The Ultimate Book of Sports Movies
Its topic is not exactly fresh, and it uses a loose definition of “sports film” Raging Bull, for example, is a great film about a boxer, but we wouldn’t call it a sports movie—yet this Running Press book is still a lot of fun. It’s loaded with entertaining side bars, tidbits, and Q&As with relevant par ties, and though we have quibbles with its Top 100 list (these guys are from Philly, which strongly in fluences their choice for the No. 1 sports flick of all time), we’d say it’s a worthy addition to your commode canon.
