I liked Electraglide In Blue. An interesting story, and the closing scene was stunning as the camera pulled back forever.

Easy Rider and On Any Sunday are pretty much mandatory. Cycles South is incredibly campy but really fun to watch, maybe the first dualsporting movie. Faster, Fastest, World's Fastest Indian, and Dust to Glory are/were on Netflix instant watch and well worth watching. Place Beyond the Pines was an interesting if too long movie, it's got some motorcycles in it but don't go into it expecting a motorcycle movie or you'll be disappointed.

You forgot Little Hoss and big Falsey....I mean Little Fausse and Big Halsy. It's the movie that Robert Reford wished he had never been in.

My personal collection includes Dust To Glory and On Any Sunday. I have probable seen On Any Sunday over a hundred times. I saw it in the theater when it first came out, double billed with Endless Summer. The surfing movie was okay, but On Any Sunday shaped who I was going to be, and what would be an integral part of my life from there on out.

I also really enjoyed Time Rider. Saw that a few times. Cool sci-fi.-dirt bike-wild west genre....I guess it was in a genre of its own. :coolio:

Easy Rider is one boring movie - too old school for me

On Any Sunday will live on forever as one of the best!

love em, and have seen many of those listed. On Any Sunday is the iconic faster and fastest came out well, but really one of my all time faves is Worlds Fastest Indian, if you seen Burts Indian in real pictures that bike in the film is very accurate.

Also a fun watch was Motocrossed. Mild comedy, family flick about a girl who races the championship in place of her injured brother Cute story, and filmed at Barona Oaks...I think.
