1032004 1,514 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 Foxcatcher at #5 on that list? I was not a fan. Win Win by far my favorite wrestling movie. It was mentioned above, but Cinderella Man might be my favorite sports movie. Didn’t make that list at all, but Dodgeball did (I actually don’t mind Dodgeball, but c’mon)? (I guess I must be a Paul Giamatti fan) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pamela 1,334 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 Disney also had movie a while ago about a blind rock n roll kid from NYC who moves to Utah and takes up wrestling. It was a little corny but my nephew really enjoyed it at the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cary by the Lake 52 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 **** Not a movie but: How many of you have watched the old MTV show "Bully Beatdown" with Mayhem Miller? Simply amazing. Guys/Gals who love to beat up and humiliate smaller people, get challenged to go against a MMA professional for the opportunity of winning $10,000.00. All they have to do is go into the cage for 10 minutes (5 minutes grappling and 5 minutes kick boxing). The bullies are given $10,000.00 to start and lose $1,000.00 everytime they tap out during the grappling and if they quit, are knocked out or the ref has to stop the contest in the kick boxing they lose everything. It is a great show! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gantry 1,872 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 I was a little too young to go, but my brother went to Randhurst Mall in Mt. Prospect to see Mr. T and get an autograph - this must have been around Rocky III era. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iwrite 134 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 Two more movies to consider: "Jim Thorpe:All American" (1953), starring the great Burt Lancaster. It takes us through Thorpe's amazing career in the Olympics, football, track and baseball, and holds nothing back when dealing with his personal problems. Great acting. I knew his daughter, Grace, who said Jim was a very good "backyard style wrestler" who loved to grapple. "Running Brave" with Robbie Benson as Olympic 10,000-meter champion Billy Mills was also a good film. Also agree with 1032004 that "Win! Win" was a very good wrestling film. And "Secretariat" is off the charts good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
