[QUOTE="JTA, post: 1567940, member: 6189"] Here are a few recommendations on films I liked (although they were made specifically for stations like the History Channel and ESPN): [U]The True Story of Killing Pablo[/U] - This is the story of Pablo Escobar, and the U.S. involvement in helping the Colombian government kill him. I really like the work of Mark Bowden (the author of [U]Blackhawk Down[/U]), and this film is a very good adaptation of the book he wrote on the same subject. [U]The U[/U] - This is one of ESPN's 30 for 30 series of films, and it tells the story of the University of Miami football team during the 1980's. I am no fan of the University of Miami, but this film was done by Billy Corben, and it goes along well with [U]Cocaine Cowboys[/U] to show the turmoil of the city of Miami during the 1980's. [U]The Pony Express[/U] - This is another of ESPN's 30 for 30 films, and it tells the story of Southern Methodist University's football team during the 1980's. It follows the NCAA violations, and subsequent punishment referred to as "the death penalty." This is a very timely film because of current NCAA violations (i.e. Ohio State), and illustrates what some perceive as an elite school vs. no-name school style of punishment. [/QUOTE]
