Bullitt. Best ever car chase; coolest actor of all time; ace cars; ace clothes (Johnny Ross in the hotel foyer - smooth as fuck); Jacqueline Bisset in her prime. What's not to like?

Was on TCM.

As for best ever car chase Bullitt is good but in my opinion THE best was the original 1974 version of Gone In 60 Seconds

Scorpio also only wanted 'every last penny's worth'...

Which made the 'this is on the house' kick look like the act of a sadist.

The thing is the original dialogue displayed that the villain was a complete cunt, and the hero, for all his outer machismo, was in reality a good bloke.

I was surprised the strip bar scenes survived the cut.

Scorpio may have been a cunt but what a cunt, people are still talking about Andy Robinson's brilliant performance 50 years after the movie was made.

The next major film he starred in is worth checking out too, Charley Varrick, where he and Walter Matthau rob a bank that holds money belonging to the mob

I don't remember anything controversial in it...

I'd rather they simply didn't show stuff than butcher them like with Dirty Harry last night.

Enter The Dragon shown afterwards looked pretty much untouched, even including the flashback confrontation between the two cops and Williams

Fair enough. All about opinions. I also make allowances for the actual cars being used. Bullitt and your suggestion win hands down on that score. Mercs and Audis? Naaah.

Should have posted this in the "Films I have watched recently" thread - not this one.

Leave it there 

Under no circumstances watch 2 or 3

Really really didn’t need a sequel it ended perfectly 

Only good thing about the second one was the 15 minute car chase 

I have no fuckin idea what the third one was about
