Rush.
Kinda spoiler:
One thing bothered me about the movie.
It was clear Lauda and Hunt were such bitter rivals, but the movie never really showed it on the track. It all starts with the one race at the beginning where Lauda spun. Then at the end of another season where Lauda and Hunt are duking it out to the finish for Lauda to win. If they were such bitter rivals, what about the rest of that season? What about all the racing that happened since the first event that sparked it all? I even looked at my wife and said "WTF, that's the last race of the season, what about the rest of it? They just skip over it all??!" They could have even just showed some clips of close calls and tire-to-tire racing, just 20 seconds of footage would have summed up the entire year... Oh, then fast forward to the fateful race in '76 where everything changes.
The rest was all about their wives and Hunt puking before every race.
It was obvious that they didn't like each other, but they never really showed the rivalry in action until near the end. That's the only thing I didn't like about it. Great movie otherwise.
