Cycling movies

[stu9000]

Quicksilver is on the moviemix channel tonight starring a young looking kevin bacon. Any good?

In fact what are your cycling movie recommendations? I remember seeing a great one as a kid about two american brothers who cycled to glory, but I can't remember what it was called.

I've been trying to remember the name of that Kevin Bacon movie! Have you seen it recently?

Belleville Rendezvous. Very French, very weird, very brilliant.

Got that on dvd. I'll have to dig it out and watch it again.

Obvious, and somewhat mainstream compared to many cycling films, but still a great film none the less IMO.

The fact that Belleville Rendezvous is 'always' mentioned demonstrates 2 things:
1. There is a dearth of good cycling movies
2. There are a lot of nobbers in the world

I hope one day someone will make an animated film of The Rider by Tim Krabbe.

Not a film, but a video to accompany a song, this captures the spirit of cycling - just get out and ride (but what do I know? I'm just a self-confessed nobber ).

Premium Rush is still the best actual movie that I like.

Yeah, liked that. There is something uncomplicated and youthful about cycling. I'm discovering tracks and parks I never knew existed on my doorstep. Takes me back.

Andrew culture - my tablet is telling me I "do not have permission" to quote you (only you it would seem), but to answer your question, I've never seen Quicksilver and missed it last night.

Found this tho. Doc about cycle courier in Brussels. Tough work. And no brakes!
