Breaking Away
I recently watched a movie that I hadn’t seen in years called Breaking Away, which was a 1979 production about a kid in Indiana who was in love with biking and won in one of those “against all odds” type races. I was really into biking when I was young, so it was a favorite film of mine, and nice to re-visit.

Many of the spreads are gargantuan. 30% of the country is Jewish? 41% is black? 41% are Catholic? Who ARE these morons they are asking?
