Then I looked him up on IMDb and saw that he also did stunt driving for "The French Connection." He even did stunt driving in Bond films. Who knew? So tell me, where would your list be without the incredible stunt driving of the late Bill Hickman (1921-1986)? A tip o' the hat to you, mate!

I agree with most of your choices, but am surprised that you left off "The Gumball Rally" (1976) which featured a host of fantastic and highly desirable sports cars racing cross country. Of course the icing on the cake is seeing an original 427 Cobra and an original Ferrari Daytona Spyder racing hard along the open freeways and in the L.A. river. Hard to imagine treating these über-valuable cars this way in today's world, but things were different back then. Great list!
