Miracle: The 1980 Olympic Hockey movie. I finally saw it last night. Maybe I was their target audience, since I watched the televised games as a 15yo into pond hockey, but it really felt like the times. I don't know how a younger person would react to it. The thing did touch me. One interesting thing was that you could see the beginnings of the tragedy-a-thon that recent Olympic coverage has become in Jim Craig's story. Its almost like they've forgotten how to tell stories on tv with their over-production. It was interesting that they told the story from Herbs perspective and then addressed the question of it being about Herb or the team with the news conference scenes. It was about the team. I think.

Lake Placid must have been a tough place to run those games, the traffic there can be a PIA. If you could close off the main drag to autos somehow it would be great location.
