The development of the England Rugby Team uptoandthe winning of the World cumin 2003
Building Jerusalem brilliantly combines match action with extraordinary interviews with the key players including Jonny Wilkinson, Clive Woodward, Martin Johnson and Matt Dawson, with never-before-seen behind the scenes and match footage.
It is an amazing story of pressure, expectation and courage, tracing the roots of success back to the professionalisation of the game in the 90s, culminating in that glorious World Cup campaign of 2003.
The attention to detail was unbelievable - from training the eyes...to changing shirts at halftime!!! learning Afrikaans so they knew exactly what the Springbox were going to do
The stories are transferable from sport to sport and to business and every day life about this attention to detail and preparation and to quote Clive Woodward the England Coach
‘Managing a rugby team is a lot like running a small business,’ says former England boss Sir Clive Woodward, just one example
An amazing fact about the then England set up was on his first day as England Coach was told did not have an office at the HQ becuase no-one has ever needed one!!!
This all-time classic is a must see film at Christmas - smiles
After their army days Bob Wallace (Bing Crosby) and Phil Davis (Danny Kaye) join sister act Betty (Rosemary Clooney) and Judy Haynes (Vera-Ellen) to perform a Christmas show in Vermont.
There, they run into Gen. Waverly (Dean Jagger), Bob and Phil's commander in World War II, who, they learn, is having financial difficulties; his quaint country inn is failing. So the fab four plan a yuletide miracle!!!
Based on a true story...
During 1999, Ken Carter (Samuel L. Jackson) returns to his old high school in Richmond, California, to get the basketball team into shape and winning ways.
With tough rules and academic discipline, he slowly succeeds in setting the players on a winning streak.
However when their grades start to suffer, Carter locks them out of the gym and shuts down their championship season. He is criticised by the players and their parents, he sticks to his guns, determined that they excel in class as well as on the court.
This is an amazing inspirational film..
