I think it was called Superspeedway ,and it was shown in Imax theaters. I thought it was great, I was also an Indy car fan at the time and seeing it in Imax was pretty nice. Mario Andretti was cool, and there were some good Honda racing shots as they dominated the series at the time. It was a short flic but very cool

Well, not sure what you’ll find on Netflix (and I stored away all those VHS tapes somewhere) but some of the racing movies I’ve seen are old. Really old, in some cases:

The Racers: Good cast with Kirk Douglas, Lee J. Cobb and Cesar Romero. Believable plot and the racing scenes are good for the era (remember, we’re talking 1950’s here). The “Burano” wrecked at the beginning of the film is actually an HWM and currently owned by one of the editors of Classic and Sports Car magazine and who still competes in it in hillclimbs and such.

To Please a Lady: Everything in the film is secondary to the interaction between Clark Gable and Barbara Stanwyck. Gable’s gritty character is true-to-life for a driver, and the darker moods of the film are well suited to black and white. Racing scenes OK, don’t get too excited.

Johnny Dark: So Piper Laurie wasn’t always a frumpy older woman – who knew? The dubbed-in tire squeals on sequences of cornering on dirt roads will make you laugh. Some odd, early sports cars from the dawn of Fiberglass abound. The plotline of an engineer stealing an independent car manufacturer’s prototype to race it deserves a modern re-make… except here are no independent car makers anymore. Trivia: the “Fielding” cars in the movie are Willys Aeros with a grill change.

The Big Wheel: OK, any attempt to make Mickey Rooney look like a tough guy is going to come off a bit corny. Watch this one only if bored.

The Fast and the Furious: This is the 1950’s one with Dorothy Malone and John Ireland. No fancy modern cinematography. Gee, they actually raced Nash-Healeys back then, and they feature an Allard J2X a bit, and lotsa Jaguars.

Grand Prix: The three Academy Awards for filming and sound were well-earned. My wife’s favorite, it actually has a plot and real acting. Hard to take Yves Montand seriously now that we know he was so scared of the cars he had to be towed around the track to get the in-car footage of him.

LeMans: You’ve seen this, I’m sure. This movie has everything – except a plot. Look (during the scene where McQueen goes to get some dinner) for the only shot I’ve ever seen of a Matra M530, maybe with good reason because they are so ugly.

Aside from F&F movie, I watched Initial D. I think it's one of the best racing movie. Do you guys know it?
