A good movie and hard to find.
Of course my favorite scene is the naked chick on the motorcycle.
I assume you both are referring to the original with Barry Newman in the protagonist's role. It happens that we lived in Williams, AZ when a remake with Viggo Mortensen was filmed. I took a couple days off work to take part.

In addition to about 90 % of the aforementioned wonderful cinematic jewels, I will add
Kill Bill, 1 and 2

Gotta add Silence of the Lambs. Liked the remake of Manhunter, Red Dragon more than the original. (cuz, Anthony Hopkins as Lector) Unforgiven Dawn of the Dead (sprinting zombies!) Tombstone The Big Lebowski Saving Private Ryan Grand Torino
and most all the others already listed.

That's pretty cool. I saw that TV movie back in the '90s. Can't touch the original, though.
I took a cross country road trip in 2011. I drove through Cisco UT, where the climax of the original Vanishing Point took place (doubling for Cisco CA).
Here's a scene featuring the Shell Station where the bulldozers have roadblocked the highway from the 1971 film.
Here's my car parked in front of the dilapidated Shell building back in 2011.

LCS, the screenshot over the dozer blade from the movie is a good one. You see the parked dozers in the shot with my foot on the bumper. If you’re a good photographer, the Cisco Desert in Utah provides unparalleled sunrises and sunsets that make for some spectacular shots—I think it shows in your picture from 2011.

Cool! I did encounter some amazing sunsets during my trip. I was late getting to Cisco thanks to the snow on the highway in the mountains. The sun was going down - I was worried I'd miss daylight completely!

Vanishing Point Saw it when it came out 1971 I think.
I didn't realise until a couple years ago that it was actually was an old Camaro loaded with dynamite that they crashed. The movie company company had the Challenger on loan to save money and had to return it when filming was done.
If it ain't woke... don't fix it.

You gents have covered most of them for me.
I'll add:
Patton, Legally Blond, Used Cars, Ice Station Zebra and Miracle on Ice.
Foreign Films: Hunde Wollt Ihr Ewig Leben, Das Wunder von Bern, La Cage Aux Folles, and a few others most here would also not recognize. I recently saw a few recently made French Films (dubbed in German) I'd add to my list. The French make some really good movies.

Forgot to mention one of my all-time favs:
Slapshot
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
