(I assume a few of us are not opposed to watching the occasional French Romantic Comedy)

If you need something to watch tonight instead of the Super Bowl, may I recommend "Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain" (2001) a.k.a. "Amelie" for short. It includes a tiny bit of file footage from old Tour de France, mentions Federico Bahamontes and his victory in the 1959 TdF, and features a 1950s vintage tin bicycle racer toy much like those currently involved in list discussions.
