Nominated* for eleven Academy AwardsÂ(r), including Best Picture, The Pride of the Yankees is a glorious [and] inspiring (The Hollywood Reporter) sports classic. LouGehrig's boyhood dreams come true when he signs on with the New York Yankees and takes the field alongside his idol, Babe Ruth. In fact, Lou considers himself 'the luckiest man in the world until unthinkable misfortune strikes, and he must summon all his courage to face his toughest battle yet. Reader Reviews Hello, This is still a 5 star movie...the sports biopic by which all have been judged for the 60 years since it was made...nuff said. Should you get rid of your previous copy and upgrade? There isn't much here...2 to 8 minute featurettes without much meat. It almost takes as much time to read the titles of the featurettes as to watch them. The Curt Schilling a Legend on a Legend is a whopping 2 minutes. If you don't have the movie this is certainly the one to buy...if you do and you just have to have every scrap on Gehrig..then go for it. If you want to learn more ..I'd invest in the Yankeeology DVD with an hour on Lou Gehrig...its got this beat by a mile.
