				"There's a point at 7,000 
				RPM... where everything fades. The machine becomes weightless. 
				Just disappears. And all that's left is a body moving through 
				space and time." - 
				Carroll Shelby 
				Why watch this? It 
				is a splendid movie that's, historically, quite interesting. 
				Plot Summary: 
				In the mid-1960s, a determined team of American engineers and 
				designers led by automotive designer Carroll Shelby and driver 
				Ken Miles are tasked by Henry Ford II and Lee Iacocca to build a 
				revolutionary race car for Ford. Their goal is to challenge and 
				defeat the perennially dominant Italian racing team, Scuderia 
				Ferrari, at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France 
				in 1966. Dad's Preview: 
				This illustrates a tenet that many of us have known for years: 
				To 
				be successful, you can't cheat. You have to find the expert, 
				give that person the funding and turn 'em loose. It plays out 
				here as two car companies compete in the race for speed. 
				Damon is solid, and Christian Bale continues to impress - he's one of the 
				great male actors of his generation.
