The World’s Fastest Indian

One reviewer called this “a chick flick for guys”, presumably because it’s an emotionally uplifting tear jerker that just happens to be about one man and his motorcycle! This is a film based on the true story of an elderly and eccentric New Zealander, Burt Munro, played to great acclaim here by Anthony Hopkins. Burt builds an old 1920’s era motorcycle (the ‘Indian’ of the title) in his garden shed and then embarks on a journey to Utah in the 1960s with a dream of breaking the world land speed record. By all accounts an inspirational, feel-good movie with universal appeal.
