Wrestling movie

Post by Eaglealum »

The story of nut ball John DuPont and the shooting at fox catchers is coming out in January in a movie called "Foxcatcher" . Pretty good cast, if you type Foxcatcher into YouTube and you can see the trailer

Win Win was pretty good. The boy (Alex Shaffer) who played the main character on that movie was actually a great wrestler in H.S. winning the NJ state championship his sophomore year. I think he quit wrestling, moved to California to focus on a movie career. I could be wrong about that though. For anyone that hasn't seen it, Takedowns and Falls is a great documentary about the Central Dauphin wrestling program. For anyone interested...here's a link to watch it free. It's worth a look. http://www.hulu.com/watch/369232

Years ago, I watched a documentary about Grundy wrestling...a school in southern Virginia hit hard by depression and the wrestling team was the towns biggest pride winning state numerous times. I wished I could find it because it was a great watch. The only thing I can find now is a movie trailer but from what I can gather, the movie hasn't been released yet. The documentary I watched about Grundy was very good but can't seem to find it now. Heck, it may have been something I saw on Television or something. Been so long I can't remember now..

Another one worth a looksee is the movie The Streak. I'm sure you all heard of Brandon H.S. out of Florida. They went something like 35 years without losing a dual meet. I watched it somewhere online for free but can't remember where..
