Recommended Posts

Some may have been mentioned as parts of other threads, but does anybody want to recommend any quality sporting docs for folks to watch??

For starters - 

Hoop Dreams - Unbelievably moving film about two high school kids' attempts to be drafted to to the NBA

The Last Dance - 10 part Netflix doc about the great Chicago Bulls team of the 90s, and the GOAT Michael Jordan

Last Chance U - Follows junior college gridiron players, in their attempts to play in the NFL, or at the very least secure a good education

Bobby Robson: More than a Manager - The life & times of one of football's last true gentlemen

Sunderland Til I Die - This has been chatted about on here before, but it is excellent, and a reminder that a lot as Rams fans could be a lot worse

Gascoigne - The legend of Gazza laid bare.  Very enlightening tales

When We Were Kings - The story of The Rumble in the Jungle.

30 for 30 documentary called Survive and Advance - superb & inspiring and I'm not even a basketball fan.

All of those 30 x 30 documentaries on BT are great.. Particularly likes the Believeland one about Cleveland sport.

The F1 documentary one on Netflix is great. Follows the mid pack teams throughout the season, Haas etc.

I am not sure if they are still available but the official F1 films are great. I have the ones 1970 to 1980 inclusive. Each is about an hour long and it's interesting to watch how it developed over time. Seeing blokes in t-shirts pouring fuel into cars was quite surreal.
