Dale

I saw "Dale" at the Premiere in Daytona , FL . I've gotta say its excellent and far exceeds any project I've seen to correctly capture the life and times of Dale Earnhardt. I feel this movie blows ESPN's "3" out of the water. I know they aren't the same "type" of film but I still feel that an archival film could have been made instead of a fictionalized story.

I really enjoyed this movie and I recommend it -- Great job and Kudo's for all your work tracking down the fantastic footage for this and editing it together so well . It was all on the money , Sound , Pacing and those wonderful hallmark moments.

WHile it was a nice movie i think it is just ridiculously being compared to ESPN's 3 and the two are hardly the same time of movie. One user even listed 3 as fictions which it isn't. Dale is a nicely put together narrated version of Dale Earnhardt's life vie the use of old clips and interviews. It's a nice documentary, but a documentary none the less. I think something alittle more combined like the 3 and Dale together would be the best way to pay homage to great Intimidator.

Watch it, love it, live it. It's bring you to tears, break your heart, and make you smile and grin. It's a documented story that grabs your heart.

If you're already a Nascar fan, you'll love this film, hands down.

If you aren't a fan, but are curious what makes Dale Earnhardt's legacy in Nascar so powerful, watch this film to learn about the Intimidator. A wonderful overview of his career, family, following, and spirit.

I would call it a fair and fitting tribute to an inspirational figure. The solo interviews with Dale are really touching, and the whole film is emotionally charged with Dale's spirit and passion for the sport.

The film as a whole isn't an artistic masterpiece, but the subject matter is powerful enough to make it an enjoyable, and at times bittersweet, picture of Dale. A big step up from an ESPN 'SportsCentury' style documentary.

The film doesn't play Dale up for more than he was - a born racer. He loved to drive and he loved to win, and that drive dominated his life to the end. But his swagger and effect on his crewmates and fans, I think, are what makes him legendary more so than his wins.

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.

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.
