Bullitt. The first of the great, modern car chases. Elegant in its simplicity, nothing that defies the law of gravity, just serious speed through the streets of San Francisco. Every time the movie shows up on the satellite, I switch over to watch the chase.
edit: I like car/motorcycle/whatever chases in Jackie Chan movies; there's enough silliness and sheer athleticism in them to make them entertaining. Most just bore me to tears, though; if it wasn't for the screeching-tires sound effect I'd fall asleep.
The "World's Wildest Police Videos"-style TV shows have the best chases of them all.
There's an inherently scary quality to those chases, because they could be happening on the very same roads you drive on.....
