DOWNHILL RACER (1969)
Our Summer Games Virtual Film Festival continues with Robert Redford starring as a headstrong ski racer in this drama about what it really takes to train for the Olympics.
JIM THORPE: ALL-AMERICAN (1951)
Our Summer Games Film Festival continues with this biopic of a great Native-American athlete of the early 20th Century that doesn’t quite succeed at making any sense out of a messy human life.
ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER (1999)
A meticulous documentary that presents a lot of information I didn’t know about the darkest moment in Olympic history.

Our Virtual Film Festival continues with a movie seemingly made for me as a kid and absolutely no one else in the world.
COOL RUNNINGS (1993)
Our Summer Games Virtual Film Festival kicks off with the cool story (bro) of the 1988 Jamaican bobsled team… or a story, at any rate
CLUELESS (1995)
The most mid-90s of mid-90s movies is somehow based on a Jane Austen novel, and also somehow really good.

THE GOONIES (1985)
