The Zonies - Wrestlezone Movie Awards

[JGlass]

Can't believe Cool Runnings didn't get a mention. Best Olympic movie as far as I'm concerned.

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Miracle was a better Olympic movie than Cool Runnings. I think.

 

[JGlass]

I haven't seen Miracle actually, though it does have the advantage of recreating one of the single greatest moments in sports history (unless you're a communist).

[Dave]

United is going to get screwed because the Americans have not seen it. Doesn't surprise me though.

 

[Brilliant Human Being]

It's a shame, but it's to be expected that a football film loses out on a forum predominantly filled with American posters. It was excellent though. Manly tears were shed.

 

[FitFinlay4Life]

United is going to get screwed because the Americans have not seen it. Doesn't surprise me though.

Is it not a TV movie though (BBC), I didn't think it even got a theatrical release over here?

 

[IrishCanadian25]

United is going to get screwed because the Americans have not seen it. Doesn't surprise me though.

You have until Friday to make a case for it. May I suggest you start a thread about it in the Movies section?

That's 22 nominations. We have to narrow it down to 12 for the thread to go up.

Pool/billiards/snooker isn't a sport so that's the reason I'm not voting for The Hustler. Would love to see it in the drama category, though.

 

[Lee]

Miracle was a better Olympic movie than Cool Runnings. I think.

No it wasn't.

 

[Dave]

Need to bump this.

 

[IrishCanadian25]

I'd like to get some more of the threads up today before I leave work if that's cool with you Dave.

 

[Dave]

I'm doing them all right now, brother.

United is going to get screwed because the Americans have not seen it. Doesn't surprise me though.

I think Hoop Dreams will get hosed as well despite myself and Big Sexy petitioning for it hard, as Id guess most people havent seen it because it's a documentary. I was incredibly surprised IC hadn't seen it. That's why Im pushing hard for people to give it a watch, get it on Netflix, however you can. I think the voting would drastically change.
