BULLITT

"BULLITT" (1968)
This action / thriller is a true classic. Even its car, driven by Steve McQueen, is a "star" in its own right. It was part of a major car chase scene, that is considered the best ever filmed. It stars Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn and Jacqueline Bisset. It also has a strong supporting cast that includes Georg Stanford Brown, Vic Tayback, Norman Fell, Bill Hickman and Robert Duvall. It was nominated for 2 Academy Awards and won 1 for "Best Film Editing," which is why it was included in the schedule. It was nominated for 13 additional awards, from various entities, and took home 5 of them. In 2007 it was selected for preservation by The National Film Registry.
SYNOPSIS: "Senator Walter Chalmers (Robert Vaughn) is aiming to take down mob boss Pete Ross (Vic Tayback) with the help of testimony from the criminal's hothead brother Johnny (Pat Renella), who is in protective custody in San Francisco under the watch of police lieutenant Frank Bullitt (Steve McQueen). When a pair of mob hitmen enter the scene, Bullitt follows their trail through a maze of complications and double-crosses. This thriller includes one of the most famous car chases ever filmed."
