Big fan of The U parts 1 & 2.

Other than that, Pony Excess and Bad Boys.

So many to choose from.

Agreed. Also the story about Chuckie Mullins and Brad Gaines is terrific, although that may have been an "SEC Storied" and not a "30 For 30."

I can't just pick one favorite. I've liked every one I've seen so far with one exception. I didn't care for the one about pro athletes who squandered all their money. It didn't really seem to have a story behind it. Other than that, I've enjoyed them all even when it involved a sport I don't follow.

True. I loved Hillsborough for example.

I can't pick one or the other here. These two would be my choices followed by the best that never was.

There are so many great ones. Personal favorite is probably the one about Maurice Clarett.

Two Escobars, Pony Express, and Fantastic Lies are the best. I haven't watched a 30 for 30 I haven't liked though

I liked the university of Miami films. Also, UnGuarded, brought me to tears.

Never liked The Boz, but that 30/30 was entertaining. (or was that on a different channel?)

I tend to like the ones focused on a certain individual other than a team or event.

Ones that come to mind

Once Brothers
Best that Never Was
Benji
Rand University


I think its underrated on here but I really like Requiem for the Big East

Slaying the Badger. Probably the best cycling related documentary featuring some true legends of the sport from the 80's
