Seven Inspirational Sports Movies That Would Be Worthless Without Their Scores

2. Win Win (Lyle Workman)

This one only occurred to me a few minutes ago, and I’m still sort-of-torn. I’m not really sure it’s fair to call it’s a sports movie, though I’m perfectly comfortable calling it an excellent one. And Workman’s work (Heh!) is really superb. Sets the tone perfectly.

I haven’t seen Foxcatcher yet, so I’m not sure how well its score contributes to the film’s effectiveness.It’s super-moody and atmospheric, for sure. But the film probably doesn’t quite fit the Inspirational Sports Movie theme. (How many “wrestling movie” options can there be, though, when you think about it?) http://youtu.be/Q0JQoOw9qj8
