Rush

Looking forward to seeing this movie this weekend. Probably the best racing movie since "Grand Prix" with James Garner.

Yes, well, I am sure it is no Cannonball Run or Herbie Goes Bananas.

Just doesn't interest me at all. Usually I like all sports, but a movie about F1? meh.

The reviews I read said that Ron Howard did a superb job of making the story identifiable even to people who had no knowledge of F1. Sort of like how you didn't need to know much about firefighting to enjoy Backdraft or space travel to enjoy Apollo 13.

I imagine it will be very good. I just have no interest???? Even to the point where when the commercials for it come on TV, I'll change the channel.

I do that whenever ESPN starts talking about baseball.

Gran Prix is a great film, the scenes of the racing on the full Monza course are epic.

This, I will see it but I am not expecting the visual brilliance.

Oh, and I am a F1 fan and even went this past weekend to Singapore to watch the race.

Understandable.

Very good movie. I am partial being an F1 fan, but in this era of remakes and reboots, it's cool to see Hollywood make a movie about one of the greatest seasons in any sport that really isn't well known to even fans of the sport. I also feel a bit guilty about being happy when it rains on race day, and back then it must have been terrifying for those guys.
