Breaking Away

[cameramanjim]

I´m sure this has been mentioned many times before but WHAT A GREAT MOVIE!

Watched it last night with Mrs CMJ who also enjoyed it.

In case you haven´t seen it it´s a coming of age movie about a kid growing up in the mid-west with an Italian cycling team fixation. He´s also ´one hell of a cyclist´: http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=breaking+away

We rented it from LoveFilm but it´d be well worth owning on DVD

It´s a tenner on Amazon, although much cheaper in NTSC (known in my industry as Never The Same Colour Twice) for anyone with a multi format player:

We watched it as the end-of-term film at school when I was a kid. I just remember him getting the pump in the spokes.

It's been shown on ITV4 before. I enjoyed it and so did my cycling indifferent wife.

Me too. I could only remember that I liked it, and the same spokes bit.

I recall a bit where he drafted a lorry (or was that another film?) any way I have seen it years ago and it was good!

About time they did a modern version where he dies in his sleep due to taking EPO.
