We watched The World's fastest Indian last night...

What an awesome movie.. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Bascially it is set around the time of the Vietnam war, and a bike enthusiast from New Zealand (played by Anthony Hopkins) travels to the Bonniville salt flats to try and set / break the land World speed record for (I think) his kind of bike.. It is set during 'Speed Week' there.

Apparently the record stands today, and (as the movie's blurb says) is based on 'One hell of a true story'.

Great movie as although it is a 'racing' movie, it is one that both petrol heads, and the familly in general, can draw great pleasure from..

Right now it's my favorite movie of 2007!
