Quicksilver 
American Flyers
Breaking Away (so far)
The Triplets of Belleville
The only decent cycling movie I've seen so far is The Hard Road.

I thought American Flyers and Breaking Away were good. I doubt many producers understanding cycling so it will be hard for them to convey it. I'm sure a Lance movie or two is in the works.

I haven't seen any of them, but Triplets of Belleville was very well regarded, Oscar nominated, and was 93% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

You want a good cycling movie? Go rent Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

There's no dialogue.
The story line just creeps along.

Breaking Away is less about cycling than about growing up. But I think it's a great movie.

If bicycles could squeal on pavement, smoke the tires and explode when hit with a bullet, that'd help.

come on there were some funny parts......in the beginning.......the physique of the characters were hilarious. But the story dragged after that, it could have went in a better direction that's for sure
