"Any CGI disqualifies it from being pure car chase. If above-average Joe cannot do it in his car then I do not find it exciting."

Fair, but do yourself a favor and Google "Fast & Furious" +car stunts. I just did. The vast majority of those stunts were real world which I already knew. My problem with car crashes in movies is when they blow up like they had pounds of C-4 in them. Stupid crap for 16 year old boys.

As for the car chases, I not only rule out CGI, but also any where the “ooh-ah” factor is created by editing. On that basis I rule out any of the F&F series, as entertaining as they are.

I think the last great car chases to meet this standard (and had three of them) was “Ronin.” Walter Hill’s “The Driver” also has multiple quality chase scenes.
