‘The Fighter’ has landed many accolades and Oscar buzz for Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale. It’s landing in many best ten lists of the past year. Ahwatukee.com, which covers mostly sports, occasionally talks about sports in films. ‘The Fighter’ is not only given high marks, but they call it ‘one of the best athlete bio- pics ever made. It’s quite possible other reviewers and sites are walking along the same lines. I’m not going to quote the site, it’s only a film review itself. But it got me thinking, just for fun, what are the favorite bio-pics concerning a sports athlete?
It doesn’t have to be boxing, it could be football, baseball, or any sport. But it has to be around an individual, and not a team or coach.
“Invincible” which also starred Wahlberg, is one of my favorites. What’s yours?
