1) Blues Brothers
2) Bullitt (Am I the first one to spell it right?)
3) Ronin
4) Matrix Reloaded (but you gotta see it in IMAX!)

Gone in 60 Sec, especially the remake, doesn't even make the list. Why? Because it wasn't real. Film and computer tricks make it look like cars going 30mph are going 70.. that's not a chase.

If you get the Bullitt DVD there are some additional materials that show the Corvette chase/film vehicle that was made to keep up with the 440 Mopars and heavily modified Mustangs used in the main chase. They show them actually filming at 60+mph, and all the mistakes that they left in the movie (cars driving through that weren't supposed to be there, the missed turn, the overshot turn that wrecked some guy's parked Ford & camera stand, etc).
