Cycling Movie Time!

Everything Else
1

After the meeting on February 9th, we will be taking advantage of the huge amount of space in Otto Maas Room 112 to watch a cycling movie. The time will be 7PM.
There is a wide-ranging selection of cycling movies we can potentially watch. From the oldest to the youngest:

  • La course en tete: Follows the life of Eddy Merckx through the eyes of his family and friends,
  • The greatest show on earth: Follows the 1974 Giro in which Merckx wins by 72 seconds
  • A Sunday in Hell: follows the 1976 Paris-Roubaix
  • Breaking Away: A 1979 movie about an American teen who wishes he was Euro
  • Hollentour (Hell on Wheels): A movie about the 2003 Tour de France, following team Telekom, with Erik Zabel
  • Overcoming: A movie about the 2004 tour with team CSC (Basso, Sastre, Jens Voigt, etc…)
  • Race across America: a movie about the 2005 Race across America
  • Road to Roubaix: a movie about the 2008 Paris Roubaix
  • Life Cycles: A movie about awesome mountain-biking
    Jon, if you read this, sorry I still haven’t given you back that CD. Please don’t kill me.

Don’t know if I’ll be able to make this, but Road to Roubaix seem pretty appealing.

I have seen Breaking Away before, and would recommend it to any aspiring euro freaks

My vote is Life Cycles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJgaSTuwp7I
Let’s put it this way - I’ve avoided seeing it until now because I thought it would be disgraceful to see it on a laptop screen.

Life Cycle is pretty awesome. If anything, it’s a little too out there with the editing, but it’s still awesome.

5

road to roubaix is sick!

6

Personally, I don’t know why this wasn’t an option…

7

because it’s not out on video?

8

why am I not surprised you would post that Dennis?

9

lifecycles is really incredible. I’ll be really sad that I won’t be in town for a showing of lifecycles. Who owns a copy of it???

10

Jon has a CD, but I’ve had it for forever :S

11

is it blueray or regular dvd?

12

I’ve only heard the best things about life cycles, but aren’t we trying to get people amped up about racing road?

13

another vote for life cycles!
