Has anyone watched this movie? Starring Anthony Hopkins (2005). Based on a true life story of Burt Munro who set a world record speed for motorcycles in 1967 in Bonneville, Utah contest driving a 1920, 1000cc motorcycle (Indian). At 8 miles, 201mph. No one has matched or surpassed his record since. Below are 2 clips; 1st one is of his motorcycle on display in a department store in New Zealand & 2nd one of last scene from the movie when he set the record.

I'm not really into motorcycles, but this movie has impressed me because of what he achieved & how he did so.

I Ride & Have Never Posted A Thing! So Bear With Me. Lazy Weekend Rainy day, Nothing On TV, So I Rented It. WOW, Really Liked It!!! Kinda Mad At Myself, For Not watching It Earlier! I Was So Surprised,Just A Super Feel Good Flick!!!

Thanks for replying to my post. Do you mean you watched it today? Glad that you did. It's rare to find a movie that has such deep meaning in it & is inspiring & thought-provoking & leaves a lasting impression like this one does.

i love that movie. made me laugh and cry.

Yes there were some sad moments in the movie, but overridden with positive outcomes. This is the most impressive movie I've watched probably ever.

A speed trail is being held at the Salt flats right now. My Employer is there trying to get his record back.

If he watched this movie before he left he'll definitely have lots of inspiration to get his record back.
