I've seen this touted as a really good service. Lots of great quality films, subscription or rental, and loads of brilliant archive films and newsreel (including esoteric stuff for those that part own locomotives @RIP :wink: ). Subscription is free for 14 days then £5 a month.

This was posted in a facebook group I'm in for local singlespeeders

I watched it last night and it was a pleasant change of viewing. Be warned, if an hour of fixie riders tearing round San Francisco mainly without helmets and cutting through traffic to a soundtrack of cool music isn't your thing then look away now :lol:

But might interest some. Weirdly, when I was watching it I had an urge to buy a fixie and get tattoos but I think that might just be a 50 year old man's inner self wanting to be cool again :lol:

Watched a few of his films last year, pretty mental, but fair play for taking such big risks :lol:

Cheers, that works :-bd

Someone on here recommended an edit on a chap that decided to run a marathon in one day, running a mile every hour* and then doing tasks between. Watched it a year or so ago and enjoyed it, impressive what you can do in a day if you put your mind to it

*he ran 3 miles for the first hour before anyone comments

Edit here it is

Good call, that's a great movie. I've just looked up the soundtrack on YouTube and just the opening bars of Welcome To Lunar Industries is making the hairs stand up on the back of my neck :smile:

Cracking film. Also the basis of a cracking Essential Mix by James Zabiela in 2010.

Id highly recommend Dark city ( directors cut )
A strangely unknown SIFI classic which predates the matrix but is very similar in style.

Check out Where Dreams Go To Die - Gary Robbins and The Barkley Marathons, that'll put you off running... or not.
