Sure, American Flyers is only a good movie if you ignore any scene without a bike, but Breaking Away is a good story where a lot of the bike stuff should be ignored (at at least don't look too closely).
That's my editorializing... go out and watch/judge these movies for yourself!

Wow, great article!

I don't know most of the titles.

I watched La Course en Tete on the screen, Tokyo, when Eddy Merckx was invited by Shimano.
After the movie, talk show and autograph session were held.
It was 1985.

I missed the road-show of Breaking Away, oh sxxt.

A friend from NYC had VHS of A Sunday in Hell.
We enjoyed so much at his home.
