Title: Best Motorcycle Movies
Post by: titty on May 14, 2009, 11:04:44 AM
I was looking get some motorcycle movies for the ol' DVD collection.  I turned my cable off so I have to watch something.  I was wondering shat are the best Motorcycle Movies of all time, seriously!  I am looking for movies about motorcycles or movies that motorcycles play a primary role, not movies with motorcycles as a prop.  Bick I know you love Tom Cruise in Days of Thunder where he rides the Harley around the track at the beginning, but that is exactly what I am not talking about.

What am I missing

1.  Faster
2.  Docter, The Tornado & The Kentucky Kid
3.  Long Way Round
4.  Fastest Indian
5.  On any Sunday
6.  The Wild One
7.  ?

Has anyone seen "Little Fauss & Big Halsy" or "Silver Dream Racer"?

Would you include movies like "The Great Escape" or "Easy Rider"?

That's good, we should have a must see and a forget list.


Forget
3. Torque
4.  Wild Hogs (Bwahahahahaha)

Has anyone see "Sacrifices to the Gods of Speed" (documentary on Burt Munro)?

Fastest Indian is my favorite moto movie... granted I have seen less than half on that list.

Any recommendations for ones I MUST see?

You forgot about him racing F-14's on his Ninja (on the dirt service road) in Top Gun.

The original Mad Max has to be included on the must see list.

There are so many 70's and 80's bike movies out of Australia that are just priceless.
If you can find a source for old aussie movies please let me know.

I'm also a big fan of the Motorcycle Diaries.  [thumbsup]

Ghost Rider may be on the cusp. Could go both ways on that one...
