 | Rowing Through
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $4.23 Not good. Bad acting, dull plot. Best line: "It's not a race, Tiff!" uttered by the cute coxswain during an intimate moment. Worth watching only for the rowing. Based (very loosely) on "The Amateurs" by David Halberstam.

 | Miracle at Oxford
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $2.85 Not great but an interesting story and good racing scenes.
|
 | The Skulls (Collector's Edition)
Buy used from: $0.44 Worth watching only to laugh at the rowing. The 180 lb coxswain! The competing boats are actual Yale and Harvard crews trying to look like they're rowing hard. And be sure to fast forward to see the dramatic row to the secluded island for the final battle in an Aero!!
|
 | The Boy in Blue
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.88 Tells the story of the invention of the sliding seat in the era when rowing was second only to horse racing. Not bad and it helps that Nicholas Cage was at his peak hotness.
|
 | Oxford Blues
Buy used from: $2.49 Sadly, not available on DVD. Been a while since I've seen it, despite being set at Oxford, the finale is a singles race.
|
 | Daddy Who?
Buy used from: $1.80 The ultimate in rowing cheese. The coxswain sleeps with all the guys in the four and then doesn't know who the father is! Sean Astin (hobbit) plays the world's shortest stroke seat.
|
 | A Hero for Daisy (private in-home use version)
Buy new: $34.95 An excellent documentary about the evolution of Title IX and the story of the women's Yale crew. Good stuff.
|
 | Sliding Doors
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.30 Not a rowing movie but John Hannah (Gwyneth's love interest) is on a rowing team. Makes a good movie to play at girl's crew gatherings.
