Lemans the movie
At my request the wife got me the DVD for Christmas to replace my old VHS copy. I love this film but more as a documentary of the period (late 60's, early 70's) and old school sports car racing. In fact we watched it last night and Elga is still smokin hot in my book. The improved sound and picture quality of the DVD is a nice bonus. Too bad it was such a box office failure but as she correctly pointed out there were / are so few people in the States that dig road racing and sports cars, etc.
Its great to see all the small bore Porsche's in the film but the Ford Gt's that continued to dominate through 1970 are noticeably absent. Some people like 'Its a Wonderful Life" for the holidays. I prefer to watch "LeMans" at least once per year usually during our weather mandated hibernation in the North Star State.
