RE: Hitlist: top five movie car chases

Another good one is the Robert Mitchum classic, "Thunder Road" -- aside from the fact that in the scenes in which Mitchum is supposed to be driving a 1950 Ford, the car sometimes is a '49 and sometimes a '50 (they're easy to tell apart because the '49 had F-O-R-D spelled out across the front of the hood and the '50 had a triangular insignia in that spot instead).

I think I have seen that, is that the one where he is the rum runner?

Yeah, I remember that. The British guy says to John Wayne, you can't take it past 2800 RPMs or something like that. Very good chase scene. Did Dan Blocker play in that movie or am I remembering wrong.

Yep, Techman. And Gene Berry (of "Bat Masterson" and "Burke's Law" fame) plays the government agent after him.
Oh...it's not a chase scene, but a good line about a car in a movie was in "The Killers," when Ronald Reagan (in the only "bad guy" role of his acting career) tells a cohort who's souping up a car: "Nail down the shocks ... you'll get another 10 mph out of it."

Good selections overall. I have never seen the first one though. I personally think the original Gone in 60 secs belongs on there though.
