How about a thread for films to watch whilst this nonsense is going on?



Not bike related but plenty of bothy action, one of my favourite YT discoveries ...

Hooks - Stephen Pern - 1hr 49min

A Thin White Line - the tale of the 2001 Iditasport Trail Race

https://vimeo.com/84178875

If you like winter stuff, so following on from Bob
Yukon Quest - Spirit of the North
The Great Alone

Both on prime, if you have to pick one, then perhaps the second one


Another good one if you like animation is A cat in Paris, brilliant film, watched it several times with my 5 year old

Dirt bag - legend of Fred Beckey

Wide Boyz

Klunkerz (warning - this will make you miss riding!)

Tough Rides (China or India) are worth watching, think of two wet brothers heading out in their bikes to see either country. They’re a bit wet, they’re a bit annoying but they’re out there doing it. Will pass several nights

Dog Soldiers - so you remember what you're missing

Explorers web has a list of free Banff Mtn Film Festival films that can be viewed for free

Thanks for that. Seen some really good films at Banff over the years on some surprising outdoor themes. Will hunt through. Ta.

"The World's Fastest Indian", nice film with an against the odds feelgood factor, just what you need to cheer yourself up in these dark times (and it has motorbikes in it which has to be a good thing, right?)

In my last job (digital STBs) we had a contract with a company in the same field. I'd a task to test their YouTube implementation. One of the tests was duration, the app had to be stable for a minimum of 12hrs. So at the end of each day I'd find a suitable video, usually climbing or cycling, start that going then click the autoplay button and turn off the TV so I didn't get distracted. I'd come back every morning to find it play a BarbieWorld video Not kittens, not porn but bloody BarbieWorld!

Now I've got the song running through my head on repeat. Thanks.

Das Boot - the full 4+ hours of it. Brilliant stuff!

The TV remake of Das Boot was also excellent.

Misery

was the film my other half bought me to watch after I broke my leg.....

Similar scenario to this lockdown, just with extra mad person added

The Guard - An Irish police sergeant in a sleepy seaside town gets caught up in international drug smuggling. Excellent story and cast.

The Way - A father walks the Camino de Santiago after his son dies.

Black 47 - A former soldier wreaks revenge for his family in famine-era Ireland. Imagine Rambo with actual dialogue in the 1840s and you won't be far wrong.

Thursday - A successful architect turns out to have a criminal past, which returns to haunt him at an inopportune moment.
