Was roaming around the net tonight doing some research into drivers, races, and old movies. I thought I'd post this as I know some of you really enjoy old movies, especially where there's "SPEED MAD CROWDS...." involved! Red Hot Tires 1935 A race car driver wrongly convicted of a murder escapes prison to prove his innocence! <object width='320' height='255'><param name='movie' value='http://i.cdn.turner.com/tegwebapps/tcm/tcm-www/static/flash/popup_player.swf' /><param name='FlashVars' value='id=132372' /><embed src='http://i.cdn.turner.com/tegwebapps/tcm/tcm-www/static/flash/popup_player.swf' FlashVars='id=132372' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='320' height='255'></embed></object>
Yeah thought you guys would like it.... glad you did. There's an OLD movie with Jimmy Stewart in it,.. can't recall the name just now, but if I'm correct it was his first movie he did and it was about racing too! I think it was called, "SPEED". ? We watch the news, (once in a while) and TCM,... occasionally they've been showing some horrible 1960s crap so we might catch something else, but its pretty much a constant diet of TCM in my house!
Here's a clip from the movie,.. a 6 min. one. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W0qkaQeqSIk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W0qkaQeqSIk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I haven't found any, but it was supposedly only on VHS from what I've found as far as info on it. Just another great movie that hasn't been put on DVD!

Hey that's great! Now if we can just get that to DVD we'll be set! I'll take that or a showing of it on the big screen!
Don't mean to rob your thread, but NetFlix has Two Lane Blacktop available. Watched it again a few nights ago. I'd forgotten what GREAT cinematography it was, really crisp clean video with excellent color. Must have been digitally remastered or something!
Oh that's ok,... I've seen posts about a guy's new racing slicks in a threads dedicated to questions on flathead intakes, so I guess everything's fair game...? Good movie though. Watched it when I was a kid.
nice stuff coaltown... thank you. If I had a T.V. I'd be after those videos.....Its way more relaxing with out. Thanks again man...
I just think it's pretty cool to bring out in the open some stuff people have overlooked all these years. What's old, is new again!
This is really cool stuff, thanks for posting it. There was a sight posted before where you can find stills of cars from a lot of movies,.. these are from "The Big Wheel" Here's the sight address,..... http://www.imcdb.org/
More old movies from the 1930s dealing with racing or hot rods are: - Speed Devils (1936) - Burn 'em Up Barnes (series of movies, 1934?)
