yeah thumbs up for Belleville Ronde-vouz... all cgi i believe made to look hand drawn. thumbs down to a 40 year old being too old for it!!!

The Wizard of Speed & Time has a funky bike and loads a great stop motion. (coupled with a really cheesy plot)

Who remembers 'BMX Bandits' from 1983 ? Ive not seen it since 1983. At the time I thought it was fantastic. Proberbly a poor film though ? Would love to see it again after nearly 30 years

Oh he has caused me to. Usually wondering where the previous 90/100/120 minutes of my life have gone and why I can't have them back!!!

We always spend longer talking about a Lynch film after we've watched one than we did watching it. Genius!

Two Broad Arrows is a great short film.

The Bicycle Thieves is a classic: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040522/

and I saw this recently (more for Cécile de France) and it was a very enjoyable film: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kid_with_a_Bike

As I sit here entertaining my 4month old with a cartoon cycling movie (called Belleville Rendez-Vous) I was thinking how much I enjoy it and will put it on if I fancy just chilling out. Now I know at (almost) 40 this movie may be a little 'young' for me it made me think of other cycling movies I had seen and quite liked. Apart from this film (and it came free with a Sunday Times a couple of years ago), a movie called Quicksilver (starring Kevin Bacon.....yes him from Footloose) came to mind. From a documentary view I haven't seen many but Overcoming isn't bad.
Does anyone have any others they would recommend?

I know it's not strictly a film, more a documentary, but I really enjoyed 'Chasing Legends' of the HTC 2009 tour. Some great camera work and views of the people hidden from the spotlight, ie the mechanics, cameramen, chefs etc...plus some really great race action.
