Summary: LeMans
Review: In a few words...A truly excellent auto-racing movie. Steve McQueen is very good in his role as the quiet racing warrior who is first and foremost about winning. "Racing is important to me and I do it well ... Anything that happens before or after, is just waiting!" he states. He also shows his restrained tender side when he interacts on a couple of occasions with the widow of a fellow driver killed in an accident involving him the year before at LeMans. But it is his racing and the racing scenes that make this movie a treat, along with the "other" star. That of course is the Porsche 917K racing car, acclaimed as the greatest racing car of all time in an expert poll conducted by Motor Sport Magazine in 1997. If you saw the F14 Tomcat Fighter in the movie "Top Gun", then you understand what I am talking about here with the 917. This movie is about racing at LeMans in the early 1970s. The "battle" scenes between the Porsche 917s and the Ferrari 512s are classic and really draw you into the movie. If you enjoy tough, aggressive, exciting racing action without all of the other side distractions and fluff, you will like/love this movie.

Summary: A Classic
Review: If you like car racing this is the first film you should have on you bookshelf. The cars look like reals cars, the actors look like reals peoples and there is no happy ending. Hollywood doesn t make movies like that anymore.

Summary: Simple
Review: Steve McQueen drives a Porsche 917 very quickly for 24 hours. That is 'Le Mans', and no more needs to be said.

Summary: Wow! What a racing film!
Review: Steve McQueen, being his natural stoic self, does nothing to dampen the racing car enthusiast's enjoyment of this glorious film! The Le Mans is a grueling ordeal and practically every nuance of this race is captured in Lee Katzin's film. Very little dialogue from McQueen and the slight subplot regarding the widow of a driving friend, does nothing to cool down the thrills of this race. The wonderful and offbeat camera angles are spectacular. I would recommend it to car aficionados (especially seeing those classic Porsches) and thrillseekers alike! Unbelievable!

Summary: Improving your zen capabilities
Review: perhaps the most beautiful film ever made about this famous French race. We can almost feel the driver's sensation and all the tension of the race, trying to keep zen in front of this film even for the Dalai Lama is a challenge...

Summary: A pure film for purists
Review: The Le Mans 24 Hour Race is one of the most insane sporting events ever. "Le Mans" attempts to portray the excitement, the speed, the sound, and the surreal quality of the race, and yes, some of the boredom and stupidity as well.Steve McQueen is at his most restrained playing Michael Dalaney. Seldom has the professional racing drivers' mentality and single mindedness been shown with such clarity. Dalaney has respect for his colleagues, but no warmth towards them. Nothing is allowed to get in the way of the race itself, and importance of winning the race. There's a tiny, fragmented, rather strange sub-plot which features a beautiful widow from the previous year's race, if you are a generous viewer then this story seems to only enhance the single mindedness of the drivers. There's also a rivalry between Delaney and another driver. But again, the rivalry seems manufacturered as much by the media (shown at their most despicable) rather than any true emotion between the men concerned. The real stars of Le Mans are the brutal, beautiful sports racing cars of the early 1970s. several meet horrific ends in slow motion crashes that are simultanously beautiful and horrific to watch. Above all else, from the beginning to the end Le Mans has a surreal quality where speed and concentration result in all other aspects of 'real life' being forgotten. We're unlikely to get as honest a portrayal of professional motor racing ever again, and certainly not from Hollywood...
