I liked the scenes in Transporter and Transporter 2. But the Bourne movies had better chase scenes. Ronin had a sweet chase. Sadly, I've never seen most of those other classics you've all listed.

Gone in 60 Seconds. The remake had a better story, but the original was like one long chase scene ... with lots of carnage. Eleanor was one nasty beeyotch.

Ronin for sure or the chase scene in the original Bourne movie. either one of these get my vote for the best chase scene.

all of those listed are great!
This is one of my favorite chase scenes of all time. It may not count as, it is primarily with bikes.
