These films aren’t your standard video fare of bikes jumping off cliffs, guys riding wheelies for miles at a time or groups of spandex clad men racing over hill and dale either. No, these are major releases staring some very famous actors and actresses. Some are even Academy Award Winning productions! Some are made with small budgets with actors you have never heard of. Some are made here in the United States while others are from Canada, Great Britain, China and France. Some are cheesy while others very poignant. But all really are simply incredible in their own ways!
