Ive always said every good movie has a bike in it but not every movie with a bike is good.
There might actually be enough cycling movies and docs to make a "must watch" list. So, lets do it.
My favorite is Breaking Away

Enjoyed Icarus, never really got into The Least Expected Day though. I am looking forwards to what Netflix has planned for their cycling focused version of Drive to Survive.

As I sit here eating breakfast to head out to a 12 hour event one movie comes to mind. American Flyers.

Obviously, it's Breaking Away, but The Triplets of Belleville is a fun watch.

Breaking Away has the most memorable scene.
Frame pump anyone?

Breaking Away is truely a great movie on multiple levels. It gets forgotten sometimes but deserves all the credit it can get.
I will have to watch Triplets again.
GCN has some interesting stuff too. Im glad to see how far they have come. I remember when GCN was new it was a bit sketchy.
