Smokey and the Bandit 1 - most of the movie.
The French Connection - the movie that really gave birth to the modern car
chase
Ronin was good.
Mad Max had some good ones in all 3.
James Bond movies have one in almost every movie. Some memorable, some not.
MI2 had a decent one on bikes, which you don't see too much of these days.
Cannonball Run - classic although more comedy than chase.
