I was surfing around on "NetFlix" earlier today.
Came across "World's Fastest Indian" with Anthony Hopkins.
Anyone else seen it?
I consider it a enjoyable movie and well worth your time.

We talked about that movie way back when it was still new,great flick. Real guy is very interesting too.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

The fact that it's non-fiction makes it very cool. And of course Anthony Hopkins did a bang up job as usual.

Great movie I've seen it several times. Maybe time to see it again.

Great movie. FYI, If Sir Anthony Hopkins is in a flick it would be worth watching.

we have been watching the "World's Fastest Indian" one night (drinking night) of the great river rally for the last 3 years. Its one of those movies you can watch many times without it getting stale.

What about Sleazy rider, I mean Easy rider? I thought it was pretty decent biker flick. If you looked passed the 60's Hippy crap.

Easy Rider, Then Came Bronson and Evel Knievel encouraged many a young man to climb onto the saddle of two wheelers and jump started the modern day motorcycle industry. IMO

Not to forget the classic 'on any Sunday'
Or the newer 'why we ride'.
Both are great to watch while trapped indoors the the winter months

I like Stone Cold too, Brian Bosworth plays an under cover cop that infiltrates a biker gang.

Good one. But for some reason I still like easy rider.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

Edit out the 60's hippy crap and you don't have much of a movie left.

It does cut it down considerably, but that's not the parts I like anyway. It's the bikes and the riding.

Stone cold was ok.Fixing the Shadow with Charlie Sheen too. There's an Aussie movie called STONE.Captures the 1970s Australian bike scene well.The acting's a bit over the top but very good riding scenes.

In the same vein as "Fastest Indian", this little short film speaks volumes in terms of passion for motorcycles http://vimeo.com/13159991

I agree. I like most of those old Corman/B Grade biker movies. Anyone for Psychomania or Werewolves on Wheels. Of course for some sweet old Bonnies, watch The Undertaker and his Pals.
Then of course...
Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town
Zombie Bikers from Detroit
The Violent Kind
 I think my love of bad movies is showing...

Brent, how you find or even know about some of these movies I'll never know, but it's pretty cool nevertheless!
