Whatever your favorite sport, there's probably a flick about it (or at the very least, one of its star athletes). The list compiled by Sundance might leave out a few gems here and there, but it definitely has that Olympic flavor.
And so, in no particular order, here's the Institute's picks for the films of the games:
- Prefontaine
- The Other Dream Team
- One Day in September
- China Heavyweight
- Kick in Iran
- T-REX
Not sure what some of those are? Never heard of T-REX? Click here to go to the Sundance Institute's page of all things gold, olympic, and motion picture.
