Reed College’s commitment to physical education extends into the film library, where we have a comprehensive collection of movies in the sporting genre. In addition to the classics, we have developed an eclectic array through courses in Anthropology, Humanities, English and foreign languages. An interesting cinematic facet about the genre – the less popular sports often make for the best movies. In fact, NFL football, easily the most watched sporting event in America, gives us very few good films, while the waning sport of boxing continues to produce films of critical success. The following list, brought to you by the annotation team of Holmes, Morefield, Silverstein, and Tovey (’97), is but a small sampling of our vast collection. As always, if you don’t see your favorite and wish to correct this injustice, send an email to Jim Holmes along with a brief annotation. AND – if you’re a softball ringer, consider playing for team IMC at Renn Fayre! AND – if sports interest you academically (particularly annotations #8-13) consider taking Paul Silverstein’s Anthropology 324 course, Sport and Society.
