303abuser best sports doc ever

I take it you’ve not seen Being Liverpool then…

303abuser

haha fuck if i could watch anything about liverpool. they’re one of my irrational hate teams.

zackster

303abuser agreed. It’s sensational.

It’s good. But no way can it ever be ranked ahead of “When We Were Kings” to my mind.

That documentary is fucking incredible. Less than 2 hours and utterly flawless. Has it aged? Not one bit; other than the silly montage in the middle. All other sports documentaries have really just ripped off their model.

I’d say it’s top 10 docs all time, sports or no sports.

jonattonyeah I’ve not seen that as I’m not bothered about boxing, but to be fair, I’m not that bothered about basketball either (loved in when I was a kid mind) and loving that Jordan thing.

not sure if i’ve seen that or not, i’ll take a look. i’m pretty sure i watched 75% of the bulls games from maybe 89-98, every playoff game for sure, so it’s cool to relive it with a different perspective.

jonattonyeah When We Were Kings is one of my favourite films. It is truly fantastic and not really about boxing, Grant. It’s a documentary about one of the most remarkable people ever.

When we were kings is awesome. Even if you’re not a boxing fan. It’s worth a watch.

Gave reckoning a go last night. Unbelievably bad. The acting is straight out of a cheesy American soap opera.

Anything new and decent on netflix seems to becoming more and more rare.

Anyone seen White Lines? Looks awful

It is fucking awful. There has never been a clubbing related film, or series that has been worth watching.

I had to get rid of the small phillipino boy when Operation Yew Tree kicked off.

Yes it is brilliant isn’t it? I’m not a basketball fan by any stretch but this has me hooked.

Do they really play 82 games in a league season? Are they playing every 3rd day or something?

303abuser

gcw i think one of the reasons its so good is that enough time has passed that everyone involved is willing to be pretty honest. and yeah, they play way too many games, one of the many reasons i haven’t followed the nba in quite a while.
