    You missed my shouts for Free Solo (climbing) and The Hurricane (Boxing).

    I'm hurt...

    Sorry, Free Solo should have been on there and not sure what happened there. Am pretty sure I had it but when putting things in alphabetical order may've c+p over it, is the only thing I can think of, as I do remember typing it at one point. The Hurricane however I would dispute, similiar to Basketball Diaries, Molly's Game or Waves, for instance. If you really want it included I will add it though.

    @Taz - I'll gladly trade The Hurricane for Free Solo. :50:

    @Gyp Rosetti - I thought Free Solo was mega... pretty much captured the essence of sporting obsession. Will likely feature in my Top 5.

    If it was all about the climbing fine, but listening to his girlfriend asking if he loved her every 10 minutes bored me to tears.

    I can understand why some folks would feel like that, but for me the girlfriend sub-story served to hammer home how 'different' Honnold is.

    Climbing IS his life. Everything else come second.

    Just a reminder, this evening is the deadline for NOMINATIONS.

    The list of films already nominated is on Page 5. So if there are any films missing that you want to have part od this so people can include in their rankings

    I will post the complete final list this evening, for folk to begin doing their rankings from, once that has been posted. :50:
