Did you really forget/leave off Faster & the doctor, the tornado, & the Kentucky kid? On this board? Shame.

 

The Ric Flair 30 for 30 is entertaining as all get up.

 

Touching the Void.
Goal! The 1966 World Cup.
Harvard Beats Yale 29-29.

 

Can we just call me after I was actually thinking of Faster when I mistakenly entered Hitting the Apex instead. I'm not even sure I remember what's in the latter. I need to check it out again.

The Michael Jordan series The Last Dance showed what a cool cold killer Jordan was.

 

That’s fair. I thought it was quite odd that apex made it and the others I mentioned didn’t. I don’t remember much about it either other than thinking it was not the best moto doc I’ve seen.

 

Shit I’m over here giving papa grief about what he missed and somehow I forgot this gem. I’m not much into older stuff and the original is at least old enough to be my dad but fuck it’s good.

while we’re at it, Dust to Glory is great and terrafirma 3 is just a personal favorite as I remember having it on vhs and watching it repeatedly as a kid.

I had considered putting the Britten documentary on there as well and originally decided against it as it’s more about the man that the bike and competition. But fuck it, it’s great and this group would enjoy it. Cant remember the exact title. Would have to go dig out the dvd if someone is genuinely interested.

 

This is one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen, w/ Alex honnolds el cap climb doc probably being 2nd place. But 14 peaks is just the intense on another level

 

Yeah 14 Peaks is nuts….. I know they came out with a BS movie about it but the documentary Last Breath is unreal….

 

I've watched 1: Life on the Limit a number of times... its from 2013, pretty good imo.

Talladega Nights

 

Step Into Liquid
100 Foot Wave (series)
Dog Town and Z-Boys
