Matrix shouldn't be in there. Bourne should be higher up. Glad to see
Bullit top.

Bourne 'should' be higher up. Matrix Reloaded has a great car chase and
probably should be in there but deserves its low place. Really glad to
see Ronin in there (though the best sequences are in and around Nice and
not Paris as the article says). Ronin should also be higher up. Agree
Bullit should be top (given the way it was filmed and the extent of the
driving by the two actors rather than stuntmen).

Missing though is 'To Live and Die in LA' - one of the very first with
'against the traffic' driving (which I believe won the stuntmen awards).
Some great chase sequences in the original Hitcher too but probably
not good enough for a top ten... I just mention it cos I like the film.
In fact, the more I think the more I keep remembering great chase
sequences so I'll stop now before I drive myself mad....

As an aside I just picked up 'To Live and Die in LA' and 'Year of the
Dragon' for £3.99 each including postage from play.com. Bargain!

If you like your comedy/action the box set of 'Beverley Hills Cop' (3
DVD's) was a fiver.

What about the film, "The Chase" that Charlie Sheen in it? A car chase from
start to finish.
