Both Scorsese and PTA were inspired by the tracking shots in I Am Cuba (a masterpiece of a film).

You've never seen them, but they are sports movies just about sports?

Speaking of baseball movies, I have Bang the Drum Slowly on dvr (along with 20 other movies I don't have time to watch). Is it worth a look?

Just speaking for myself, I thought it was extremely mediocre.

I've never seen anything that gave me the opposite impression.

And I agree that Bang the Drum Slowly is mediocre.

I know we've discussed this before, but it's worth repeating. The unedited version (not tv) of Bad News Bears is the greatest sports movie of all time.
