The survey organised by motor insurance company FirstAlternative.com asked 1,500 people to name their favourite car chase scenes, with the Michael Caine classic coming out on top.
The top five were as follows:
1. The Italian Job
2. The French Connection
3. Terminator 2
4. Gone in 60 Seconds
5. Bullitt
The Press Association quote chief executive of FirstAlternative, Colin Batabyal, as saying: "We love a good on-screen car chase and as our research shows, they look set to remain popular for some time to come.
"As long as we are getting our adrenalin rush on the big screen as opposed to behind the wheel then that's the main thing."
