Not among my favorite movies, but as I was channel surfing I caught the accident scene in Meet Joe Black. I think it’s the best car on pedestrian accident I’ve ever seen.
Any other nominations?
The ambulance running down in the guy in the pre-credit sequence of the remake of Dawn of the Dead.
Not a pedestrian but one of the most realistic car crashes I have seen in a movie is the one in Adaptation.
I like the one in “The Orphanage”.
This one from Breaking Bad is pretty good.
“Dreamcatcher” by Stephen King was a terrible movie, but the car collision scene shocked the shit out of me the first time I saw it, and even when I knew it was coming looking for it to link here, it still shocked me (it starts at about 1:45).

This thread is awesome. Every time there’s a car->pedestrian scene in a movie, all I can react with is “oh shit!” or “that was friggin’ sweet!”, and it is immediately deleted from my brain.

Joey P already won.
(A (very little known) fact is that you can direct people to specific time in a YouTube link by adding “#t=1m45s” to the end of the URL (or whatever minute and second you want).)
Ta-da!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL0Vtb-dJ70&feature=related#t=1m45s
What do I win?
I did not know that - thanks! Of course, the chances of me remembering that are slim. 
I *never *remember it. But it’s worth a quick google of “youtube specific time” just to save people from waiting for a clip to load up 2 minutes of video to see 8 seconds.

Was just about to say Regina George getting hit by a bus in Mean Girls.
What makes that one even more hilarious is that the (censored) broadcast TV version has the driver swerve and miss him. He was doing him a favor by smearing his melting guts all over his windshield.

The least horrific, but still hilarious.
Technically, this is a pedestrian hitting a car. Thanks for playing.
This one is excellent. If I was a nitpicker, I’d point out that it’s not a movie, but WTF, let’s put it in among the finalists. Plus, some bonus points for hitting two pedestrians at once.
Eh, it was too much like popping a water balloon. Also, the climactic scene was when the old CEO guy says, “Dick, you’re FIRED” so Robocop can fill him full of lead. Really though, it would have been better if he was impaled on something at the end of his fall out the window.
I have to downgrade this because she was pushed out of frame in just a fraction of a second.
Same problem – she’s offscreen so fast there is no detail at all.
Ok, too low a speed, but not bad. We’ll let that advance to the next round.
Oh, comeon, the cab is going all of 3 miles an hour.

Not a TV show, but a music video
