<p>Breaking Away (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1jzs6dk4bs" rel="noopener" target="_blank">trailer</a>) has to be #1. Cutters vs. Team Cinzano! I've always wanted a "CUTTERS" bike jersey or even a t-shirt.</p>

<p>I would highly, highly recommend any movie about Race Across America (RAAM). "Bicycle Dreams" is available in full on YouTube (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwLzdgSPNwc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">link</a>) and is an amazing documentary about the men and women who put themselves through this non-stage endurance race, crossing the US from Riverside CA to Atlantic City NJ in ~10 days, covering 350+ miles per day and averaging <2 hours of sleep per night.</p>

<p>RAAM, Bam, Thank You Ma'am is a more lighthearted, but still serious, film of the New Zealand women's team ("Veloroos") relay RAAM team.

<p>Definitely "the flying scotsman" and if you can, check out "mamil" it's surprisingly good.</p>

<p>I'm going to have to pitch in here since I'm such a fan of watching this kind of stuff. This one is an oldie but probably one of the few cinematic masterpieces of the genre (available on itunes!): </p>
