BULLITT

Steve McQueen is peak cool-icon as Bullitt and he hasn’t aged a bit, especially on the big screen! Bullitt still hits the mark due to its gritty realism, epic car chase, and resonant jazz soundtrack.

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.

For the record, Steve McQueen winked at my mom on Sunset Blvd in LA while she was preggers with me.
