Every week, we’ll pose a new “five favorites” question. You just list your five favorites that fit in that category (preferably in preference order) and you’re welcome to discuss and debate the selections and see just how much you do or do not have in common with others. If you want to take a look back at our past articles to comment or enjoy, here is a post set aside to track all of our articles.
Let’s give praise to those exciting bits of cinematic creativity known as chase scenes. They can be on foot or by car or on any other type of vehicular conveyance.

Speed and the original The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, though I’m not sure they qualify as chase scenes as nothing can catch the runaway bus and train
The Bourne Utimatum for foot chases
Honorable mention to all those Grade B westerns in which the bad guys chase the good guys and vice versa on horseback
Bullitt
The French Connection
Ronin
The Seven-ups
Casino Royale (wanted to have at least one foot chase and at least one Bond movie, which always seemed to have a great chase sequence.)
