If you have the slightest bit of interest in F1 (or even just decent films), then SEE THIS!
It's one of the best films I've ever watched - certainly the greatest car/racing related one. Ron Howard's take on Apollo 13, was good, but I'd say this is even better.
So many great moments. Characters with real depth, from a time not that long ago when every driver accepted the 20% risk of dying at every race they ran.
Lots of input from Lotus and Classic Team Lotus too.

My Lad went to see it and he was amazed at how well put together this was, the attention to detail is something else I believe, I'm hoping to see it this weekend, have seen a few clips advertising it and the characters are pretty good too

went with my daughter the other day - great movie - but the Crystal Palace scenes are actually Cadwell Park

I'll get my anorak

Saw it last night. I was at Crystal Palace in 1970 and it didn't look right

Enjoyed the film, though.

Well I finally managed to get to the Cinema to see Rush, wasn't disappointed and would certainly watch it again when it hits the small screen
