Default Motorcycle racing movies

Just got my copy of TT Closer to the edge. I must say it was an awesome movie that I highly recommend. Just wondering if anyone else has any great movies they have seen that I should check out.

If anyone hasn't heard of it here is

TT3D 2 minute TV spot - YouTube

I have also seen ( Faster ) which came out in 2003. It was a great movie also, Its based on moto gp.

I just ordered tonight off amazon ( Fastest ) which is the newer movie of ( Faster ) and also got ( The Doctor, The Tornado and the Kentucky Kid ) which is also based on moto gp, I will post back when I get them how good they are and If I recommend anyone buying them

I cannot get past the "Bike Fight" on top of the train, it makes me laugh every time.

Check out "worlds fastest Indian" with Anthony Hopkins. That is one of my favorites.

Not exactly a motorcycle movie but a good movie for anyone with an attachment to a car or something with an engine can probably appreciate the movie "Love the Beast" It's about Eric Bana's race car he built from his first car when he was 16. Thought it was a pretty good movie.

great movie, it's just hard to find states side.... and i don't have blue ray - so it's even harder. i've seen just about everyone on youtube about it. guy seems to think the movie accurately describes the tt.

i'm guilty of having that one too - but half of the movie is dirtbikes riding around with fairings. the opening is pretty badass. and you have to love those guys riding a 954 and an rc51 together.

haha the turn arounds off the trees when they're fighting in the woods in the end is pretty funny too.
