American Flyer - other cycling movies?

[Thorn]

Up and Down (http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Br...637#height1677 on neflix). The first movie is...uh...artsy; the cycling movie on the disk is hysterical.

While looking through our rental queue I'd also add:

Hell on Wheels

The Flying Scotsman

Il Postino...but a bike is prominent...

documentaries...

Race Across the Sky (2009 and 2010)
Road to Roubaix

The Triplets of Belleville is one of my favorites. We found the DVD at Goodwill for $3.

American Flyers, a terrible movie IMO, had parts of it shot here where I live. I didn't live here back then though. Some of the race was shot at the Colorado National Monument.
Rim Rock Drive is a fabulous road ride. I've ridden it many times.

Oh, Catrin, that's one of my favorites. Especially since one of our friends was one of the cyclists that actually rode in the peleton for one of the actors in the movie. The beginning of the movie was set in St. Louis so they recruited local bicycle racers to ride for the actors and create the peleton for movie. Our friend was selected to ride for the African-American racer. It was a great experience for him.

Thank you for all of the recommendations. I already have a couple in my Netflix list - either for instant streaming or DVD. That $99 "internet media streaming device" I purchased from Sony has been well worth the money! That is the actual name of the device.
