#4 - Rush
There's been a rise of films in recent years which focus on sporting rivalries, with Ron Howard's Rush perhaps being the best of the lot. The film primarily focusses on the battles for the driver's championship in 1976, arguably the greatest season of Formula 1 ever. The two protagonists are polar opposites, Hunt was a womanizing playboy who was in racing for a good time, while Lauda was a methodical straight-shooter, who was after one thing and one thing only, to be world champion.
Despite the differences in approach, both achieved outstanding success in the sport. A mention has to go to both Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl as well, as the pair produced fine acting performances, if you shut your eyes and listen, you could swear it was actually the drivers they were playing who were talking.
Yes, dramatic licence is taken in the plot of the film, which may detract from the experience for a hardcore fan, but all movies that aren't documentaries do this. What makes the film so gripping and entertaining is the way in which it's edited and the story of Lauda's recovery, which is probably the greatest sporting comeback of all-time. Tiger Woods' recent Masters win doesn't hold a candle to it.
