Racing movies are hard to get right. Most of them fail.
Rush is the best. Ron Howard captured the rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda in 1976. The racing is real. The drama is real. Lauda crash and comeback is one of the most gripping sequences in any sports movie.
Senna is a documentary but it plays like a tragedy. You know how it ends. You still hope it does not. The archival footage is incredible. The storytelling is flawless.
Le Mans with Steve McQueen is pure racing. Almost no dialogue. Just the sound of engines for two hours. It is not for everybody. For racing fans, it is essential.
Days of Thunder is not a good movie. But it is fun. Tom Cruise says racing lines like they are poetry. The crashes are spectacular. Do not watch it for accuracy. Watch it for entertainment.
Ford v Ferrari is about the people, not just the cars. Shelby and Miles are fascinating characters. The racing scenes are some of the best ever filmed.
