[QUOTE="Werewillie Oleson, post: 403356, member: 8"] I have avoided sports films mostly for the reasons I've already mentioned. Until a few months ago when I watched Anthony Quinn's [I]Requiem For A Heavyweight[/I] (which was mentioned in one of those "forgotten gems" lists, and is indeed a terrific little movie) the last sport drama I had seen was [I]Chariots Of Fire[/I] way back in the 1980s. Now I'm intrigued by the thought that I may have missed out on some great stories that have [I]more[/I] to offer than the despicably inspirational underdog-becomes-winner genre [SIZE=3](sorry, Rocky fans).[/SIZE] [SIZE=4]The BFI website has become my main source for new discoveries therefore I'll add [I]The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner[/I] and [I]The Miracle Of Bern[/I] to the list.[/SIZE] Prime also got [I]Borg vs. McEnroe[/I], that could be fun, I suspect it's going to be in that slightly larger-than-life style that you mentioned. Nobody does it better than Mia and I just can't get enough of it. But I also consider THE COLBYS the passive-aggressive version of DYNASTY. Has anyone ever tried to revive the Carry On series in a 21st century fashion? [/QUOTE]
