Any of ESPN's 30 for 30 series is a must. Absolutely super and some of the best television I've seen. They commissioned 30 films for their 30th anniversary but there are more than 30 of them now. Pretty much every one is fantastic.

Can’t beat cool runnings like

Andy Murray documentary on Amazon Prime : Resurfacing

[Carheenlea]

The Open Championship have just released free to watch the Official film from the 1984 Open at St Andrews - fantastic viewing for golf fans at least.

By chance I watched "Icarus" from that list on Netflix last night. Fantastic and allows you to benchmark Putin.

Some of the BT Sports film series are excellent. My favourite is I Believe in Miracles about the rise of Clough’s Forest side. Too Good to Go Down about Man U’s relegation and subsequent resurrection is also very good.

[Del Boy]

The bt one on the Bradford city fire is a very interesting but incredibly sad watch

Too Good to Go Down about Man U’s relegation and subsequent resurrection is also very good.I Believe In Miracles is a superb shout. I love reading about and watching docs on Clough and Taylor..phenomenal achievements with both Forest and previously Derby.

Free Solo on Disney + is good, watching that at the moment.

[660]

All the official world cup documentaries are on amazon prime video.

[Fisherrow Harp]

Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez is pretty decent.

[Gloucester Hibs]

All the official world cup documentaries are on amazon prime video.

The 1982 and 1986 ones are quality - narrated by Sean Connery and Michael Caine respectively.

Where can you view them? Always wanted to watch the John Daly one.

[Gloucester Hibs]

Sure it was BT Sport I watched a few good sports documentaries one was about the legendary Sugar Ray Robinson, and another about the Chicago Cubs’ Steve Bartman incident. No idea if they’re still available, the Cubs one is probably less relevant now since they won the World Series.

[-Jonesy-]

Mighty ducks is decent too

[Sweet Left Peg]

Free Solo on Disney + is good, watching that at the moment.

If you liked this one then watch The Dawn Wall.

[Chip shop Joe]

I am not a huge rugby fan but the Lions tours official films are a really good watch.

BT Sport sometimes run them. There used to be a few on the BT on demand player if you have BT Sport. If not you might find a few online... Even the ones I didn't fancy hook you in.

OJ: Made in America is one of the best pieces of documentary filmmaking Ive seen.

BT sport one on Ian Wright and David Rocastle was good

[CMurdoch]

Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez is pretty decent.

Yeah, watched that last week.
A vast can of worms and issues!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

It's so ridiculous but, I never tire of watching Escape to Victory, escapism at it's best! 👏

[edinburghhibee]

BT Sport did a documentary on youth players and how cut throat the game is. No hunger in paradise I think it was called.

I thought I was fantastic.

'Pelé: Birth of a Legend'Well worth a watch.

"Maradona" was pretty interesting but "Time for Heroes" does it for me.

[Aldoo]

Look out the Bartman, Chicago cubs baseball and the OJ Simpson 30 for 30 docs Both fascinating.

Not seen it but my son did - said it was pretty good - title a bit deceiving - but descended a bit into a period drama for the last couple of episodes. Overall, he thought it was worth seeing.

[CMurdoch]

Stewart Cosgrove and I both enjoyed it although it is not without it's flaws. What it does do well is give you a good feel for how football was in those early years.
*It is a period drama with a football backstory so your wife or/and girlfriend could watch and enjoy it with you.

[Bristolhibby]

What a film!

Moneyball is worth a watch. About Analytics in Baseball.

If you like American Football the Hard Knocks series are always good.

[Dalianwanda]

I was just about to say just sat through the first episode of this. Only highlight was the Hibs. mention, load of predictable rubbish.

[LancashireHibby]

The English Game is very much Downton Abbey with a footballing back story. Enjoyed it all the same.

Glad this thread has pointed the way to finding The Impossible Job on YouTube. No doubt it will send me down a Mike Bassett rabbit hole and then One Night in Turin.

Watched The Keeper at the cinema (at St Helens Cineworld, ironically enough given Trautmann’s first club) and quite enjoyed it if anyone has Sky Movies.

[Mibbes Aye]

North Dallas Forty is a brilliant (fictional) film from the end of the 1970s, set in the NFL. Think it might be available on Netflix and/or Amazon Prime.

[0762]

Just watched this excellent documentary on Brian Clough. Well worth a viewing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaobwxJuAOs

[dmc1875]

American Football wise - The All or Nothing series is unreal with its insight into the ins and outs of a billion dollar industry. Each season follows a team that the producers clearly believe are playoff/Super Bowl bound and it just doesn’t work out that way. Second season the coach gets fired on screen. There’s 5 series or 6 now but it spawned the Man City and all blacks ones. First couple seasons are very good watch

On amazon prime

[Captain Trips]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTiIdbDBmZc

A great watch on the night I think Clough got sacked from Leeds.

[Pretty Boy]

From Netflix the Bobby Robson documentary is worth a watch football wise. I'm not sure if it is still on but the Barkley Marathons:The Race That Eats it's Young is a great watch if you enjoy watching people push themselves to the absolute extremes. The Dawn Wall is another good climbing doc for those that enjoyed Free Solo.

I recommend the COPA90 channel on YouTube. Some great stuff on football clubs around the world, the culture of the cities, derbies, and fan groups. Can get a little samey but I’m enjoying what they offer.

Any Given Sunday - gridiron

The Damned United - football

Hearts are doing a fly on the wall documentary - should be a cracker ;)

[Kato]

That looks like a very interesting film.Its great, they had a unique coach when they were all kids. The way he brought out the best in them is what stuck with me. The arc from when they first appeared as a squad to individual players going on to play professional in the states is some story too.

I was tempted to mention Any Given Sunday in my previous post.

It is an utter Hollywood movie but superbly entertaining and sort of builds on the themes from North Dallas Forty.

I think gridiron maybe just makes good movies.

If only Hearts would release theirs now. Would be an absolute diamond for lockdown

Senna is a brilliant documentary, even if you're not into motorsport. Directed by the same guy as the recent Maradona documentary.

[Brunswickbill]

Not a football movie but Hibs related. "Scot Squad - the Chief does Edinburgh" on BBC Scotland has 3 10 minute shorts on History Literature and Geography. Worth a watch. Police Chief Cameron Miekelson (Jack Docherty) chats to various people and visits places in Edinburgh. In the Literature episode he visits the Heart of Midlothian mosaic of setts up the High Street. He explains that the tradition is to spit on it to give you good luck especially if spit right in the middle. He says, "Of course it gives you particualr satisfaction to know that you are spitting on the name of Edinburgh's second and potentially third football team, Heart of Midlothian." Then he lets a big gobber go. I've always liked him but he's gone up in my estimation.

Got to be Mike Basset England Manager - genuine laugh out loud Especially the dressing room rant - Pele's even in it

There’s (or was a while back) a fascinating interview by Hugh McIlvaney with Stephen Roche on YouTube.

It was shortly after he had won the Giro, Tour de France and World Championship in the same year (87 or 88?). Although the Tour stories are interesting it’s the tales of how his own team tried to prevent him win the Giro that make this a good watch.

[Greenbeard]

No horse racing suggestions yet. Forget the overly soppy Champions about Bob Champion and Aldaniti winning the Nash.
Instead try Murphy's Choice which is free to watch on You Tube. Only 1.11 long and quality not brilliant but a VG re-enactment of the Gay Future betting coup.
Pierce Brosnan is in it as the trainer!

Anything with Hugh is excellent. If anyone hasn't listened the McIlvanney conversations with Geoff Webster are fantastic. Covers all different sports including the iconic Scottish managers, great players. His boxing memories and also horse racing. It is truly hypnotic when he reads some of his articles from the past.

Soccertown USA on youtube.

The story of how the success of modern US soccer, the rapid growth if the MLS and the general acceptance of the sport into the Amarican mainstream hinged on the success of the US national team in the early to mid 90s.

This was a side built and inspired by the historically Scottish community of just one small town in the shadow of the Manhattan skyscrapers, Kearny New Jersey.

Kearny is a rough and tough place. Its basically like Airdrie or Greenock transported to America, a great wee watch.

BT sport one on Ian Wright and David Rocastle was good

Was superb. Rocastle was a fantastic player whose career was curtailed by injury. An amazing documentary and shows wright to be a decent guy. Another id recommend is hunt v Laura documentary. Fabulous insight into two amazing characters who genuinely liked each other. Hunt the amazing playboy out partying in Canada before winning the Canadian Grand Prix and Lauda who won two more world championships after second degree burns and moments from death. Amazing mental strength. Must watch.

Absolutely tremendous. One of the best TV documentaries ever. So much more than a sports story though.

Staying with US sport, Hoop Dreams is a great story, following two budding basketball talents over the course of five years.
And the new Netflix series Last Dance is off to a strong start.

completely agree, really enjoying this. Michael Jordan was/is one of my sporting heroes, it’s fascinating learning about what was going on behind the scenes at a time when access to American sports was very limited, and knowledge of off-field happenings was much more restricted, whilst remembering watching some of those games and marvelling at Jordan’s and his teammates abilities.

Im not the biggest bball fan but i grew up watching those Bulls games in the 80s, some of those Jordan vs Pistons games...amazing.

Its interesting that Basketball has provided us with some great movies and documentaries (Hoop Dreams is still the best sports doc of all time in my opinion) and this really adds to the pantheon.

A couple of mentions for 'I Believe In Miracles' earlier.

Of a certain era certainly but boy, was it a ride at the time and I'm pleased to say I was there. Nottingham Forest reminded the world how to play the game in the way it should be played, with great skill, panache, entertainment and not least, honour.

I recall Irvine Welsh said this film was the best one about football he'd ever seen. Watch it here like I've just done (again) for absolutely nothing:

Senna is a brilliant documentary, even if you're not into motorsport. Directed by the same guy as the recent Maradona documentary.

For those who haven’t seen it it is on itv4 on Thursday night at 10.45. Before that on the same channel is the 91 epl season, the last before the premier league was set up. That’s at 8 o’clock. Cracking evening.

[Hibby_Huddy]

ESPN's 30 for 30 series is brilliant. Particularly recommended 'Once Brothers' about 2 basketball players torn apart by the yugoslav civil war and 'Of Miracles and Men' about the USSR ice hockey team that lost to the USA in the winter Olympics.

Most of these are repeated on a regular basis on BT sport, especially now that there is no sport...
