Breaking away is only bike film to win an oscR for best film, or maybe it was best director.

Any new contenders that aren't sports focused? So far Wadjda looks like the best bet (little girl in Saudi Arabia wants a bike). I was also wondering about Bikes Vs. Cars - I gather it's better than its rather confrontational title suggests </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8750#post-90058 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 17:19:57 +0000 Arellcat 90058@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@JacksonP, I have a copy of The High Life. :-)</p> <p><a href="http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a470/BeckyT_bike/Miscellany/highlife.jpg"><img src="http://i1038.photobucket.com/albums/a470/BeckyT_bike/Miscellany/th_highlife.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8750#post-90050 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 16:04:41 +0000 Kim 90050@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have now compiled a list of films I hope to get shown, but don't tell that stop you suggesting more... ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8750#post-90049 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 16:03:24 +0000 Kim 90049@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>LOL </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8750#post-90029 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 14:11:11 +0000 Schraedinger 90029@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Kim, i think they followed the telekom team so it'd be a pretty easy game! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8750#post-90016 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 12:23:41 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 90016@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There was a cycling film festival about 3 or 4 or 5 years back. The reason I can remember is I interviewed a squiffy Jacquie Phelan on stage and took part in a debate on Critical Mass after a documentary about the history of the ride on stage in the main screen at the Filmhouse (which was rather unfairly weighted 2:1 against me ;) ). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8750#post-90006 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 11:29:54 +0000 Kim 90006@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Schraedinger there was a Cycling Film Festival at the Filmhouse about 10 years or so ago, I remember seeing Hell on Wheels as part of it.

Unemployed man gets job and chance to help his family out of abject poverty. Job is putting up posters and he needs his bike for it. It is stolen. He frantically hunts for the thieves whom he hates. We root for him in the audience. There is a moving revelation at the end. It is good idea to go to an Italian restaurant for a meal afterwards and talk loudly in an idealistic manner. When I saw the film as a young man it was very emotional. </p> <p>I recommend both films if you haven't seen them </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8750#post-88949 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 19:36:20 +0000 ARobComp 88949@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is a great film about riding the continental divide called "ride the divide"</p> <p>Recommend checking that out! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8750#post-88948 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 18:40:05 +0000 twinspark 88948@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>How about "Les Bicyclettes de Belsize"?</p> <p>Have only seen it once on TV.
