Rebels of Oakland: The A's, The Raiders, The '70s (2003)
"As soon as you hear the title to this new one, you know exactly what it's about and why it's likely to be good, especially if you were a sports fan growing up in the 1970s. Even to good boys all the way across the country in New Hampshire, the authority-flouting baseball A's and football Raiders were magical. Not only did they win championships, they did it amid clubhouse brawls, feuds with an owner and a general embrace of the 1960s aesthetic. Filmmakers Rick Bernstein and Ross Greenburg tell the stories of these turbulent, talented teams and show how they perfectly fit their city. Oakland was blue collar and home to hardcore hard-core 1960s rebellion, exemplified by the Black Panthers. Oakland, especially, was not San Francisco, the effete, world-class city across the bay."

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
As Good As It Gets
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
