Biker movies

Yeah, just a short list (I don't think you can make a long one) of cycling films.   Yes there are others, but frankly... Well, frankly they are so bad...

Anyhow, for the good:

• Breaking Away - 1979 - IMDB - quintessential coming of age movie in mid-America in the 70s.  
• 
  
• A Sunday day in Hell - 1977 - IMDB - it *is* all about the bike, and the riders, and the cobbles.  Incredibly well shot  considering that there was no GoPro to clip on the bars or helmet.
• 
  
• 6 Day Bike Rider - 1934 - IMDB - Joe E Brown at his best.  I've only seen this one time. On PBS in the late 80s.
• 
  
• Le Triplettes de Belleville - 2003 - IMDB - great little animation about the Tour de France (kinda)
• 
  
• Pee-Wee's Big Adventure - 1985 - IMDB - OK, it's not a great movie. It's more of a cult flick. Maybe not even cult - maybe more fringe group.

The as yet unseen:

• The Flying Scotsman
• 2 Seconds

Deliberately omitted:

• BMX Bandits - really?
• Quicksilver - Six degrees of Kevin Bacon? (Although it does feature Nellie Vails).
• American Flyers -- beyond schmalz
