24 hour solo (mtb)
Off Road to Athens (mtb)

all of the above are racing documentary type vids

General movies that involve bikes that I have

Breaking Away
American Flyers

I also have some Tour De France tapes/dvds and an old school paris roubaix dvd of bootlegged cbs coverage. The john tesh commentary and original score are pretty amazing.

I've got a French Canadian film from the late 90's called 2 Seconds. It's pretty good - aside from a couple of goofy "wtf" moments. About a female downhill racer who is forced to retire and then decides to become a messenger in Montreal (I think?).

I also have Breaking Away, Triplets of Belleville, and The Flying Scotsman.

Quicksilver. The public library has Hell on Wheels if anyone wants to see some dudes getting their legs messaged by other older dudes.

I just watched "A Sunday in Hell" for the first time this weekend, about the 1976 Paris Roubaix. The openening scene with the race mechanic cleaning the chrome Benotto to cello music made me all misty.....
