About this product
Product Information
Dave is a recent high school graduate in Bloomington, Indiana, who is caught with his friends coasting between high school and deciding what to do with the rest of their lives. The four friends are snobbishly looked down upon by the college students of the town as 'cutters', since they were born in Bloomington and their parents worked in the local limestone quarries that built the university. Dave wants to be a champion bicycle racer and he idolizes the Italian racing team. Dave falls for a college girl, but is ashamed to admit he is a cutter and poses as an Italian exchange student to impress her. Dave is particularly excited when his heroes come to town for a race. But they are even more snobbish than the college students and rely on dirty tricks to keep Dave from winning a race against them...Product Identifiers

Additional InformationDennis Christopher stars as a recent high school graduate in Bloomington, Indiana, who is caught with his friends -- Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern, Jackie Earle Haley -- coasting between high school and deciding what to do with the rest of their lives. The four friends are snobbishly looked down upon by the college students of the town as 'cutters', since they were born in Bloomington and their parents worked in the local limestone quarries that built the university. Dennis Christopher's character Dave wants to be a champion bicycle racer and he idolizes the Italian racing team -- so much so that he speaks, thinks, and acts Italian, all to his father's (Paul Dooley) forlorn exasperation. Dave falls for a college girl (Robyn Douglass), but is ashamed to admit he is a cutter and poses as an Italian exchange student to impress her. Dave is particularly excited when his heroes -- the Italian racers -- come to town for a race. But they are even more snobbish than the college students and rely on dirty tricks to keep Dave from winning a race against them. After that ordeal, Dave throws away his false identity and convinces his friends to enter the university's "Little 500" bicycle race against the college students. This light-hearted and heartwarming tale was a surprising word-of-mouth success at the box-office and won several awards, including an Academy Award for Best Screenplay.

Cycling, racing, chasing women, funniest dad, and not a mobile phone in sight!
A gem of a movie. Snippets of truly engaging film. An all star cast. A great script. What more could you want? So good I had to watch it twice. I remember watching this as a child, and wanted to see if it was as good as I remember. 100%Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Awesome David Yates directed film staring Dennis Quaid.
Brilliant late 70's comedy drama, was nominated for 5 oscars winning best screenplay. If you like cycling or films about 4 friends trying to escape their one horse town you'll love this. Not always easy to find on region 2 its well worth picking up if you can find a copy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
