Bullitt
»rank: 2924
0ur opinion: :San Francisco has been the setting of a lot of exciting movie car chases over the years, but this 1968 police thriller is still the one to beat when it comes to high-octane action on the steep hills of the city by the Bay. The outstanding car chase earned an 0scar for best editing, but the rest of the movie is pretty good, too. Bullitt is a perfect star vehicle for cool guy ...
