I'm in the middle of working on an article about so-called "car films" and came across the famous chase scene from Steve McQueen's Bullitt posted over on Google Videos.

Bullitt is a murky police drama that starred McQueen as a gutsy, no frills San Francisco cop assigned to guard a mafia informant. The real stars of the film of course are the green 1968 Ford Mustang driven by McQueen and the black 1968 Dodge Charger R/T of the “bad guys”. Thanks to McQueen’s attention to realism, the 7 minute chase scene between these two cars is still one of the best. Just the sound of the two V8s under full throttle makes for great entertainment.
