for me there's only 2 racing movies to consider:
GRAND PRIX & LEMANS
maybe i'm a bit biased, but i first saw GP when it was released in 1967 just a short while before i attended with the family my first ever race, the 67 USGP at the glen...yes it's dated, and the romantic bits slow it down, but what else were they going to do between races?....and i think that the actual footage from SPA is superb....
i just picked up a brand new copy of LM on vhs and still think it's a stunner....the racing footage, especially at the start is fantastic stuff.....
as far as i am concerned these are the only 2 decent race flicks....there is one more that noone has mentioned even though it is a love story more than anything else, BOBBY DEERFIELD....saw it ages ago...al pacino is, i believe, a brabham f1 driver....
