PastaPilot 17 Posted January 22, 2009 I will be holding a private screening in my newly completed home theatre. The first ever public screening in my house will be one of the most popular and legendary motorcycle films of all time. Starring the Hollywood legend Steve McQueen and featuring motorcycle racing greats Malcolm Smith and J.N Roberts. On Any Sunday is often credited as the best and/or most important motorcycle documentary ever made. Roger Ebert says it "does for motorcycle racing what The Endless Summer did for surfing". Ebert praises the film's high level of artistry in accomplishing the impressive footage of motorcycle races (which he says are difficult to film), and he also credits the film for not bothering viewers with the technical details of how the filming was done. (www.imdb.com) And to make things better it will be presented in High-Definition video with Dolby surround sound. Yes it'll truely be the cat's meow. So come on over, Wednesday night, space is limited so sign up early. I'm thinkin Pizza and beer. Admission is free, donations for pizza are greatly appreciated.

PastaPilot 17 Posted January 23, 2009 Is it 1080p? It will be in the finest upscaled 1080p the great Sony BluRay can put out. The disc itself is a remastered re-release. I bought it about a year ago with the intent of watching it in my theatre, damned roommate took almost a year to buy a TV so it's sat unwatched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 561 Posted January 23, 2009 I saw that when it was in it's first run in the theaters (in the days when a theater only had one screen, or maybe two.) and it changed me into the motorcycling nut that I am today. I still think of the theme song from that movie. I should; I must have seen it 40 or 50 times through the years and finally bought the DVD a couple of years ago as well.

I can bring the DVD along with Winners Take All, Dust to Glory and World's Fastest Indian. No riding would get done, but we could have our share of watching motorcycle movies.
