Post any movie suggestions which are NOT new releases.

Tonight I'm watching End of Watch.

Never wanted anything as a teen more than I wanted RL Osborne's bike.

Closest I got was a pair of 401 Flight Cranks, but recall those alone cost a pretty penny.

Absolutely... Those bikes go for a couple of grand now.

I've seen it - it has most definitely been many years. Thank you - I'll watch it again.

Guys feel free to drop hidden gems in here. Any genre.

Thank you.

Venerable Mongoose 'Motomag' frame, but it was the signature edition

Araya Z-Rims
Redline 401 Flight Cranks
Redline Forklifter Handlebars
Haro Pedals
ACS ProNeck stem
ACS brakes
Odyssey Gyro
Avocet Seat with reclined seatpost

Most all of it is in decent condition in my parent's attic [The rear hub blew out the spoke holes on a last bad landing before I put it in storage]

Unfortunately I sold mine a long, long time ago.

Earlier, I called my frame the 'Motomag' but a signature edition.

The 'signature' name finally came to me.

Roger DeCoster.

This is exactly what I built my kit around, as described above.

even though it's saturated with vintage flavor - that looks heavy as heck.

It was actually the first mass-produced 4130 Chromoly frame [late late 70s].
It was a little heavier than the lightest frames of the time [mid-80s], but I actually liked the heft. And I REALLY like the geometry.

My buddy had a GT Pro Performer, and every time I tried to get big air, it wanted to wiggle out from under me in the air, and I played heck landing it with my feet still on the pedals. The Mongoose was light enough to accelerate quickly but had enough heft to stay under me even when I was 10-15 feet off the ground.

It just felt 'right' whatever I wanted to do on it. Ground stuff, air stuff, dirt stuff. Real solid and well thought out.

Buddy's bike was almost exactly like this;

It was OK on the ground, doing decades and endos and shit. But I hated it in the dirt or in the air.

I never owned a Mongoose, but I wanted one. I always liked those bikes.

Breakfast at Tiffany's!

Rented it back around 2000 after watching a bio of Audrey Hepburn on TV. I really enjoyed it. I loved her solo of Moon River.

I'd live to see some other oldies from that time too.

Assuming you want something that isn't a no-brainer [ie already on great movie lists], but also isn't so obscure that you have no idea what you're getting into.
