What's the best driving scene you ever saw in a movie.

The first ones that comes to mind is the driving scenes in Ronan and the French Connection, but this is funny, I loved the driving in Tokyo Drift. When I saw that 350ZX hit those corners I was like man I wish I could drive like that. My favorite car is the GT500 Cobra, so you know I loved that car scene in Gone In 60 Seconds. But I have to give the nod to the 350ZX in Tokyo Drift, when the driver spun the car around and starting shooting that was.....WOW. What are the best driving scenes you ever saw?

The first one that came to mind for me was also the one in Ronin. Also in Bullit with Steve McQueen there's a pretty good one with a Mustang he's driving on the hills of San Francisco. Tokyo Drift had some good ones and there were some good ones in the first Fast and the Furious movies also (these movies look super sweet in hidef by the way).

Also The Transporter had some great scenes with another Audi and also I don't remember if it was in Transporter 1 or 2 but the scene with the BEAUTIFUL black Lamborghini. Man that car was sweet.

I'm sure there are other great scenes I'm forgetting.

EDIT: One of my favorite fun movies to watch, The Cannonball Run, has some great cars and scenes and of course Smokey and the Bandit.

there were some pretty good driving scenes in "the legend of bagger vance". i wonder if those golfers did their own driving or if cgi was used?

I know I'm watching Tokyo Drift right now.

Eddie, I never heard of that movie is it recent?

I was thinking of this:



After all, you asked what's the best "driving scene" not what's the best car chase scene. . . big difference. A worthy mention is also the first "National Lampoon's:Vacation" movie.

I was waiting for either you (Tim) are Skyhawk to make some kind of joke since both of you share a simular sense of humor, but that was funny.

Bullit! I love when that car hits the light standard!

Gone in 60 Seconds!

Please Lord before I die.

I would have to second Ronin. The car chases in that film are amazing. Also the fact that they did it for real with the actors in the car helps. The car scene in Children of Men was pretty amazing also in its one long take glory. I, Robot had an entertaining one with the robots jumping on the car. And Hot Fuzz has an amusing one that was in a straight line with no traffic. I know im missing another great one, but i just can't seem to remember any other ones at the moment.
