Själen är större än världen (1985)
Inspiring
I had seen this film at John Powell's throwing camp in 1998 and almost had a sleepless night thinking about how the film inspired me to want to try to beat the world record in discus and, overall, think about my life. It is more than just a film about Ricky Bruch training for the 1984 Olympics, but instead is a very philosophical film. The middle of the film with John Powell is something I could watch over and over again. The film is a bit grainy with it's English subtitles(spoken in Swedish), but the story is intriguing and the simple but effective background music is also very enchanting. A rare but worthwhile film overall, and a well-needed one for the often ignored track athlete in the world of sports movies.
'Gator Bait (1973)
Unwatchable
**SPOILER ALERT** I had rented this film hoping to see a good "B" film, but I never finished watching it. I was bored within a few minutes, and couldn't stop fidgeting over the film's lack of progress. I had to shake my head in disgust and turn it off when the rednecks tried to rape the younger sister, and then shot her in the stomach with a shotgun and seeing the blood come out of her mouth. I had had enough.
