On Any Sunday is a documentary film about motorcycle sport, directed by Bruce Brown. It was nominated for a Best Documentary Feature Oscar in 1972.
This documentary follows the lives of motorcycle racers and racing enthusiasts. Although the film dates from the 1970s it is considered one of the best motorcycling movies available. The road racing footage is considered first rate, and details the early developments of motorcycling as a sport.
In addition to its interest for motorcyclists, Adam Parr (movie reviewer from dvdork.com) considers this "a perfect time period piece"
I don't know that I've ever seen another movie which so perfectly captures the spirit, style and essence of the decade of the 70's without ever having consciously tried to do so.
Steve McQueen is featured in the film, along with Mert Lawwill, Malcolm Smith and many other motorcycle racers from the late 1960s and early 1970s.
