'A Sunday in Hell'. cyclingweekly.ipcshop.co.uk/.../a-sunday-in-hell-1976-paris-roubaix... The best part of forty years old but still stands up.

Graeme O'Bree's Flying Scotsman.
Belleville Rendezvous is a brilliant film
Beryl Burton's Racing is Life.. some wonderful footage shot by enthusiasts of the Morley CC who pooled resources to buy a cine camera and captured not just Beryl but those halcyon days of post war cycling.

Hell on Wheels. 2003 Tour de France following Telekom. Eric Zabel showing what being hard really means. In German with English subtitles.
Extract here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly5IkBxvYL0 I consider this much better than Chasing Legends.

Thanks all, having fun looking through youtube didn't realise so much cycling footage on there, repairs too !!
Hell on wheels looks just what i'm looking for,
La course en tete !! those were the days, glass bottles of beer stuffed into jerseys, pillaging a womans picnic, and being hosed down, brilliant.
Thanks all , seasons greetings
