First, it's 2 1/2 hours long. Go to a theater with the reclining seats.

It's not all flag-waving Americana I thought it was going to be. They can be tough on Ford.

The acting is great.

The car stuff is great.

The first race really gives the sound and feel we get when we drive our old cars hard.
 
Thanks Steve. My local theatre has Draft Beer. I’ll get through it.
 
Saw it at the Riverside Casino in Laughlin Nv. The theater has a full bar !
Anyway I enjoyed it. The only fault I saw was when they were standing over the car talking about a Holley carb and the car's engine shows 8 sub stacks. Had to laugh about that one.
 
Thanks Steve for the "heads up". I've seen a preview of this movie, but yet have to go watch it at the theater. When I go see it, I'll wear a Mopar shirt to piss off everybody, lol.
 
I thoroughly enjoyed that movie. I had no idea Lee Iacocca was involved in the GT40 program. the acting was top notch even though I may not agree with the actors political perspective. I particularly enjoyed the scenes filmed at Willow Springs having driven many laps on that track I was THERE in the in car shots!
 
Netflix has a few shows about this running concurrently with the movie release. So, if you are like me and will not go see the movie in theaters, you can get your fill on Netflix.

Wow, thanks! Found them.
 
RIP Ken Miles. Who knew? Watched both. What a way to spend a Sunday.

American Horsepower beats Italian sophistication.

I saw the movie yesterday, and I thought the racing footage was very realistic, it made you feel like you were in the car.
