They left out "It's a mad, mad, mad world".   The entire movie is replete with car chases, all of them real stunts.

The latest MadMax movie, Furiosa also has a spectacular vehicle chase. Fun movie, see it on an iMax screen.

Glad to see The Seven-Ups and Ronin made the list.
My favorites.

How did Quantum of Solace make the list? They cut the film every 2.1 seconds for 3 full minutes. I don't know how people can sit through that. I couldn't.

I've never seen it.  Does it use that spastic editing technique where you can't really tell what happened?  I hate that.

Yes. In fact, it has to be among the all time worst examples of it. It's like they dropped 90 feet of film into a blender, pureed it, got drunk and glued it back together again. Absolutely headache inducing. Most of the time you can't tell what is happening. It's just loud noises and random, flashing images.
