabulous E34 M5 with that terrific engine sound.... enjoy!!!
