What's yours? All I remember is "Breaking Away" which I saw at the theater back in the day(I must have been 8 or 9...and dropped my BMX bars 90deg to race around the neighbourhood lol). I'd like to see a documentary or 2...

I went to blockbuster to rent "Breaking Away" the other day and they don't have it. I was really disappointed.

My favorite is Rad. It's a BMX movie from the mid 80's.

'The Road to Paris' a documentary chronicling Lance's preparations for the 2002 Tour de France.

The bike chase scene in ET. Before the cheesy 'et can make bikes fly' moment. Man, that takes me back.

"A Sunday in Hell". Really the best film I've ever seen on cycling.

Bike chase in ET was the best scene for me. As for movies, American Flyers was great.

"The Triplets of Belleville". I saw it 3 times and I can't get enough of it. I just love it. There are so many things that touch me in that movie. Maybe it helps that I'm french...

The Hard Road was all right. Do a search of the forums to find some comments on it.

I thought American Flyers was really pretty good. It actually looked like Kevin Costner could ride!
