Bullitt, The French Connection, The Seven-Ups, Mad Max, To Live and Die in LA, and Ronin are my favorites. Out of all of those, I think the Seven-Ups had the best. Even in the skilled hands of Bill Hickman, those big old '70s sleds were all over the road, adding to the realistic feel

I loved Ronin, but I agree great best car chase= The Seven-Ups.
I'd like to add the Chariot race in Ben Hur, for nostalgic reasons. Also the Car chase in James Bond's Diamonds Are Forever, and the boat chase in Live And Let Die.
Too many to list, but the first one that jumped into mind is Hard Boiled. His action scenes were really innovative at the time. Hospital Scene - ( New Window )
b/c I recall sitting on the edge of my seat the first time I saw it:
The slow motion train station shoot-out scene in The Intouchables with Costner and Garcia and the baby carriage going down the steps.
You may (or may not) be interested to know that was DiPalma's "homage" to a very famous scene in a Russian silent film by Eisenstein. Battleship Potemkin - ( New Window )

The Crazy 88 and Go-Go! One of the best sequences ever.
