I’ve spent the past few days watching the Matrix and Matrix Reloaded, and had much fun sprinting during the fight scenes. Before that it was Fellowship of the Ring and Two Towers. Before that I think I found a copy of Braveheart that we had lying around.
What are you watching?
Lee
old school and american wedding…keeps my laughing and both about 90mins, perfect training time for me.
The best of the best trainer movie?:
“Without Limits”
.
Gladiator
.
This week has been The Punisher and X-Men 2
Anything with a lot of shooting is good. Dialogue not important.
crouching tiger hidden dragon
…it’s all in subtitles so you don’t have to worry about cranking up the volume

Titanic. I love that movie. “Heat” also.
…'cause that’s what I feel like most times I’m on the indoor trainer.
(I’d better get used to it, though, I’m training for IMAZ up here in MPLS).
I, personally, like anything from Briana Banks or Jenna Jameson :)~~

My wife just bought “Without Limits” and I can’t wait to watch it…hopefully it will make a two-hour trainer session go quickly.
I rented Bourne Identity last year for a trainer session and that worked quite well.
Shrek 2… 
Last week it was Ironman Canada, this week Ironman WI, next week Kona.
Also enjoy watching the 2003 tour.
Watching the greatest movie, not about cycling but heavily featuring cycling; “Breaking Away”; sprint the “Little 500”, race the Cinzano Lorry - I love this film. Great lessons on life and fantastic dialogue (1979 Best Original Screenplay Oscar)
Tom,
Titanic???
Yeah I was going to mention that too - you can’t seriously like that movie! Please tell me you are joking Tom!
SNATCH
Great dialog, great music, every line a memorable quote.
Ron
Enjoyed these on the trainer: Prefontaine, Miracle, Bend it Like Beckham, Mystery Alaska, School of Rock
Favorites (good soundtracks) but possibly for females only: Dirty Dancing, Top Gun, Flashdance
My husband enjoys tapes of European bike races but I much prefer stories.
Between this and the bikesport editorial, Tom is just revealing himself as a true romantic!
Plus, Titanic is a long movie… and trainer rides are long rides… the timing might just be perfect.
A good trainer movie is one that you want to see, but no one else wants to watch with you. I watch movies on the trainer that my husband has no interest in. That way I get to see them and he gets to escape them. It’s a win/win!
J’like dags?
the greatest golf movie ever…Caddyshack.
