Well, I was surprised by how good Rush was...

Another thing that might fit in this thread: HTP are going to run a pair of Mercedeses in DTM next year, might or might not be gone from BES.

Perhaps that's where Max Buhk and Gotz are headed to? I'm not sure if Schneider has any interest in going back.

Go see Rush, unless that was a sarcasm or something.

But this director is definitely a step or few down from Michael Mann. And so is Tom Cruise (can't avoid Days of Thunder comparisons) considering that Brad Pitt and Josh Brolin were associated already in 2009.

Well I loved Rush and will even admit to liking "Le Mans" not sure how they will show the epic battle between the evil italians and the courageous american under dogs, well lets hope they have a more even handed approach. I have never been a fan of ferrari but in that battle there was never bad guy, but we all end up choosing sides and i hope like Rush we get a film we can all like.

I haven't seen Rush. Heard it's pretty well done.

But seriously there is a lot of really bad racing movies:

Grand Prix
Winning
Days of Thunder
Spinout
About a million really bad lower-budget ones from the 50's, 60's and 70's
and, of course, the infamous
Driven


There's a very few good ones
Le Mans (of course!)
Disney-Pixar's Cars (Cars 2 is okay, as well)
To Please a Lady (Old Clark Gable movie)
There's some other ones that aren't too bad:
Speed Racer
The Love Bug (first Herbie movie)
The Green Helmet (Low budget, but pretty good)
The Big Wheel (Old Mickey Rooneymovie)

Talladega Nights is awful.

Here's one not yet mentioned and starring a surprising name and from a pretty well known director, altough it doesn't really have much racing scenes:

Very hard to like it because of what it containts since it is a document essentially. Altough only half of it is real - the fake engine sound is hilariously asynchronous.

Have to stick up for Talladega Nights here. Absolute genius. Albeit the racing scenes are the worst part - same as Rush.

Since Thor was James Hunt, is Captain America going to be Dan Gurney?



On a more serious note, I haven't read the book; is it fairly focused on the racing?

Oh yes.pick it up now! You will love it.as a Le Mans fan you will love it.

I was looking at it because it came up in a search for ford books then I saw it was about Le Mans and I had to pick it up. I have come to read it every year in the month leading up to Le Mans.

My wallet's still in recovery from my trip to Petit Le Mans, but I might try my local library.

No, but there are some chili recipes. Eat too much chili, and the title still fits.

Well, you lot better be right! I just splashed 6 quid for it on Amazon.
Meantime, I'm not sure of Cruise playing Shelby. But at least I can see the race cars over his head...

Same here love the book read it every year before Le Mans.not really convinced this will turn into a good movie yet, and Tom cruise doesn't really add to that feeling.

Tom cruise as Carroll Shelby is as lame as Ben Aflec as batman.
