Visions of 8, one of my favorite documentaries of the Games. It covers the '72 Munich Summer Games.

Unfortunately, Paris Olympics of 1924 is a sobering reminder of how far Paris has fallen in 2024.

Cool Runnings and Miracle are my favorites. I'll watch those any time they are on.

Downhill Racer with Robert Redford is one that I watch before every winter Olympics.

Race is good. Race, boys in a boat and miracle would be my top three and it’s a tie among them

I kind of liked the new one, The Boys In The Boat.

Chariots of Fire is probably my favorite.

It was Junior Olympics, but does Mighty Ducks count? 


I believe it was the Jr Goodwill Games in MD2.

Against Trinidad and Tobago (lol), and Iceland (who, to my knowledge, has never even had an NHL player).
