I would like to create a library of good cycling flix…other than Breaking Away. Got any good ones?
triplettes de bellville. It is animated. Really good though. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286244/

Does the cycling scene from Sixteen Candles count as a cycling movie? Remember Long Duck Dong riding the exer-bike with " Oh Sexy Girlfriend" on it?
I wanna thank you for loaning me the Donger.
He’s really bitchin’
Don’t forget my favorite: “Quicksilver” (with Kevin Bacon) and “Rad” (if Prom could really be that cool)

A Sunday in Hell
Jorgen Leth
x2 for A Sunday in Hell - the best cycling movie I’ve ever seen by a long ,long way.
Hell on Wheels follows the Telecom team in the TdF a few years ago and is also great - made me a huge fan of certain riders I didn’t know enough about.
For the best Tour de France footage ever though do a youtube search for…err…“Best Tour de France Footage ever filmed”. I may start a new thread to commend this to people but it’s rushes from the movie “Wired to Win”/“Brainpower” and is just mindblowing - you can download a higher quality version too as a podcast
holy crap i can’t believe they took tyler hamilton out of the movie!
they should have played it up. the willingness to do anything to win is part of being wired to win!
