While not particularly good in the traditional sense of a movie (i.e. plot, acting, all that stuff), the '70s car chase movie was at least entertaining. Movies like Gone In 60 Seconds, Vanishing Point, Death Race 2000, Firebird 2015, Smokey and the Bandit and The Cannonball Run were an interesting breed, and they seem to be back in vogue with the remake of Gone In 60 Seconds (with a slightly bigger, if not better, plot) and the "Fast and Furious" movies.

What was the Sandra Bullock Movie with the bus? What about Runaway Train
with Jon Voigt and Rebecca DeMorney and Eric Roberts. A train being
chased. I haven't seen any of the above chase scene movies. Can you name
some more?

I think the Sandra Bullock one you're thinking of is "Speed" (never saw it either).

Runaway Train was in the Eighties and didn't involve any cars as far as I know. Speed was more along the vein of Airport or No Highway In The Sky than that of Death Race 2000 or The Cannonball Run. Speed 2 involved a cruise liner; apart from the scene where the liner ran aground at full speed it didn't involve any land. Other than that, it is mindless enough to be compared to Smokey & The Bandit.
