Next Sunday ESPN Classic will air "Breaking Away" possibly one of the finest roadie movies made. 9pm eastern standard time.

Thanksgiving Day I caught most of the movie 'American Flyers' while waiting for the family to get ready to head out.I hadn't seen this movie since it came out at the Drive-Inn years ago.I wasn't into cycling then and couldn't tell you I watched it because I was there to drink beer.But NOW after seeing this movie its great! Maybe the script isn't as good as 'Breaking Away' but I thought it was a better cycling movie.Sucked thy announced Eddie Merkx at the start of the race and only flashed his picture.Great cycling shots.I've watched Breaking Away twice this year.I'll pass this time:)

Both American Flyers and Breaking Away are out on DVD. AF has both wide screen and standard formats, you miss some of the action in standard mode though.

Both can be rented at Netflix without leaving you computer and losing precious Bike Forum time :p
