The Best Sport Movies

I love sports movies despite anticipating how they end.

The Karate Kid - awesome ! Wax in wax out, The moment of truth.
The Mighty Ducks - superb !

The Hoosiers (1986 Best Shot) My all time Favorite sport movie. I remember watching the movie in a packed house.Everybody was standing and shouting during the last few seconds of the game este the movie. I felt like watching an actual basketball game.

Last few years there were a couple notable sports movies like the "Goal", which despite having a typical sport movie theme, it was nice.

The " Perfect Catch" ( Fever Pitch) which chronicles the Boston Red Socks failure to win the World Series since 1918 ( "Curse of the Bambino") and finally winning it in 2004.
Okey its a romantic comedy ( Drew Barrymore) hehehe...

Last Sunday race at Interlagos was a movie writers dream.

Ferrari last won the both championships in 2004 with Shumi.
The last three years have been a struggle.

With two races left, I wanted Alonso to take the championship because I don't want Hamilton to win it on his rookie year. That will be an insult to Rubens, Fisi, and David.

Kimi was down 7 points, needs a victory in Sao Paulo and
leave the rest to everybody to decide it.

My hope ran hight during the 1st lap, who would have thought Hamilton would be 8th, and then was it 18th?

For the whole race I was hopping and gasping for air.

Kimi finishes the race at P1.
I was so happy Hamliton was just behind Kimi & Massa as they crossed the flag,
he was a full lap down. From his cockpit, his championship snatched with in his full view.

Then the long wait. Alsonso finished almost a minute down.

For a few minutes, even if Kimi won the race, there were still chances that he wont win it.
What if Fernando slowed down and gave Lewis a position?
Its called teamwork, but McClaren don't know the word team work.

Then finally from the Pit radio ;

" It's all over Mate! It's all over! from my calculations we won the championship by a point!"
(quote might need correction)

Finally Kimi wins it !

Viva Ferrari !!!!
