Of all the movies my father introduced me to this was my favorite. DYK: McQueen refused to do the movie unless he was allowed to ride a motorcycle. They wrote in the scene where he jumps the fene just to get him to be in the film.

Everytime I start doing something difficult I find myself whistling the theme song to this movie. One of my all time favorites.
