THE SPORTS SHOW

Coming soon to The Trylon

In conjunction with the Minneapolis Institute of Arts' exhibition of the same name, the Trylon presents seven of the best sports films ever made. Whether on wheels, in the boxing ring, swinging a bat or hockey stick, on the gridiron or the court, movies about athletes have inspired filmgoers since the dawn of cinema. The Sports Show has it all--underdogs, lovable losers, embittered champions, the agony of defeat and the thrill of victory. Please, no heckling the big screen.

The iconic boxing movie of the 1970s, the rags-to-riches story of an underdog prize fighter, Rocky Balboa (Stallone), who seeks a shot at glory and battles for the title of heavyweight champion of the world.

RAGING BULL

The Trylon

Sat Apr 14 7:00
Sun Apr 15 4:30
(1980, 35mm, 129m) dir Martin Scorsese w/ Robert De Niro, Cathy Moriarty and Joe Pesci. The flip side to Rocky has to be Raging Bull, as brutal and unnerving an examination of the sweet science of bruising as ever witnessed on the silver screen. The true-life story of Jake La Motta (De Niro), a talented fighter whose jealousy, rage and insatiable bloodlust (in and out of the ring) sends him careening toward disaster.

THE BAD NEWS BEARS

The Trylon

Fri Apr 20 7:00
Sat Apr 21 9:00
Sun Apr 22 7:00
(1976, 35mm, 102min) dir Michael Ritchie w/ Walter Matthau, Tatum O'Neal and Vic Morrow. Ask any baseball fan to name their favorite movie about the nation's pastime, and they inevitably come back to The Bad News Bears. The story of the eponymous Little League team comprised of hopeless outcasts, coached by an alcoholic minor-leaguer, not only understands the sport perfectly, but captures the complexities of childhood like no other. A hilarious, and often melancholy, comic masterpiece.

SLAP SHOT

The Trylon

Fri Apr 20 9:00
Sat Apr 21 7:00
Sun Apr 22 5:00
(1977, 35mm, 123m) dir George Roy Hill w/ Paul Newman, Michael Ontkean and Strother Martin. Hockey fans are crazy for Slap Shot, which, like The Bad News Bears, is a foul mouthed but utterly heartfelt love letter to the sport. Newman stars as the desperate player-coach of the Charlestown Chiefs minor league hockey team, in danger of folding. With nothing left to lose, the Chiefs recruit the thuggish Hanson brothers (real life hockey players Jeff and Steve Carlson and David Hanson) with hilarious--and violent--results.

(1986, 35mm, 114m) dir David Anspaugh w/ Gene Hackman, Barbara Hershey and Dennis Hopper. You don't have to be Indiana-born to be moved by Hoosiers, an old-school picture about small town high school basketball. Hackman plays coach Norman Dale, the quick-tempered coach whose unorthodox style took the Hickory, IN team to the state championships.

Sun Apr 29 4:45
(1993, 35mm, 114m) dir David Anspaugh w/ Sean Astin, Jon Favreau and Ned Beatty.

The titular kid overcomes poverty, physical stature, dyslexia, and a host of other setbacks before achieving his penultimate dream--to play football for the Fighting Irish.
