30 for 30

If you haven't heard yet, ESPN has been airing a plethora of sports-themed movies in a series they are calling 30 for 30.  I first came across the show about three months ago, watching a film about Reggie called, Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks.  The film was great, looking at Miller's interaction with Knicks fans and the City of New York in the spring of 1994 and 1995.  The series is the brainchild of ESPN.com columnist Bill Simmons, whose idea was to have well-known directors develop short films about significant sporting events from the past 30 years. Hollywood was quick to get involved, and the line-up now features movies from such prominent directors as Barry Levinson (Rain Man), John Singleton (Boys n' the Hood), and Ron Shelton (Bull Durham).  I decided I would be sure to watch more of these movies and I'd keep my eyes open for more 30 for 30.  Of course, I didn't come across one for quite some time, as the show doesn't have a regularly scheduled broadcast here in Canada.  And while modern technology like PVR's and on screen schedules make it as easy as pie to find, I am quite lazy so I didn't set anything up to record.
