One of my other interests in life besides sports are watching old movies(Thank goodness for TCM). I thought about some sports films that I have seen which are worth mentioning.
1. "Jim Thorpe-All American" with Burt Lancaster
2. "The Babe Ruth Story" with William Bendix( I haven't seen this on TV in years)
3. Ronald Reagan played Grover Cleveland Alexander in a film which title escapes me
4. "Pride of The Yankees" with Gary Cooper(THIS IS MY FAVORITE SPORTS MOVIE OF ALL TIME)
5. Sidney Poitier in a movie about the Harlem Globetrotters which I believe is called "The Red Ball Express"
6. Dan Dailey played Dizzy Dean in a film which title I can't remember(Guess its time to pull out the ol' Leonard Maltin
movie book)
These are just a few which stood out. Next time I will talk about more modern sports movies.
