Bullit, original Gone in 60 Seconds, original Italian Job, Deathproof (it wasn't a movie, it was an excuse for a really cool chase) and Ronin. The BMW chase films were also really good.
Other good racing/car based movies (not really a chase): Grand Prix, LeMans, Days of Thunder (you have to admit, the rental car race was fun and the look on the valet's face when they pull up is timeless)....there's a lot fo good chases and racing movies I'm sure I'm forgetting.

I'm a diehard Mopar fan and when that black Charger pulls out of the garage, it sends a chill down my spine.
"We're takin' the Charger?"
"We're not gonna catch him in a dog pie Chevy. It takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar"

Some very good movies mentioned here. "Le Mans" and "Gran Prix" are the simply the best two auto racing movies made. We will probably never see that kind of amazing cinematography and attention to detail again! ...And yes, the closing minutes of "Le Mans" with the Ferrari and two Porsches was one of the best "chase scenes" ever put on flim!

Bullett. There is no substitute. No CGI, no speeded up film, no defying the laws of physics, and no "arranged" stunts (placing some kind of ramp or explosive to make a car doing something impossible). Pure horsepower and San Francisco hills.
Honorable mention: The last two laps in LeMans. McQueen chasing down the Ferrari.

Take peek at this. I've got the DVD and there are some excellent chase scenes. I think this link ties them all up in one nice neat package...

That old Valiant took a beating but...well, I won't give it away. Youtube will do that.

I dont think Stuntman Mike died... If you watch close, you see that in the beginning of the movie he has a scar, roll cage, etc. but as the movie continues and he plays the cat and mouse game, he doesnt have the scar (that he gets from being stepped on),or the cage in his car. Tarantino filmed the movie backwards.
