Billy Joel - The Last Play at Shea
Paul Crowder, Jon Small
Alec Baldwin, Tony Bennett
In 1964, when the New York Mets were regarded as little more than a punch line in major league baseball, the team moved into a brand new ballpark, Shea Stadium, which was to become their home for the next forty-four years. Shea Stadium was closed (in part to create more parking space for a new stadium, Citi Field), and on July 16 and 18, 2008, Billy Joel headlined the final concerts held at the stadium. Filmmaker Paul Crowder and a camera crew were on hand for Joel's shows, and the documentary THE LAST PLAY AT SHEA chronicles his historic two-night stand, as well as exploring Joel's career, his ties to working-class New York, and how his life and career paralleled the growth of suburban Long Island and the beloved ballpark.

Документальный фильм, который показывает очарование, скорость, опасность и волнение гонок гран-при Формулы 1. Фильм показывает историю Золотого века Формулы 1, когда спорт был ужасающе опасным. В конце 1960-х, на болидах Формулы 1 удвоился объем двигателя и выросли крылья, что сделало их не только невероятно быстрыми, но и еще более опасными. С приходом больших денег от спонсоров и новой международной телевизионной аудиторией, родились звёздные пилоты, брошенные как гладиаторы на ринг. Фильм следует за историей гонщиков, которые боролись на грани, и тех, кто восстал, чтобы изменить спорт навсегда.

Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos
John Dower, Paul Crowder
Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer
In the 1970s the North American Soccer League marked the first attempt to introduce soccer to American sports fans. While most teams had only limited success at best, one managed to break through to genuine mainstream popularity - the New York Cosmos. The brainchild of Steve Ross (Major executive at Warner Communications) and the Ertegun brothers (Founders of Atlantic Records), the Cosmos got off to a rocky start in 1971, but things changed in 1975 when the world's most celebrated soccer star, the Brazilian champion Pele, signed with the Cosmos for a five-million-dollar payday. With the arrival of Pele, the Cosmos became a hit and the players became the toast of the town, earning their own private table at Studio 54. A number of other international soccer stars were soon lured to the Cosmos, including Franz Beckenbauer, Rodney Marsh, and Carlos Alberto, but with the turn of the decade, the team began losing favor with fans and folded in 1985.
