SITE WIDE CALL!!! What are the greatest Racing Movies of all Time?
List all that you know of, including "3" and "DALE" that I already know of (we)...

"Grand Prix"?

All of them....

I one day want to have a library of all of the very best RACING movies that were ever filmed, I bet you do too!

Let's see how many there ARE!!!

"Driven" was a really great one
It talked directly to the "Winning Spirit" idea

"The Worlds Fastest Indian" was one that spoke to NEVER GIVING UP

The Great Race

(old Tony Curtis flick)


This right here is a rabbit hole that could get deeper than we know...



What are the oldest movies we can find?
How have things changed?
Do you remember specific eras?
Do you have fond memories???
