I got this movie from Netflix, hadn't even heard of it before! I enjoyed it, though was surprised at the lack of helmets until the actual race. It was interesting how often the camera drew attention the the downtube shifters - but I am guessing those were the norm when the movie was filmed.
I am taking suggestions for other cycling movies

Catrin another option is the Leadville 100. I've read some of your posts where it sounds as though you might be intereted in some offroad cycling as well. I own the 2009 Leadville, and it's great! Lance actually won the race, but the truly inspiring part of the race were the people further back in the pack...some wonderful stories! Beautiful scenery and great history on the town as well.
Some great options for nasty weather days... either on the trianer/rollers or off!

Pity they don't have this at Netflix. I am going to see if I can get them through the library - at least the 2009 DVD before buying them - they sound great!
