What are your favourite sports movies/documentaries?

Thatcher *spits* had badly politicised the South Yorkshire Old Bill during the miners strike too.

Was living in Scotland at the time of Hillsborough and watched it live on TV. At the time, first reactions were “those bloody Liverpool morons are at it again”, but slowly the real scene emerged. I remember the fans using advertising signs as stretchers and that’s when you knew it was real and very bad.
The state of Scottish grounds (never went to a game in England) were disgraceful. Penned in like sardines, crumbling terraces, and angry, angry crowds. If the tragedy of Hillsborough didn’t happen, it simply would have eventually happened somewhere else. I still get chills thinking about it.

Walking around a lot of grounds you can see how bottlenecks can happen in tiny little streets around stadiums

The whole thing was just sick

Random bump as I just stumbled across Icarus on Netflix, not even aware it won ana academy award this week.. loved it, the filmmakers struck an absolute goldmile and it was gripping I felt.

Have also just watched the 3 part 30 for 30 on the Celtics and Lakers and that was fantastic.

Also over xmas I watched the Buffalo Bills 30 for 30 and thought that was great as well.

Last nights documentary on umpire bias at Optus Stadium was pretty damn good.

I watched one recently on Arsenal's 1989 Div 1 championship that was pretty decent, to put two past Liverpool at Anfield on the final day to win the title was a pretty fair effort. Watching Ian Wright talking about David Rocastle was quite emotional as well
