Best running/cycling/athletics Movies on Netflix

I watched Slaying the Badger a while ago and like it. Greg LeMond and Bernard Hinaut story, slanted in LeMond's favor (maybe rightly so!?).

Not sure they're all on netflix but Ill give you my list, most are on youtube, a few flotrack films listed

RUNNING

Spirit of the Marathon - Pretty amateur film, but a decent watch for hobby joggers

Town of Runner - inside observations of the Ethiopian training system?

Running the Sahara - Charlie Engle, Ray Zahab and Kevin Lin as they battle sandstorms and injury to cross the vast Sahara desert.

"Without Limits" is a great movie about Steve Prefontaine.

Transcend Running Documentary(also on flotack now) - "Hoping to help his country escape poverty, Boston Marathon winner Wesley Korir risks his running career to run for office in his native Kenya."

Flotrack favorites - Cam Levins, Alan webb, Bernard lagatt, wilson kipsang, Ryan hall, & Nick Symmonds. Also, inside kenya and inside michigan are good.

CYCLING

Clean Spirit - Argos Shimano cycling team on clean cycling, very good modern cycling docu.

Hell On Wheels - classic cycling docu, team telecom follows rolf and erik zabel, interesting knowing these guys were on the sauce at the time this was filmed. Would probably be too dry for non serious cycling fans, but a wonderful insight to the cycling world of old.

Ride the Divide - meh not really for me but im sure others would probably love it

Bradley Wiggins a year in yellow - inside look at wiggo

Mark Cavendish - Human Missile

Blood Sweat and Gears (7 Parts) - Cervelo test team

Team MTN Qhubeka: An African Bicycle Dream (6 Episodes) - very interesting especially after their success this past Tour de France

CSC 2004-Overcoming, captures some of my favourite TdF highlights, great riding and insight into riding as a top team, training, thought process, contracts, etc

British Cycling Road to Glory in 5 Parts - definitely one of the best, modern sky cycling footage

Stop at Nothing: the Lance Armstrong Story

FORMULA 1 & MOTOGP + Tom Cruise

not running or cycling, etc, but racing and good movies/docu

Fastest 2011 - MotoGP racer Valentino Rossi faces stiff competition from a crop of young competitors as he pursues his 10th world title. Just a great look at MotoGP and what they go through

Hitting the Apex 2015 - the story of six fighters - six of the fastest motorcycle racers the world has ever seen - and of the fates that awaited them at the peak

Senna 2011 - Formula 1 docu on Senna explores the life and work of the triple world champion

Days Of Thunder - Tom Cruise, stock car racing actually a decent sunday afternoon, take your socks off have a nap kinda movie

Thank you!!!! keep the suggestions coming!

'4 Minute Mile'. It's a drama about a HS runner with a messed up home life.

Also, 'Desert Runners'. It's about ultra runners.
