Up above I was talking about McQueens Lost Movie and Grand Prix. Well while Grand Prix knocked out McQueens own F1 racing movie the bug to get a racing off the ground never left McQueen.
The result, Le Mans. Well it looked in the Lost Movie like McQueen was taking this racing movie as about as seriously as a man can and Le Mans is about as serious a racing movie as your going to get. It clocks in at just under two hours and I'd hazard a good 80 minutes of those is spent just watching the cars go round and round. Very little dialogue. No story to speak of. Because LeMans is closed cockpits you can't even see that its McQueen in the drivers seat which I think was the most important point about the earlier failed project.
Its a very strange vanity project that can only be recommended to your serious petrol head. Still preferred it to Grand Prix.
