jazza Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I am not into motorcycle racing really, it is exciting enough and I always admired the bottle that these lads have but the whole scene has just gone way up in my estimation. I just watched TT - Closer to the edge, and it is simply the best sporting film I've ever seen! You don't have to be into the sport, in fact the less you know about it the better but you simply HAVE to watch it. Bravery or stupidity? You choose!

kent_white Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Been wanting to watch that for a while. If any sportsmen deserve ?130,000 a week it's the TT racers. There are some great interviews with the main rider in that film on You Tube. The on board camera for a lap with his commentary is insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Oh and 'When We Were Kings' is my favourite sporting film. Maybe I'll change my mind when I've watched Closer to the Edge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazza Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 I watched Senna through the week and it was great too... This film gets right inside particularly Guy Martins head He is a cock, eccentric but what a will to win And i won't spoil the end of the film but... I haven't felt emotion like that watching a film for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
