Breaking Away (DVD)

One of the best-loved baby boomer films ever, this 1979 Peter Yates (Bullitt, The Deep) film is not only tons of fun, but centres around cycling. A small town teenaged boy obsesses about the Italian cycling team. He and his friends are desperate to ride away from their retsrictive town, and to avoid the college snobs. It's a passionate cry for freedom that all teens feel, and resonates today more than ever - and features great cycling footage to boot!
