Hidden treasure
Not a frequently shown film, but a highly recommended one. A good chance to see Kevin Costner early in his career; you see the spark that made him into one of Hollywood’s most prominent actors. Also an early chance to see an odd type of performance from Jennifer Grey, before “Dirty Dancing.” You don’t have to be a cycling fan to enjoy this poignant movie.

American Flyers
Delightful film, directed by John Badham, stars Kevin Costner and David Grant as brothers who decide to participate in a Colorado race as a team–one of the two dying of a brain illness–and it’s a difficult, grueling three-stage(each stage is one day)affair where they will be competing with the very best bikers in the world, including a Russian Olympiad and the previous winner(who Costner could’ve beaten had he not been content with second, letting off so that Cannibal could win). It’s one of those kinds of adventure dramas with plenty of heart, sincerity, and tenderness, maybe a bit too “feel good” for some. The story is ultimately about brotherly love and even develops a romance with a hitchhiking traveler trekking cross country(an adorable Alexandra Paul) and Grant. Ray Dawn Chong is Costner’s love interest who drives the team van, assisting them when they need repairs. Costner is really good as the big brother who has been keeping a secret from his sibling and has reasons for motivating him to join him in the Colorado race. Not only is the cast irresistible, but the race is quite thrilling and compelling, albeit predictable in the ROCKY/KARATE KID tradition. A real winner, I believe, with a satisfying conclusion containing a great message about perseverance against multiple obstacles. I have always been partial to bike race movies(or stunt bike movies)and believe this would be an ideal pairing with BREAKING AWAY. Luca Bercovici is the Brother Sommers’ nemesis, Muzzin(nicknamed the Cannibal), once married to Chong’s character. Paul and Grant have wonderful chemistry on screen and the love Costner and Chong share is quite genuine and heart-felt. I really think the film hums nicely when the Sommers ride together where you can see the joy visible on both of their faces. John Amos, as Costner’s business partner operating a fitness gym, is wonderful. Paul really shines here, her engaging smile and exuberant personality really won me over.
