Cycling films - which is one do like best?

I agree with all these apart from Earthed 5. Whoever chose the music for that needs to be shot, didn't like it at all and I think the music was a major part of that.
To be honest, that's one the reasons that I'd choose Earthed 5. The music is truly excellent (the Earthed series was always good) and a million miles away from the by-numbers generic stuff that nearly every other mountain bike film lazily uses (rock-lite, hiphop-lite, raggae-lite, punk-lite, pile-o-shite). I enjoyed The Tipping Point a lot too.
Sunday in Hell is a classic; there was also another road film which followed, oh, i forget which particular bunch of lycra-clad, Belgian-mix fuelled madmen through a Tour de France... T-Mobile? Hell on Wheels? That was fun.
For my money, Virtuous and Transition take the prize for most soulless pieces of crap purporting to be about mountain biking committed to film.

The Tipping Point

Uprising because of the soundtrack and that it focusses on technical rather than balls out riding.

Seasons for the pure cinematography and wow factor experience, there's a fair amount of "duuuude" to cope with though although Cam Mccaul does actually just makes me smile now.

I love Seasons... It's just superbly filmed, I can watch it over and over, especially the Whistler section.

I thought Virtous was pretty much the greatest film ever. Hans and Frischi's Freeride Adventure (or whatever it was actually called) is also a guddun, for the cheese factory visit alone

Seasons is always good and I've quite enjoyed the documentary style Clay Porter films of the last two WC seasons.

has to be E.T. . The bmx chase followed by some rad jumping in front of a full moon, superbly shot and not a single injury really when they landed in the bushes

Between the tape is my favourite current film.
But this is the one film I genuinely have been excited about and anticipating for a long time:
