14 Best No-CGI Car Chase Action Movies of All Time

They ruined car chases with over the top cringey fast and furious CGI crap

I grew up watching these chase scenes so the modern CGI ones always look fake too me.

When Elwood Blues removed his hat in respect for the Bluesmobile I always shed a tear.

Glad you included The Driver. It has some classic car chases and when he demonstrates his driving ability by destroying the Benz is an all time classic scene.

McQueen is also the King of motorcycle chases in The Great Escape.

The best part of the "Bullitt" chase is when the dude driving the Charger sees that Mustang in his rearview as it pops up.

The last scene of dirty Mary crazy Larry. Is in the opening credits of the TV show The Fall Guy. Just a piece of useless trivia but it's true.😊😊

Interesting that Bourne in the mini cooper performed many of the same stunts that made the original "Italian Job" movie so great. Cool car, cool stunts.

Vanishing Point....still the best...but Im biased as I was in it (was just an extra here in Denver)

Dirty Mary Crazy Larry is my all time favorite old school car chase movies. I was crushed at the ending

The Blues Brothers is (in my opinion) the best film ever made. It has everything, amazing car chases, the best music, and great comedy.

Made even more impressive by the fact the cars used in these movies were heavy, had not-so-great brakes and handling, but still took a beating and kept going with skilled drivers.

Bill Hickman and Cary Loftin were two of the best stunt drivers in Hollywood. RIP

Best car video I have seen a long time. Presentation and editing are great. Most agree that "Bullitt" is the best car chase scene but I still have to stick with the original Gone In 60 Seconds chase. That one is off the charts.

Maybe not a car "chase" movie per se, but to me the most authentic, and realistic car movie was 2 lane black top. The sounds, and most of the terminology was as accurate as any Hollywood car movie ever made. Maybe the plot, and acting sucked, but the car scenes, and drag racing was spot on. But to me, the best car movie, was American Graffiti. Pretty good acting, story line, and car scenes. When ever we left the drive-in, after watching these movies, the outside roads were scarred for life. :)

My favorite chase movie is Duel in that there was more intensity in the drama of the hunt and chase. Action scenes notwithstanding but constant action and crashing doesn't necessarily make a good movie. In Duel, the whole movie was a hunt and chase scene but it was as intense as any chase scene movie I know of - for most of the movie! That is, Duel worked as it focused on the drama of the chase without majestic and exaggerated music and without the constant crashy action. Kinda like Jaws - that movie was scary as h*ll with very few actual shark action scenes - like when the shark "'appeared" during the singing of "Show Me the Way to go Home." Friggin' one of the scariest movie scenes ever!

Gone In 60 Seconds will always be #1 with me.

Mad Max is my favorite- but Bullitt (sp?) is the all time great... so there's that

Watching this brought a tear to my eye seeing those beautiful cars being destroyed. There's not too many around and they're expensive. I can see why.
