I’m still not sure what this movie is about, but it is wonderful to watch. Steve McQueen is the essence of cool in this 1968 caper directed by Peter Yates. Apparently, his character was modeled after San Francisco Police Department inspector Dave Toschi (portrayed by Mark Ruffalo in David Fincher’s 2007 film Zodiac), but minus the bow tie.

In addition to McQueen and his inimitable style, as well as a beautiful young Jacqueline Bisset, Bullitt features one of the most exciting car chases ever put on film, with McQueen doing much of his own driving in a Ford Mustang GT 390 fastback.

McQueen. Bullitt.
