General Discussion / Re:Steve McQueen's 'Le Mans' movie

Just got the dvd from deepdiscountdvd.com in the states for $13.56 including shipping. Yes, it is a great movie. Always brings back fond memories. Reminds one of how much things have changed at the circuit over the years, especially from the spectator's viewpoint. I have two favorite racing flics, Le Mans and Grand Prix. I am old enough to remember seeing Grand Prix in its original release in Cinerama. (Remember the very wide screen Cinerama, 3 cameras & 3 projectors, great sound system.) The opening scenes were breathtaking. Likewise the driving scenes with the driver's view of the track ahead in the center section, gear shifting in the right section, and footwork in the right section. I don't believe that it is available in DVD. Don't make'em like that anymore. Computer graphics is great, but.
