Hockey Films

[Edmonton Oilers]

Anything good out there I have not seen?

Some great ones I enjoyed:

Documentaries:
30 for 30: Big Shot
Red Army
30 for 30: Of Miracles and Men

I don't remember if I saw Ice Guardians, or The Last Gladiators, but I saw one of the two and it was good.


Non-Documentaries
(I feel like it took me forever to find fictional hockey flicks that I enjoyed, but here are some classics)
Mysteryn Alaska
Slap Shot

Neither fiction nor documentary:
Net Worth (fav. hockey film, dramatization of Ted Lindsay's attempts to form a hockey union/association - precursor to the NHLPA)

The Rocket.

Probably one of those good movies that people kinda know, but forget. But damn, I love it.

Oh yeah. I totally did forget that one. I remember it being a strange mix to me of good and disappointing. There was a pretty cool documentary I found about Richard (I think it was also called The Rocket), and it was pretty good too. (edit: it was called that, and I'm pretty sure you can see it here: www.nfb.ca/film/rocket/ )

My problem with The Rocket is that I bought the DVD and the subtitles were basically broken on it. I forget specifically what it was, but I think because the language switches up so much, there is no one language appearing subtitles. It's a flat throughout subtitle despite half the film being in English and the other in French. Very frustrating presentation. Decent film though.
