Motorcycle flicks

I thought I'd lighten things up by asking for opinions on motorcycle movies. I'll get the ball rolling with a couple of titles:

Easy Rider
The Wild One

By far one of the funniest...

Wild Hogs

yummy Jack Nicholson...young...like him older too!
Easy Rider was also a very good movie, to get back on subject!

We want to be free! We want to be free to do what we want to do! We want to be free to ride. And we want to be free to ride our machines without being hassled by The Man. And we want to get loaded. And we want to have a good time! And that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna have a good time. We're gonna have a party!

Quote from Peter Fonda - "Wild Angels"

I liked Wild Hogs, good light entertainment.

I liked it, but it was too formulaic, too predictable. I think they should have let martin lawrence loose more. May be it was the PG rating. They'll probably have WH II, and I hope they do a better job.

Easy Rider
Electriglide in Blue, although not a pure biker movie, a good one.
The World's Fastest Indian

Does the moped in "Dumb & Dumber" count?

"Just when I think you couldn't do anything more stupid, you pull a stunt like this...and TOTALLY redeem yourself!"

I love it...

...that was one of the funniest scenes in D&D! Here's a couple more I thought of:

The Born Losers (the 1st Billy Jack movie)
The Hard Ride
Evel Knievel

I always got a real kick out of that "Outlaw" biker gang in "Every Which Way But Loose" with Clint Eastwood. The gang was called the "Black Widows" and they were really goofy.

Never saw it...but it is a biker movie!

racinchef · 07-08-2008, 05:10 PM

Do these count? The pilot for the TV series "Then Came Bronson" and the 70's motorcycle racing documentary, "On Any Sunday".

Racinchef...I didn't remember Then Came Bronson...So I found it on Youtube (Surprise surprise!!)

I remember most of those. I saw Easy Rider again about a year ago. It was not nearly as good as it was almost 40 years ago.
