    I will compile a list, as a lot of these films are getting repeat nominations, not that there is anything wrong with that, but there are some classics that have not been mentioned yet.

    While on the subject, but not movies, limited series about sport that is well worth checking out, and not just the ocumentary behind the scenes ones such as with Sunderland Til I Die, All or Nothing: Spurs, or The Test etc, but a couple of dramatized ones well worth checking out and highly recommend:

    Bodyline

    (Hugo Weaving, Gary Sweet et al)



    The Bronx is Burning

    (John Turturro, Oliver Platt et al)
