Duel. The whole movie was a car chase.
After that, Gone in 60 Seconds.
The Italian Job, French Connection, Death Proof, T2.
If we are going to go unrealistic but entertaining: every Bond movie, Mad Max 2 Road Warrior and Mad Max Fury Road for absolute over the top entertaining ridiculousness.
As for Bullitt... the chase scene from Bullitt really deserves an award for editing. The guys in the cut room made it look seamless and the streets appear to be all connected. As for Steve McQueen's driving, he only did part of the scenes, the ones where you can see his face, all the others were stunt drivers. Which is just as well because McQueen plowed into a parked car trying to make one of the turns doing quite a bit of damage to that mustang, then lost control on another maneuver and took out a camera - narrowly missing the cameraman and the assistant. It still gets an honorable mention though.
And then there was this one...
