Smells faintly of rancid stilton.
Nothing good released, just special editions and tv series...

I picked this up today:
This movie, has in my opinion, the best car chase ever put to film, and if you want to disagree with me, then watch the movie, and come back with a film you think has a better chase?
I was also going to get this:
but I decided against it.

This is out today apparently. I wouldn't buy it, but it's worth a rental if you're interested in African cinema. It's a fictional critique of Senegal's post-colonial situation. It'd help to have some knowledge of the events surrounding Senegal's independence too.

exactly. I think since the movie is a new DIGITAL transfer, the audio is Dolby Digital. So it should sound sweet as hell when watching that car scene.

I love Bullitt... and I thought like you until I saw what is my new champion and I respectfully submit:
as having not just one, but two holy shit awesome kickass auto chase sequences in it.
Ronin is good but you can totally tell that DeNiro is about to shit his pants during the car chase. One of the only times I can ever say his acting is bad. Steve McQueen actually did the driving so there is really no comparison. Next time you watch Ronin just look at DeNiros face it hard to stop from laughing.

If I buy anything on DVD this month (I can pretend it's June now, can't I?), it'll be this...
Of course, I'll buy this one, too...

Bought this today.
Re: car chases in movies... I have seen them all. Nothing compares to Bullitt, nothing. Not only was the driving, the cars, the editing, the engine noises, etc. top notch, but on top of all that the atmosphere is unmatched. Ronin is nice and all, but it feels choreographed, and there are hardly any in-car shots. Plus the locations (nothing beats San Fran) and the cars (bah, wimpy Euro cars compared to American muscle!).

Goddamn right...nothing touches the chase scenes in this flick. The driving techniques (the reverse e-brake turn is just insane), the intensity, the sound, and the narrow streets you can only find in old Europe kick my ass everytime I see 'em.
Having said that I plan on picking up the two disc Bullit at some point...been a while since I've seen Steve's romp through San Fran.
And Grand Prix needs a DVD release...the best racing/sports movie I've ever seen by a million miles. Don't even try and compare Le Mans to it. :lol

He's "driving" through the narrow streets of Paris at excessive speeds...I think I'd look half-scared in that situation. Hell, I'm half-scared when I watch the ridiculous "Rendezvous" video showing a Ferrari ripping up the streets of Paris at 5 in the morning, and there's little of the traffic that's encountered in Ronin. Then again Rendezvous was 100% real, which makes a world of difference.
BTW, if you've never seen Rendezvous, do whatever is neccessary to view it (think I got mine off Kazaa)...it's simply ridiculous.

...and that didn't stop me from enjoying the chase scene in the least.... a few years back I saw the Bullitt chase scene again...and while it's nice and long and I LOVE the roar of those engines at high speed... coupled with the great camera work it does give you an adrenaline hihg... but I can't remember being very impressed in terms of technical driving moves... maybe I need to watch it again... but watch complex driving moves does he pull off?
BTW McQueen doesn't do all the driving in that chase sequence he did do a portion of it.

Speaking of Bullit, its on TCM right now on the east coast, and the car chase just ended.

I usually do it, but I was offline for a week while I went on vacation.
Anyway, in addition to what's already been posted, notable discs are:

And here's the complete list.
