    Wonderful show with lots of energy, wit and wisdom, and fun packed into 30 minutes.

    I agree with the selection of "Bullitt" as the top one. It was the first big time one and, I understand, it was shot using 5 or 6 different streets around San Francisco.

    Second should have been "Road Warrior" ... grappels, arrows, axes, guns ... sexy Viking type woman fighting off barbarians at the gate ... or more precisely trying to storm a tanker.

    And a "shout out" to the great crew ... writers, film editors (lots of work getting the short cuts) and special effects guys ... love the couch tomatoes.

    If you guys would have left out Ronin and Bullit I would have boycotted the show.

    All good picks in the top 5!

    If there were a top 6, I'd say Vanishing Point has got to be in there... I' mean, the whole movie is one big car chase. Not to mention his ride ... a supercharged Dodge Challenger that blows doors off of everything on the road.

    #3 REALLY!? More like the #3 most retarded car chase of all time, who's with me?! Huh huh? No? Fine. (I still love you.)

    WTF!

    Vanishing Point?
    Italian Job ('03)?
    Smokey and the Bandit?
    Gone in 60 Seconds ('74 & '00)?
    Cannonball Run?
    The Transporter (opening sequence)?
    Dukes of Hazzard ('05)? - come on, they drift the General Lee, around a statue of General Lee in Lee circle.

    I agree with 1, 2 and 4 but 3 & 5 no way. Journal has a decent list of other scenes that would be better.

    The bit with police car pile up to sad music had me rolling. Although I don't think that car chase was that cool to be top five.
