Madison
The Miss Madison may have seen better days, but she's about to go out in a blaze of glory. The pride of Madison, Indiana, the dilapidated hydroplane's been entered in the 1971 Gold Cup Championship race, whose $50,000 prize money has been raised by the town itself. Chosen to pilot the craft is Jim McCormick, a local man who's sacrificed his family's future to enter the race. Supported by an idolizing son, an understanding wife and a legendary mechanic, Jim takes the Miss Madison on her final voyage, in a race to the finish that will leave you cheering!

I liked this movie. It wasn’t anything completely different from the little-guy-comes-from-behind-and-saves-the-day that Hollywood puts out, but I liked it. It’s based on a true story and even includes actual original footage from the race that runs during the credits. This race turned a town around, and instead of crumbling like many neighbouring towns, it flourished into a tourist community, and this race put it on the map. Great acting by Jim Caviezel (so handsome!) and the rest of the cast. If you’re looking for a feel-good movie this one won’t disappoint.Fun Family or Racing Fan Film - Jay4
Even though we knew the ending, we couldn't help cheering. You don't have to be a boat racing fan to enjoy the movie. There were many funny moments as well as touching ones. The movie shows how one man can make a difference in an entire community as well as his own family. Worth watching and has some terrific old footage of the main characters at the race.
