If you love the Olympics, but can do without the bloviating announcers, maybe you'd rather watch a great sports movie. Here's a starter for a favorite sports films list:
Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 -- documentary about the epic 1968 Harvard-Yale football game; title says it all |

Just watched Remember the Titans and Miracle within same week. They have key Disney elements to them though - the way they make tackles and goalie saves is way too dramatic. Doesn't actually happen in real life.
Same scene with driven coach with whistle pushing kids beyond the brink during drills which pulls team together, makes them stronger, blah, blah, blah. I still loved them even if they were Disneyfied |
