I've watched a number of the ESPN 30 for 30 series and most of their short films too. It was interesting, but the Great Imposter one was more so (I'm ashamed to not have known about him) as was the Tommy John and Frank Jobe one.

Of the 30 for 30 films I've seen, the best was "Once Brothers" about Divac and Petrovic. It was incredibly moving. "The Best That Never Was" was awesome too. I haven't seen "You Don't Know Bo" yet but I'm sure I'll greatly enjoy it too.

Recently I saw "The Book of Manning" and, while I'm not a fan of Peyton or Eli, I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially how it all centered around Archie who IMO is by far the most likeable.

"Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals" was another great sports doc too.

What sports documentaries have you really enjoyed and would highly recommend?

Glad to see a mention of Once Brothers. Whenever I see mention of 30 for 30 it never gets mentioned. It was a powerful and moving piece about sports and the saddest chapter in European history since the end of WW2.
