This Sporting Life (1963) |

Adapted from David Storey's novel of the same title, this is a gritty, unblinking look at life in the coal mining region of Northern England as seen through the eyes of Frank Machin. Richard Harris gives a remarkable performance as Machin, a proud man who wants to quit his job as a miner and follow his aspirations to become a professional Rugby League player. Harris's powerful, sexually charged performance, and Anderson's edgy visual style give it a place not only among the great sports movies, but among the best of all British films.
