Great Escape for sure. Easy Rider is a classic. And for pure laughs I gotta say Wild Hogs. Corny, but everytime I watch, I split a gut laughing.

No votes for On Any Sunday? It's my all time favorite, because it portrays riders for what we really are, average joes that just love to spend some time on 2 wheels!

You know, its really strange, I have hardly watched any bike movies. I seem to remember watching some of Easy Rider, thought it was funny watching them get stoned but don't remember anything else. Then there is Wild Hogs.

Part of it, i think, is that I just never been into older movies. The other thing being that I started riding in 06 and never had an interest in the motorcycle world before then.

Point is though, I will go through these listing and start renting some of these flicks. Which ones of these are truly "MC" movies though that feature alot of riding as opposed to just one scene, such as the matrix/ Trinity type thing?

There is alot of riding in the movies folks have listed. On any Sunday is packed full of riding/racing.

Hell Ride kicks ass

Faster, hands down. It's a documentary on the world of MotoGP. Those of you who are not into sportbikes may not get all of it, but I just haven't seen anything even come close. It's like an updated version of On Any Sunday (also awesome).

Long Way Round was great, Long Way Down wasn't bad. Easy Rider, too. Still haven't seen the Fastest Indian.

I would have to totally agree with you. Two great flicks. Part of my generation, and I loved to watch them both.
I will say that Wild Hogs, is pretty funny. Corny, but funny! And is does have a cameo performance from Peter Fonda!

You guys are going to kick my butt as much as my wife does when I mention this....I really enjoy Wild Hogs. It is of course on the comedy side and lighter side than the classic and great movies you have all mentioned.

Wild Hogs is a funny movie.

Just watched World's Fastest Indian after I was reminded about it on here. It was definitely one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

Not a movie, but it is motorcycling. Showing my age here, I used to watch this as a 10 yr old. Was my weekly motorcycle fix till I got one later that year (1969).

Whenever I see a biker with a bedroll on top of the headlight I remember the show.

There were only 26 episodes in all, but as a kid I think I watched everyone of them. Loved the bike (900 Sportster) and the freedom it portrayed. Hmmm, maybe one day I'll travel that way too.

HOLY SHIT! I hadn't seen 'The Worlds Fastest Indian' until moments ago. Absolutely hands down, the best damn pure motorcycle movie.

Watch it and learn what passion for motorcyles can truly be. Here's a link to a tribute page: http://www.indianmotorbikes.com/features/munro/munro.htm
