   In older movies the car chase scene was the most expensive part, it was also what the audience wanted to see the most. Its the origin of the phrase "Cut to the chase"
   
   When making Mad Max: Fury Road, George Miller remembered that and at a storyboard meeting said "What if the entire movie is just the chase?"
   
   And they did just that

     @TactlessWookie @cosmonautkatyusha @BigTLarrity Ronin is watchable for the "What color is the boathouse at Hereford?" scene alone. Mamet can write some tight action dialogue.

     @TrevorGoodchild @cosmonautkatyusha @BigTLarrity Yes, that scene was fire.
     
     I'm not a fan of Sean Bean but he really played that role well as a retard.

     @TactlessWookie Also notable for one of the rare times his supporting character doesn't get killed

     @TrevorGoodchild @cosmonautkatyusha @BigTLarrity Curiously I have not seen French Connection.
     
     Loved Ronin. In spite of Deniro

     It's so true. The best part of Bullitt is the car chase scenes.
