So, what are your favorite movie foot chases, ones that were memorable and unique to you?
(They don't have to be part of this list)

For me, a few are:

Brick, when JGL is being chased by the gang member around the school. He kills (presumably) him by tripping him into a light pole.

Casino Royale, bringing Bond back, more physically fit than ever.

Heat, the scene at the airport is beautiful.

The Bourne Series (don't shoot!), having a action movie where the action guru is so calculating and simple with his takedowns, and until then hadn't really been challenged, was quite memorable.

District B13, very memorable, with the shared art of parkour with CR.

What about you?

    I always found the actionscenes in Last of the Mohicans brilliant, and indeed some great footchase scenes at the end.

    This is why there are two Matrix scenes and the 3 Bourne movies are all next to each other. Correct: no ranking.

    I never really thought of the Hot Fuzz chase as special.

    But how I do love that film. :)
