Well I signed up for Netflix and have added most of these movies to my list. I still can't find The Doctor, the Tornado, and the Kentucky Kid.

darsek...How long does it take Netflix to send you your new movies after mailing your current ones back?

according to IMDB the doctor movie is available on DVD. netflix has a request form (or at least they used to) to suggest movies that should be added to their lineup. fill it out and i will do the same.

Me and you both.

I want to buy one movie, which one should I get?

On Any Sunday
On Any Sunday 2
On Any Sunday Revisited
Faster
The Doctor, the Torndado, and the Kentucky Kid
Long Way Round

At the moment, I'm leaning towards Faster.

I liked Faster too. One of the best biksport films I have seen. But my first choice would be On any Sunday. It's a great film, better than any of the sequels. Long Way Round left me cold. Utterly boring rubbish, unless you are into the celeb thing (IMHO)

At least McQueen was a serious rider. He might not be the one jumping barb wire on film in The Great Escape, but he did wreck trying it

I just watched Faster last night and really enjoyed it. Makes me wish I had started watching MotoGP when I was eight years old. Or even when I was 18.

I started watching On Any Sunday, but stopped after seeing the introduction.

Old 70s movies really make me cringe. They give me flashbacks of being forced to watch old educational movies when I was in grade school. But since so many people here say it's a good film, I'll give it another try.

Stick with it. I found the first twenty minutes a bit hit and miss, but it just goes on getting better and better after that.

I haven't seen that for years. I've got a copy on VHS somewhere. I'll have to dig it out and play it sometimes.

A real Classic that Movie!

On any Sunday had a HUGE influence on me & is one of the reasons I have owned lot's of different brands & styles of M/C.

I also LOVE Flat Track racing....& the venerable XR-750.
