I'll definitely check this one out. The Fast-N-Furious series are always a blockbuster (not a fan) , but for reasons unknown to me... most Hollywood car movies do not make Bank (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Looks much better than the dog racer movie...


I read 2-3 books a week, and I’ve got to sat, I loved the dog movie!

Want to see the real Ford GT40 Mark II from ‘Ford v. Ferrari’? It’s in a Utah movie theater lobby.

I saw the movie tonight. I loved the movie. Best car movie I have seen so far. Rush was also good, but I love Lemans.

Saw it late last night. I liked Rush but this was way better. No complaints other than it ended. Will probably see it again.

I think I'm going to see it again, but find an IMAX theater next time.

This is such an inspirational story, finally a Goliath beats David movie!

It is exciting to watch Ford spend millions of dollars to show il Commendatore of Maranello who is boss.

When you see the Ford executives at the 1966 running of Le Mans you can’t help but cheer as the 7 liter GT40 outlasts the ugly Ferrari 330P3 with a peashooter 4 liter V12.

Year's ago I interviewed Dr. David Helmick for a story and as an aside he told me he was the team Dr for the GT40 team. Ford was spending sooooo much money that he convinced them to rent a copter to have him in the air and shadowing the cars as they raced, that way if they wrecked he could land and be on site in seconds. Never landed but he said he had the best seat in the house!

Great movie. Saw it last Thursday night. Poor Ken Miles got screwed by Ford, Shelby, and the LeMans organizers.

I saw it last Thursday with some friends and we really enjoyed it! We are taking our wives to see it again this week! Great story.

Saw this today with the Wife.
We both loved it. There were a couple funny Faux pas that made me go, "how did they miss that..." Most of the people there wouldn't have caught them, but it didn't hurt the movie.

There was one thing that they did that wasn't accurate. From my reading the word was that Enzo never went to the track but listened by radio from the Factory in Modena. It made for better movie magic to have him watching at Le Mans but I don't think it happened that way.

Saw yesterday on IMAX. The 3 of us probably comprised a third of the total viewing audience in the theater for a midweek, midday showing. Almost like a private viewing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

As mentioned, a couple of minor inaccuracies and it got slow in a couple of the human interest scenes, but didn't detract from the overall great story and really well executed movie. Lot's of shots included Porsches.

Only true petrol heads or those who boned up on their history in advance will anticipate the ending. On par with "Rush" and "Senna". "Le Mans" is still the gold standard, IMO. Two thumbs up and would definitely see again.

I cringed at the outside pass at Willow turn 9.. I was waiting on the grid when this happened:

Then a crewman grabbed a wheel knockoff bare-handed on a pitstop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pinch.gif)

Given the tire marks I would venture the Audi mishap is not uncommon.
