    I don't know if this belongs in this catagory, but where else to put it?

    This one was just released to DVD.
    It's a true story about an old coot from New Zealand trying to break a land speed record at The Bonneville Salt Flats in the early 1960's with his cobbled together 1920 Indian motorcycle.
    Anthony Hopkins of Silence of the Lambs plays Burt Monro, and he gives an outstanding performance. When Burt's children saw the movie they claimed Hopkins did so well it made them cry.

    Excellent tale of a solitary man with little money and lots of grit following a dream that begain before 1920 and lasted in to the 70's.


    Even my wife loved it!!!
