Interesting thought about passion, I guess that is true though why there isn't more decent films about football is anybodys guess. Football fans are ridiculously passionate. Films about football generally suck don't they?ilovethatfilmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882133059882238037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726917913952308047.post-84248390465433502732012-02-26T12:56:55.966-08:002012-02-26T12:56:55.966-08:00I guess sports movies are pretty tricky as they ca...I guess sports movies are pretty tricky as they can easily fall into the cliche, you know.... underdog-get beaten-train under wise mentor-discover good values-climatic win. But then again that formula when properly done does end up with a pretty entertaining flick. Probably what works is what makes people fall in love with sports in the first place... passion. The sheer joy and ecstasy of being asrap virtuosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619196693619042618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726917913952308047.post-350552769300470192012-02-24T10:11:53.813-08:002012-02-24T10:11:53.813-08:00Hoop Dreams is great, I'll have to seek out Ha...Hoop Dreams is great, I'll have to seek out Hans on a Hardbody, thanks for the recommendation Shep! Cool will also look into He Got Game and Glory Road. Loved Any Given Sunday and very pleasantly surprised by Real Steel!

I'm the same, absolutely no interest in football and besides how would we ever find the time to support a team when we're this deicated to film??? Will deinitely catch Warrior and Senna when Lovefilm sends them out. I always loved the Mighty Ducks but then ice hockey was the only team sport I ever played.ilovethatfilmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882133059882238037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726917913952308047.post-38223364100921368112012-02-24T02:00:40.524-08:002012-02-24T02:00:40.524-08:00Nice post you have here.

I'd say you don't need to be a sports fan to be able to enjoy a good sports film the same goes for most genres I think if the product is good enough. <br /><br />When it comes to docs I'd recommend Hoop Dreams and a fairly unknown film called Hands on a Hardbody.<br /><br />Some of my favorite fiction films are He Got Game, Any Given Sunday, Glory Road and oneShep.

I have never really been into sports. I do not follow a footy team, which is almost like sacrilege for a British 30 something male!<br /><br />But for some reason I do like a sports movie. Has to have the right level of emotion though. I loved Scott Lawlorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494245383368638698noreply@blogger.com
