Million Dollar Baby - Tells a story that will truly move your soul and leave a lasting impression. If you go see one movie in 2004, make sure it's this one. You won't be disappointed

Miracle - The best sports action to ever be filmed. Two very important aspects put this one at the top of the list: not too overly exaggerated hits and actors that move like real athletes...

Hi,
The Wrestler - Well-written and brilliantly directed little tale about an aging wrestler trying to come to grips with his fading career. Mickey Rourke and Marissa Tomei are wonderful together.
Prefontaine - the best "minor" sports movie. It's allure is that the imperfect Steve Prefontaine can overcome his imperfections to become an Olympic class runner. Inspiration for everyone. You also get to see how Nike was founded.

Thanks

Hello


The best sports action to ever be filmed. Two very important aspects put this one at the top of the list: sports action and physicality that's not too overly exaggerated and actors that move like real athletes.The Express passes another test of "greatness." The movie has an appeal that surpasses the specific nature of its subject Sports, or even more specifically Football, or even Ernie Davis whose life story this is. Call it meeting the Shakespeare test if you like. You will enjoy better be mesmerized by this Story no matter your background, interest or age. If you are African American The Express will overpower you inspire you enrage you in ways Caucasians can't be. But if you are White or more broadly non-African American you will respond to this film differently but with no less passion. For African Americans this brilliantly directed and acted film is an affirmation of everything African Americans know about Life in general and Sports more specifically as a reflection of Life. For all others the film is an intense two hour experience of the Reality of Race and Sports in America as lived.

This was a good information that you put up here... …..hope that it benefits all the ones who land up here.

Thanks for sharing!!
