The Mini chase in the Italian Job has been voted the best movie car scene of all time.
A study of 2,000 film fans saw the memorable six-minute-long car chase, with the three iconic Mini Coopers being pursued by police, rolling down stairs and even scaling buildings, top the poll.
Harry Potter and Ron Weasley dashing after the Hogwarts Express in a flying Ford Anglia in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is also considered to be one of the most memorable and exciting car scenes in movie history.
This was closely followed by the T-Birds and John Travolta singing Greased Lighting while dancing on top of the Ford De Luxe in Grease.
Sneaking in at number four was the epic moment where the DMC DeLorean time machine leaves streams of fire as it travels ‘Back to the Future’.
And fifth place went to the notable scene in Thelma and Louise where the friends drive over the edge of a cliff together.
“There are so many memorable moments featured in classic films where cars are the true stars – although not forgetting the stunt drivers who sat behind the wheel,” said Alex Brown, from Jardine Motors Group, which commissioned the research.
