Inspired by their examples, we will try to create for you a selection of motivators, consisting of the best films about sports.

1. Drama "Match" (2011) . The film is based on real sporting events, more precisely, on a series of football matches held in the Nazi-occupied Kiev in 1942. Then, Dynamo Kiev, which came out on the field under the name "Start" played about ten matches with the team of the German Wehrmacht. And considering who they were playing with, the 100% victory in the series was really stunning.

Matches take place against the background of Babi Yar, the concentration camp "Darnitsa", propaganda, and a pervasive feeling of despair.

But still, this is also a feature film about sports, so you can not do without a love line. Moreover, in the main role, in the role of goalkeeper Nikolai Ranevich - Sergei Bezrukov. The audience witnesses the personal drama of the great goalkeeper - beloved Anna saved him from captivity, but now they will never see again ...

2. Melodrama "Knockdown" (2005 ). Formally, a film about life, more precisely, the end of the career and hopelessness of the future professional boxer James Braddock. Injuries, without which there is not a single professional career , make a new entrance to the ring impossible.

But the Great Depression is coming, there is no work, no money. Braddock can not find even unqualified work in the port, and fate brings him back to the ring - ugly, in battle for money. Here again he is defeated, because a broken hand is the most terrible defeat, not just as for a boxer, but as for a man in a hungry and evil 30's.

However, fate, it seems, is favorable to him - Braddock is waiting for the battle for the title of world champion ...

3. Drama "The Race" (2013) . A documentary film about racing sports, based on the events of the Formula-1 season of 1976.
