SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
A lavish, good-natured period competition with eccentric rivals, elaborate vehicles, globe-spanning mishaps, and the same affectionate appetite for cartoon-scale spectacle.
02
Why this pick
Blake Edwards brings similarly elegant widescreen comedy, playful romantic intrigue, physical gags, and a gleefully bumbling villainous presence in an Alpine caper.
03
Why this pick
Its extravagant invented world, flamboyant antagonist, oversized sets, and sincere childlike sense of adventure echo the joyous visual excess behind The Great Race.
04
Why this pick
For the same delight in monumental production design and impossible escapades, this is a more fantastical, visually baroque comic adventure with a grand old-school spirit.
05
Why this pick
A more adventurous, bittersweet cousin: charismatic rivals travel through spectacular terrain in a robust old-fashioned yarn with wit, camaraderie, and magnificent scale.
