DVD Reviews of Le Mans

DVD Review: Racing Aficionado's Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Who doesn't like Steve McQueen, right? Even if you don't like Steve McQueen and love endurance racing you'll find something to love in this movie. I ran across a reference to this movie by accident and took a chance buying it unseen. I was very pleased. The movie is more like a documentary of endurance racing at LeMans than a movie. Natural action! If you love endurance racing I think you'll love this movie.

DVD Review: LeMans - Well worth a return visit
Summary: 4 Stars

My parents took my sisters & me to watch it at the Euclid Avenue Drive-In in Wickliffe, Ohio, ca. 1971. In those days, they had swing sets & monkey bars beneath its huge screen. Unfortunately, I tried to follow Rachel ONE too many times across the monkey bars. That is, I slipped, fell off, and ended up with two broken bones in my right arm. My Mom stayed up with me all night on our hide-a-bed couch in our living room. No surgery was required and Dr. Mast set it the next morning.

I don't remember when we actually watched it, but I think I still have the "FREE" poster from that memorable evening.

In any event, if you like racing and/or Steve McQueen, then this movie is a MUST.

DVD Review: Great Racing Flick.
Summary: 5 Stars

I wish it would have been Corvette instead of Porsche but oh well. Not much acting from Mcqueen. a Little Long, But Great Le Mans Action. And a Great Cinematic Racing Masterpiece. Porsche Vs. Ferrari.(dont care for neither) but still good movie.

DVD 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!

DVD Review: Le Mans
Summary: 4 Stars

Le Mans was made when there was no such thing as Computer animation or CGI. Real Racing, Real Stunts, Real Speed. See it for some of the best racing footage ever filmed for a movie. -California Kid

Description of Le Mans

Almost in breadth and depth of a documentary, this movie depicts an auto race during the 70s on the world's hardest endurance course: Le Mans in France. The race goes over 24 hours on 14.5 kilometers of cordoned country road. Every few hours the two drivers per car alternate - but it's still a challenge for concentration and material. In the focus is the duel between the German Stahler in Ferrari 512LM and the American Delaney in Gulf Team Porsche 917. Delaney is under extraordinary pressure, because the year before he caused a severe accident, in which his friend Lisa's husband was killed.
A classic auto-racing movie starring Steve McQueen, Le Mans puts the audience in the driver's seat for what is often called the most grueling race in the world. The French auto race Le Mans is a 24-hour affair through the French countryside, a demanding ordeal for any driver. McQueen (Bullitt, The Great Escape) plays the American driver, locked in an intense grudge match with his German counterpart even as he wrestles with the guilt over causing an accident that cost the life of a close friend. McQueen is his usual stoic magnetic self, and the racing sequences are among the best ever committed to film. A solid character-driven story combines with raw visceral power to make Le Mans a rich tapestry of action and thrills. --Robert Lane
