Last night I watched 'Overcoming' and found it fascinating. I'm a bit of a novice so what are the other 'must see' pro cycling films???

    Now I've stopped lauging :)

    A Sunday in hell and Hell on wheels are pretty good, in a gritty 70s way.

    nothing compares to a heavily bearded russian getting punched in the break basket and a heavily moustached Cosnter climbing into the van at 40 mph....

    The Final Hour. Chris Boardman,s last pro ride. We all know he broke Merckx hour record but the tension is almost unbearable. The prevarications of the UCI are almost laughable.
    This film shows Mr Boardman not just as a supreme tester, but as a real hard man, despite his illness.

    Well worth a watch, in a quirky Belgian cinema way. Liked it a lot.

    I really enjoyed chasing legends, bit weird watching it now as most of the stars have been implicated in on scandal or another but a good look behind the scenes of a modern team. Would be good to watch back to back with stars and watercarriers.

    Sunday in hell is great too. Bellville rendezvous is ace.

    American flyers is supreme. Russian gym freak in Luca Paolini's helmet. Perfect.

    Belleville rendezvous is a great film, even the missus enjoyed it :-)
    I also enjoyed breaking away, never realised it was rorschach from watchman and the guy from home alone, good old IMDB...
