Sport Documentaries

Sport is made for film. Action, drama, speed, tension, heroic endurance - you name it, it's got it. Here, from a fascinating look at sport in Edwardian times, courtesy of Mitchell & Kenyon, to a contemporary portrait of wizard footballer, Zinedine Zidane, taking in nearly all points between, are some of the best films on sport, competitive or otherwise.
