Dale

Certainly one of the greatest movies ever made about one of racing's most legendary figures. I loved the way the movie continually segued around Earnhardt's triumph at Daytona ... simply one of the best movies I've ever seen. A total success! I particularly enjoyed the comments by Darrell Waltrip ... and how he described his friendly, then awful, then almost-brotherly relationship with Earnhardt. I'm surprised, and a bit puzzled, why Michael Waltrip wasn't interviewed for the movie ... particularly given his unique relationship with Earnhardt. Watching Dale's race was chilling ... brought back all the memories of watching it unfold live ... and listening to Waltrip's haunting "what about Dale ..." after his exuberant celebration of Mikey's victory. Dale Earnhardt was simply the greatest. He triumphed at a time when NASCAR was truly the fan's sport ... and not the bogus, washed-up, commercial machine of today. It's a sad state when professional wrestling can be said to be more up-and-up than today's NASCAR circuit ... some of the things I've seen transpire over the past several years have all but driven me from the sport. In that sense, I'm glad Earnhardt died when he did ... so he didn't have to experience the shame of what his sport has become.

I remember seeing Dale the movie 2007 with my brother, two family friends and my dad in theaters for a special screening to see Dale 2007

I give Dale an 10 out of 10

Dale (2007)

*** 1/2 (out of 4)

Paul Newman narrates this documentary about the life and career of Nascar legend Dale Earnhardt. I must admit that I'm not of fan of Nascar and I really don't see what all the hype is about but I watched this documentary because I've always been interested about Earnhardt plus I always love hearing Newman's voice. This documentary really changed my mind about the sport and it also made me understand why Earnhardt has become such a legend in the six years since his death. There are countless interviews with his family and friends as well as old interviews with Earnhardt himself. The best interviews come from the fans who explain why they loved the man so much and seeing Earnhardt on his farm working just days after winning millions of dollars perfectly captured why he was so loved. The documentary is edited together fairly sloppy but that's the only complaint from me.

Loved the movie. I cried at the end. If you are a NASCAR fan this is the movie for you. He is truly a NASCAR legend and I liked the way the film portrayed him as being just that I felt it showed the good and bad times of his life and his struggles through those times. The documentary was in my opinion better than the 2004 movie played by Barry Pepper. Although it is difficult to compare a documentary to a movie. Great movie and would recommend highly- the footage was outstanding and well edited. The movie captures the true nature of the sport and the interviews at the end were very moving.

I have the movie poster would anyone know how much it might be worth?

I got into NASCAR after watching the movie CARS. I became a fan of both Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. When I found out this movie was coming out to CMT in September 2007 I was just so excited. I loved it. It was better than the 3 movie with Barry Pepper. It really explained Dale's life from racing all the way up until his death on the final lap of the Daytona 500 in February 18 2001. I really liked it when Dale called Dale Junior a teddy bear and Dale Junior said No Dad. I'm a polar bear. That was pretty funney. I cried when Dale's death scene came up and the president of Nascar announced Dale's death. It was pretty sad but I'm glad Dale lived and died doing what he loved best. This movie is very good and includes on the DVD bonus features and additional interviews with Dale's friends, family, and competitors. Dale was a true American icon and the story of his life was meant to be told by this documentary film! 10 out of 10! Now I hope that they make a documentary film about Jeff Gordon.
