    I'm referring to car chases scenes that have real cars undergoing the real physics of flying around on the road. Not CGI car chase scenes.
    Here's a quick list of ones that I've enjoyed:
    Getaway in Stockholm (YouTube)
    Two Lane Blacktop
    Bullitt
    The Blues Brothers
    Ronin
    The French Connection
    Vanishing Point (original)
    Gone in 60 Seconds (original)
    Smokey and The Bandit
    Dirty Mary Crazy Larry
    Mad Max
    Road Warrior
    Mad Max Fury Road
    Duel
    I know I've missed a ton so bring on the suggestions!

    Somehow this fantastic chase exists in a Dabney Coleman comedy:

    Always liked this chase from a fun Bruce Willis thriller, especially when the cars go leaping about at 3:20

    My dad took me to see this one when I was a little one. Made quite an impression on both of us. Thanks, dad.

    Cold Sweat (1971)

    Curiously, like Duel it's based on a story by Richard Matheson

    The Big Steal (1949)

    This trailer shows a bit of the chase scene.

    This must have been one of the first thrillers with a major car chase sequence. Before Bullitt the device was mainly associated with comedies.

    Robbery (1967)

    It was this film that convinced McQueen to hire Peter Yates for Bullitt.

    Some of the Fast & Furious movies had some great car chase/motorcycle chase scenes.

    The nighttime car chase in SPECTRE feature Dave Bautista's Hinx in a Jaguar C-X75 chasing Daniel Craig's Bond in an Aston Martin DB10 through the streets of Rome was my favorite part of that movie with the possible exception of the cold open sequence.

    That being said, QOS chase was better. :)

    Has the original Italian Job been mentioned? Complete with a Mini Cooper ballet.

    second the original Italian Job and remake, both with great car chases.

    Plus the "Cannonball Run" movie which had a sequel.
