"Breaking Away" still a good flick!

My wife and I watched the movie "Breaking Away" last night on tv. It's been a long time since I last saw it, but it is still a very good four-star movie with lots of bike racing action and great acting. All the action takes place at Indiana University. In the movie, the father of the lead role (his teen-aged son) is a rather authoritarian, no b.s. used car salesman who keeps his bike racer son on a tight leash. My wife, who has faulty judgement, said I'm just like him.
