Thanks for the tip! I dont have cable anymore, but the Netflix is on the way!

 

Nice OAR presentation. I would like to see this one in HiDef.

 

Grand Prix (my favorite racing movie of all time) is not on DVD yet. I'm on my 2nd copy of the VHS version (first one wore out from my watching it so much).

I am thinking of doing a video transfer to DVD just so I don't have to keep buying new sets when the old one wears out.

NOT AVAILABLE on DVD!

 

I would think this movie would be almost unwatchable on VHS.

 

*slaps forehead*

dagnabbit. I wish I saw this earlier. Would have set the VCR.
Frankenheimer rocks.

 

Luckily I stumbled across it via TV Guide Channel about 2/3 through the movie last night. Hadn't seen it in years... still as amazing as ever, especially the in-car stuff from the banking at Monza (the suspension movements alone are frightening...)

Might have to go rent it this weekend to see the first 2/3rds again...
