any of these are 100 times better than fast and furious cgi defy gravity rubbish we now get...
-
Vanishing Point was just an amazing film. The whole journey just felt spiritual and the people he met on the way solidified that.
-
Born in the sixties
Reared in the seventies
Teenager in the eighties
Seen every one of these movies
It was a good time to be alive. -
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry had to be here.. love that movie!!!!!
-
I bought a brand new '78 T/A because of The Bandit Burt. 43 years later and I still have it. Worth more than all the money I've put in it.
-
When Bullit was first in the theaters , when the camera shot was from inside the car driving through San Fran hills, the audience' heads would sympathetically bob forward and back .
-
Loved the pre-CGI days when real cars driven by real people were used in the films.
-
The destruction of all those great old cars breaks my heart
-
The Driver always gets overlooked in greatest car chase scenes. Thanks for including it in this video.
-
Even though it wasn't in the 70's I still think that bullit was the best ever. And later on was the blues brothers classic.
-
The original Gone in 60 Seconds that was probably one of my favourites
-
One of my favourite chase scenes is the opening car chase in 1979's Mad Max
-
I have watched and enjoyed all of these movies and The Gumball Rally came to mind, of course it is a car race movie.
-
Happy to see The Seven-Ups on this list. Despite starring Roy Scheider, it's hardly ever mentioned anywhere. Kind of a forgotten minor classic.
-
Pretty much the best car chase movies of the 1970s. Of all time, Bullitt(1968) is still the gold standard!! There were great car chase sequences in a 1958 film called "Thunder Road", comedic chases in "Its A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (1963), "What's Up Doc" (1972) had great car chase sequence through San Francisco. Another great car chase sequence was in "Paper Moon"(1973). Set in the Mid Western mi The one in "The Blues Brothers"(1980), "Speed"(1994)involving a 1960 GM New Look Fish Bowl Bus. So many over the years.
-
Vanishing Point my absolute favorite I was lucky enough to own a black 70 R/T Challenger
-
The Blues Brothers started the 80's with a good chase.
-
I've seen all the films on this list and in my opinion Vanishing Point had the most phenomenal car chase.
-
Duel is a very underrated movie and one that goes to show that Steven Spielberg didn't need fancy special effects.
