Summary: Just an all out good movie.
Review: I cant count the times I have seen this movie and enjoyed just as much everytime. I think Kevin Costner did some outstanding actting. I think Ray Don Chong(hope I spelled it right!)is so sexy in this movie! A all out good movie about a family trying to forgive each other and forget the past,with a sudden twist when Costner is found to have the same illness his dad had, tearful movie at the end. 5 stars from me.

Summary: Great race scenes and music.
Review: I first viewed American Flyers by accident when I was preparing for a long-distance bike tour. The plot was thin but the race scenes and the music made the movie. I remember holding my tape recorder to the TV set and then playing it while I rode my bike. It helped me to survive a 100 mile tour.

Summary: Inspirational (if a bit cheesy)
Review: I first watched this movie 15-years-ago at a sports training camp. It was used as a tool to get us pumped and worked extraordinarily well. It still serves as an inspiration to this day and regardless of the number of times I've seen it, I always feel rejuvinated by the end.

Summary: What a Rush!
Review: I love this movie! The 80's music is great and pumps you up. I think this movie is great for laughs (especially all of the sexual comments!) and excitement for the family and friends. No matter what sport you play, it suits it all.

Summary: Predictable and cliched but real enjoyable to watch
Review: I really wish that I could give this film 3 and 1/2 stars because it is so predictable that it's hard to rate is as truly a 4 star film. However the story just manages to grab you and hold you somehow. There's some great one liners in the film. Like my personal favorite 'Enough with this sunday stroll... let's hurt a little bit' Cheesy? Yes but classic nonetheless. Despite the simplicity of the story it is very well acted both by Costner and Grant (I believe) as his brother. There's a little romance, some comedy, plenty of adrenaline, and some heartfelt drama. And most importantly I come back to watch this film over and over again. So I can't really rate it as a purchase but it's just a notch below.

Summary: An all round excellent movie!
Review: I remember watching this movie when I was just a little boy and I must admit it still has the same effect on my now as it did then. This is a great movie for not only sports enthusits but anyone who just wants to see an excellent flick. It's one of those movies that really pumps you up and touches your sensitive side as well. An unknown at the time, Costner delivers an amazing performance. Great music as well!

Summary: Motivation in a Movie
Review: I saw this movie by accident on television one day and after five years of casually looking I found by accident again. This is movie about competitive cycling. It is a little more updated than Breaking Away and is thus more appealing to many cyclists. The plot is fairly engaging but is not why people should buy the movie. I recommend this movie for cyclists who lately have lost motivation to ride and race. Whenever I need a morale booster I watch this movie and the very next day I am pumped to train. The only thing that makes this movie a little hokey is the datedness. It was made in 1979 so the bicycles and clothing are not all that spectacular.

Summary: A great bicycle movie. Too bad the music CD isn't available
Review: I've seen this movie so many times, I know this film word for word. As a movie, I would rate this film as average, or 3 stars. As a bicycle movie, I rate this film at 4 stars. The story and the acting are not so great. It appears that in a lot of scenes that the actors were doing a screen test instead of making a movie. The typical screenwriting cliches are all there, and are what holds the movie together. A lot of the movie's logic doesn't hold up either. Why would Marcus, the doctor in the family test his younger brother David on an extremely strenuous treadmill marathon, knowing full well that he might die, and THEN run a CAT scan on him? What is best about this movie is the music, and the beautiful Colorado scenery, before Colorado became one giant sprawl of a suburb. If you can enjoy this, then you can enjoy this movie.
