[QUOTE="James from London, post: 403358, member: 22"] A very interesting choice. I was about to type that the first Doctor Who is in it, but then realised I've got it mixed up with [I]This Sporting Life[/I]. Both are early 60s kitchen sink dramas, and about as far from a formulaic inspirational sports movie as you can get. The three sports movies that spring immeidately to my mind are all boxing-related: [I]Body and Soul[/I] (1947 with John Garfield). the remake of [I]The Champ[/I] (about as 1979 as you can get, with Jon Voight, Faye Dunaway and Ricky Schroder) and of course [I]Raging Bull[/I]. The closest was 1992's [I]Carry On Columbus[/I], which is to the original films what the [I]Peyton Place[/I] TV movies are to the 1960s series. You turn it on thinking "How bad can it be? ... Oh, [I]this[/I] bad." HA! [/QUOTE]
