Glad I started this topic. Every post has good picks I didn’t think of.
The Wrestler was awesome.
The Wrestler was fantastic .
Reminds me of another wrestling movie. A doc. on Andre The Giant.
What a great guy.
Believe that was just on not too long ago on Biography.
I saw him as a kid on “Maple Leaf Wrestling.” Along with Angelo “King Kong”
Mosca.

Football: "The Longest Yard" (1974)-"Point shaving on Football is Unamerican"- Caretaker.

Sports docs: "Small Potatoes, Who Killed The USFL"- "If God wanted Football in the Spring, He wouldn't have created Baseball"
The HBO Andre the Giant Doc was great. A&E has been airing a bunch of WWE Wrestler docs as of late, from Shawn Micheals to Macho Man Randy Savage to Rowdy Roddy Piper, and etc. I have seen a few of them, and they’re pretty good.
Another good wrestling documentary is "Beyond the Mat" from either 1999 or 2000 . It basically focuses on Terry Funk , Mick Foley and Jake Roberts as well as an up and comer who calls himself The Rock . Also along with other wrestlers as well as the man himself Vince McMahon and a skinny younger version of Paul Heyman are featured inside and outside of the ring in the crazy world of Pro Wrestling .
Here is the Directors cut trailer for this doc .
Another clip of the pre match backstage preps between the Rock and Foley before their infamous I quit match when the Rock defeats Mankind for the Championship belt .
And Ultimate Warrior was this past weekend.
'Have a potato."
Brian’s Song
Miracle
The Pride of the Yankees
Original Rocky
Others… The Terry Fox Story, Race, One Day in September
When I heard Brian's Song it reminded me of
Something for Joey
Football Movie
about John Cappelletti and his young brother Joey .
Marc Singer a Canadian born actor was the lead .
"Rocky" shouldn't count as a Boxing movie. It's a love story first than a sport movie. Boxing was used a backdrop for the storyline.
Stallone stole that story from the life of Chuck Wepner
