As plenty others have said, A Sunday in Hell is hands down the best cycling film.
As for races, while the classics are my favourites, for some reason or other I still get goosebumps looking back at attacks from doped up climbers:
Iban Mayo's win on Alpe d'Huez in 2003. Yes, I know Lance didn't have to chase him and Beloki was the main threat, but god he went off the front so fast the camera couldn't track him and then makes it all look so effortless, the jersey wide open, the Basques going nuts
Pantani versus Tonkov in the 1998 Giro:
But the best of all was Claudio Chiapucci's win into Sestrières in the 1992 Tour:

The Flying Scotsman is an excellent movie.
Favourite cycling documentary is The High Life (Robert Millar).
Hell on Wheels is good to.
Was that Tyler Hamilton docu movie ever released (he got busted for doping during the movie)?
+1 on the Flying Scotsman, great film, love that clip where your man from the UCI goes "you English are all mad men" and he goes "if you call me English again you will see a madman" I'm actually reading In Search of Robert Millar at the moment, it's really good, I'd say I'll be finished with it in the next week or so if someone wants to put a dibs on it, I also have Rough Ride if someone wants to PM me. The docu movie with Tyler Hamilton was Wired to Win which was an iMax thing to do with the brain(I think that's the one you're on about). There's a cracking out-takes thing on you-tube which I'm sure I've posted before but for your pleasure here it is again:

I think this film might have the potential to be the worst cycling fim ever. It really looks terrible. It also has Phil Liggett in it, unfortunately.

best youtube race clip - kelly chasing down argentin off the poggio to take milan-san remo in '92
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUQKOSti7FQ
A story about this race is that when the tiffosi heard that argentin, a national hero at the time was in the lead they were going ape s**t but when it came through that kelly was closing fast and it would most likely go to a sprint finish they resigned themselves to the fact that it was going to be a second place for their man.
