I'd say 'Bullit' gets a notice with good chase scenes, as far as all-round
car movies are concerned the old 'Le Mans' gets high marks (some boring
stuff at the start IMO, though). As far as pure mayhem is concerned, The
Blues Brothers is an excellent one. And let's not forget 'The Italian Job'-
speaking of weird endings... anyway, I'm not sorry I spent $20 on the tape,
guess I'll watch that one a couple of times.
