Click above to see Top Gear Australia's three best movie car chase scenes after the jump

Top Gear Australia put together a shortlist of what it considers the three best movie car chase scenes ever: Ronin, Gone in 60 Seconds, and The Matrix Reloaded. Out of those three entrants, we'd probably give Ronin the nod as well, even though DeNiro looks scared and/or sick through most of it, which might be explained by the fact that he's meant to chase down a BMW M5 in a Peugeot 406. Gone in 60 Seconds isn't bad, but the Eleanor and Angelina Jolie are cooler than the actual chase. The Matrix Reloaded is, as far as we're concerned, undeniably cool, but more for the special effects than the lane changing. We wouldn't mind knowing what happened to some of the other choices, classics like Bullitt or The Italian Job or The French Connection to start. And speaking of the French, even though it has only one car that you never saw, our money is still on Claude Lelouche's film Rendezvous for the best car "chase" ever. Follow the jump to check out Top Gear's picks and tell us your own in the comments.

Before I begin you should know that as the executive editor of StreetFire.net I love me some drift montage videos. And it should be noted that I did not ask the question presented in the title of this entry – believe it not, it was one of the filmmakers who produced these videos. I will protect his identity to spare him from the potential of a beat down with a sock full of P2 cards, some pursuit bars from a fixie, or whatever it is these artistic types use to submit beat downs.

With all of this in mind allow me to present the first (and potentially only) StreetFire Fab Friday Formula D Film Festival. I have three short form videos all from the some of the biggest names in drift video filmmaking (these guys are bigger than ever, its the monitors that got smaller!). All were shot at the latest FD Seattle stop. Our first submission is from Will “Cheesecake” Roegge, arguably the Quentin T of this genre. He also gets to go first because we worked together and he knows where the bodies are buried. Hit the jump to see a couple more deep and moody clips from FD Seattle and vote for your favorite in the comments. Or you can just tell us you hate these kinds of videos.

Skylar “No Known Nickname” Smith has been rockin’ the cam and Final Cut for Falken this season and he’s quickly come into his own. You can see more of Skylar’s sexy videos on Falken’s StreetFire user profile.

Last but certainly not least is Ross Fairfield, the Dead Pirate. I used pull Dead Sailors on my MXB with aplomb and I can only assume a Dead Pirate is a cooler version. Or it could be a Turd Word that I don’t know about. BTW, one of the Fab Four FD filmmakers is MIA. With apologies to Josh “Hobo” Herron, but he lagged and didn’t get his edit up in time for this post. Maybe he’s not in “the mood” to edit a clip. You know how temperamental these artsy types can be.
