The Blues Brothers chase scene.....

69.9.244.89

is over the top, yet it works for due to the deadpan reactions of Belushi and Ackroyd, yet it is technically excellent.

The French Connection too is superb due to the realism it displays and the reactions of Gene Hackman. This chase is the most emotionally involving one due to Hackman and his mannerisms (and the manic driving). The audience is completely on the edge of their seats throughout the sequence. Director William Friedkin wanted realism and he succeeded brilliantly.

Bullitt is differnet entirely because of the coolness that personified Steve McQueen. The sequence here builds slowly until it's a full blown race. It's the most stylized car sequence for certain.

It's just which style you prefer. I'm a McQueen freak and I love the style in which Bullitt presents it's chase.
