Wrestling movie
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

Re: Wrestling movie
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/369232Manfred wrote:Also "Win, Win", and "Visionquest".
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..

Re: Wrestling movie
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..
