Steve McQueen, is he in or out with this crowd? Just listening to "The Windmills of Your Mind" and wondering if he would fly on this forum. Before my time but its beautiful music.

Bullitt and The Getaway, two of my all time favorite movies. Even named my American Bulldog Bullitt, so definitely a fan of his work.
He's in

Loved Bullitt, but I never saw "The Getaway". Top of my list now!
Watch the movie On any Sunday and decide. I've spent enough time with Malcolm Smith to assume that McQueen was a similar 'Salt of the Earth' type of guy. McQueen's true passion was motorsports and the movie industry was his way to support it.
Make sure to get the original not the later remake. Also check out The Sand Pebbles. Enjoy!
The Great Escape. Did his own stunts on the motorcycle.
Don't think I ever saw a " bad" Steve McQueen movie

I just saw this, free Steve McQueen movie streaming Friday night 1900hrs west coast. It is a church website, and there will most likely be some commentary by the pastor who wrote a book about Steve, so if that bothers you, avoid the link below.

Damn, all y'all were listing his greatest hits no one mentioned The Hunter? Great flick, right up there with The Great Escape.
As tragic as his early passing was, at least he went out a man. I don't think I could've taken watching him try to fall in with the Hollywood leftists and titty babies of today. I'd like to think that he'd have remained a toxically masculine outlier.

Maybe my imagination is run amok, but I’m a little frightened by this statement....
Another vote for "On Any Sunday", though "The Great Escape" was a close second. In my view, anyways.
Actually, he wasn't allowed to do the fence jump scene, a riding buddy of his did it.
Fascinating reading about McQueen:
Movies: Outstanding. Always a joy to watch. Monies used for his love of auto/motorcycle racing.
Religion: Born Catholic, contributed to Catholic based charities-those that help troubled youths. Late in life became a Born Again Christian.
Politics: Republican, yet was on Nixon's enemies list. Conflicting reports as to whether he was or was not at the Civil Rights March
If alive today, would probably support 2A. While he would probably lean to the right, his empathy for others and stance on different issues might make him an Independent as he would probably not want to be pigeon holed to any one thing. Just my speculation from what I have read.

Met Malcolm in the early 90's, at his shop in Riverside,Ca.. Fantastic man and was a pleasure to talk to. Had a hell of a sales pitch too, because I bought a KTM that same day, LoL! Mac
Mert Lawill from that movie 'On Any Sunday' is a great guy and a heck of a designer (of motorcycles) as well. I haven't met him, but have spoken on the phone to him.
On Any Sunday is a trip down memory lane for me. I raced in motocross and desert races during the early 1970's in SoCal and remember most of the events and locations and people in the movie. I never got to meet Malcolm or Steve, but did get to eat their dust at the Elsinore Grand Prix, once. I watch the movie with my kids, grandkids and great grandkids, to show them what it was like in the old days.
Steve McQueen was one of my favorite actors, a fellow dirt biker, a brother Marine and a brother in Christ. RIP

Damn, youre an old sack of ...like me. ?
This right there is about as close to reality as it comes,they (we) just loved to ride.
Those guys also loved Pismo
Back in the day no one could touch our factory Husqvarna's.
Our production bikes were flat out scary and you were king of the heap if you could get one.
Then the big three Japanese companies broke into the scene, it seemed everything changed after that.
