Movie Reviews of Le Mans
Movie Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must have for anyone who loves or remembers the glory days of the Porsche and Ferrari rivalry at Le Mans OR just loves great racing movies OR loves Steve McQueen. If two or more of the two above apply, well, you probably already have this flick! I still remember the TV ads for this movie: "Let Steve McQueen take you for a drive in the country. The country is France. And the drive (pause)is at 200 miles per hour!"
The opening lap of the 917s and 512s Mulsanne straight is worth the price alone! Just don't expect much of a plot -- with these cars, we don't need no stinkin' plot!
Movie Review: True to the event
Summary: 5 Stars
There's no cutthroat, classless "win at all costs" attitude evoked by the participants in the race here. Those who walk away (and those injured) carry a sense of honor knowing they've done the best they could. Anything less just isn't good enough in this honorable cast. It's all in this movie, with a sense of realism not seen in this genre. Beautiful, simple images of the French countryside and culture merge in the setting and people surrounding the race. To so convincingly squeeze 24 hours (including tedium) as a statement of this unique event is a thrilling experience.Movie Review: Simply the essence of the 24 hours of Le Mans
Summary: 5 Stars
Loaded with authentic racing action, every camera angle, with only a few concessions to the mass market. Minimal plot - Mcqueen plays a race driver. McQueen was a race driver, he probably could have gone professional if he had devoted himself to it. He did some of the driving in this movie, 220 mph in the incredible Porsche 917.If you want a storyline, you'll have to look somewhere else. But, if you want to be there, to feel, to live the 24 hours of Le Mans, circa 1970, this is your movie.
The best racing movie ever made.
Movie Review: The best film for the sophisticated auto enthusiast.
Summary: 5 Stars
The ultimate race of the ultimate cars. Porsche vs. Ferrari at the most prestigious racing event; Le Mans. Real race footage combined with classic 70's style film making. If they tried to make this film today it wouldn't be as good with phony computer graphics. What you get here is real crashes and true racing, no cheesed out special effects. Mcqueen captures the essence of the International Auto Racer. Mcqueen was an excellent racer in real life who fancied Porshes. -Eduard Scott Bales
Movie Review: Plot Plot, so who needs a plot?
Summary: 5 Stars
If anyone ever needed a reason to purchase a LARGE screen TV, this movie is it. There are lots of movies that I would like to see on DVD and then there are the few that really should be on DVD, and this is one of them. Don't sweat the minor critiques, just do yourself a favor and get it! Two other movies that have great auto scenes are "The Italian Job" and "Ronin." Add 'em to your collection. You won't regret it.
