Movies: Sports

Tales of athletic competition, typically featuring rags-to-riches stories
of perseverance and rag-tag underdogs taking on better-equipped, arrogant
Goliaths. Also includes recreations of historical sporting events,
clubhouse comedies, and stories of athletes contracting fatal diseases.
There may be no crying in baseball, but there's plenty in Brian's Song.


Pick of the Litter: VideoHound Best of Sports


Brian's Song
(1971) G
The story of the unique relationship between Gale Sayers, the Chicago
Bears' star running back, and his teammate Brian Piccolo. The friendship
between the Bears' first interracial roommates ended suddenly when Brian
Piccolo lost his life to cancer. Incredibly well received in its time.


Woman of the Year
(1942)
First classic Tracy/Hepburn pairing concerns the rocky marriage of a
renowned political columnist and a lowly sportswriter. Baseball scene with
Hepburn at her first game is delightful. Hilarious, rich entertainment
that tries to answer the question "What really matters in life?" Tracy and
Hepburn began a close friendship that paralleled ... more


On the Waterfront
(1954)
A trend-setting, gritty portrait of New York dock workers embroiled in
union violence. Cobb is the gangster union boss, Steiger his crooked
lawyer, and Brando, Steiger's ex-fighter brother who "could've been a
contender!" Intense performances and excellent direction stand up well
today. The picture was a huge financial success.


E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
(1982) PG
Spielberg's famous fantasy, one of the most popular films in history,
portrays a limpid-eyed alien stranded on earth and his special bonding
relationship with a young boy. A modern fairy tale providing warmth, humor
and sheer wonder. Held the first place spot as the highest grossing movie
of all time ... more


The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
(1999) PG
Excellent documentary tells the story of Detroit Tiger Hall of Fame first
baseman Hank Greenberg though interviews with sportswriters, teammates,
other players of the era, and fans (many of which were young Jewish boys
who later became famous themselves), and archival footage from on and off
the field. Details Greenberg's ... more
