The Jørgen Leth films, Stars and Watercarriers and A Sunday in Hell are by far my personal favorites. La Course en Tête is great also.

Finally, there's a video documenting Chris Boardman's Hour Record that is a good view as well, but it's got a different feel to it.

Discovered this one on YouTube:

It's about the year Wiggo won the Tour. Not a classic, but well done, and if you like Wiggo (I do) it's an interesting glimpse of him.

There was a time before VHS tapes when art house theaters would show these two films as a double feature. That was the only way to see them.

What is a VHS tape? An art house theater? A double feature? These are subjects for another thread.

I watched "A Survey of Open spaces" last night -- A good documentary of three people riding their bikes self supported from Brownsville Texas through Alaska. That was fun.

When my Dad, whose name is Dave, used to train locally my Mom would go find him and make sure he had food and water and no problems. I'd be riding shotgun and roll down the window and say "up dave, up....up dave"

I haven't seen Ride the Divide mentioned yet but I quite enjoyed it.

Giro Live!

Got to go with "Tread".

Here is the trailer: http://vimeo.com/34309946?lite=1

Watching this takes away any of the stress/pressure of those roadie group rides and brings out the fun of riding.

Oh, Quicksilver. And another more modern day messenger movie, Premium Rush.

2 Seconds. Excellent movie out of Quebec that bridges the hipster/fixed gear world and old school Italian sensibility.
