How about the TV series from the late 60's. 'Then Came Bronson". Michael Parks cruisin' across America in search of himself on a sportster. It got me interested in motorcycles and the "independence/free spirit" mantra.

I agree, On any Sunday is a classic, along with EasyRider. They had easyrider on one of those movie stands at foodlion (grocery store) for 9.99. I didn't pick it up though, was in a hurry, no its gone..boohoo. I'll find it somewhere.

Easy Rider
Worlds Fastest Indian
I heard that they were filming Ghost Rider, staring Nicolas cage. They might be pretty cool. He is an avid motorcyclist.

"On Any Sunday" is purported to have caused a large amount of bike sales in the US upon it's first release. And it possibly helped cause mainstream America to start taking motorcycles of all types and uses more seriously, a trend that continues today. The Honda cutesy-pie ads of that time also dove-tailed in the market appeal that resulted. A very good one to rent for small kids too. Smith and McQueen are fun to watch.

ON ANY SUNDAY
Academy Award Nominated
Stars: Steve McQueen, Malcolm Smith , Mert Lawwill
From Steve McQueen, “I think Bruce Brown's motorcycle film “On Any Sunday” is the best thing that has ever happened to motorcycling. The audience is taken on a visual ride in what I believe is finally the definitive film on motorcycling. To me it is an unforgettable film, and I was very happy to be a part of it in some small way.”
Writer, producer and director Bruce Brown, explores this dizzying and intoxicating world of rugged road riders where cycles hit incredible speeds. Segueing into the grueling excitement of a muddy and murderous motocross race, we then move on to the tortuous mayhem of the Mexican 1000 off-track trial race down the Baja Peninsula. An exhilarating experience that puts you in the drivers seat.

THE WORLDS FASTEST INDIAN
THE WILD ONE
BTW. For any of you who have seen "The Wild One" or are familiar with the Hollister Riots, I reccomend a great book I have just read called, "The Original Wild Ones. Tales of the Boozefighters Motorcycle Club" by author Bill Hayes. Great read! It will make you go out and rent The Wild One. In my case I bought it.

Sounds like it might be a good one to see. The first one that comes to mind is Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. I also like many of the others that have been named.

RE: favorite motorcycle movie....
Ok.. just watched the Ghost Rider trailer. Seems interesting to say the least. Looks like an Escape from LA, meets Blade, meets Easyrider. I don't know. You would think that Nicolas Cage, Sam Elliott, and Peter Fonda in the same movie would be a good combination.
I posted this earlier, but if anyone has not seen Long Way Round, you are really missing out.
