There have been several movies made about the Miracle on Ice, but my favorite one was with Kurt Russell starring as Coach Herb Brooks. Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. If you want to experience a bit of what we felt, I recommend you rent it.

In 1980, the Soviets were beating the Americans at just about everything. It was nice to see our side win for once.

The best part about that movie was that they made extraordinary efforts to re-create the events of 1980 as closely as possible. Most of the hockey players who played the roles in that movie were cast in their roles because they looked like the players, and had similar accents. And they did a great job of going back to the films of the 1980 games and re-creating exact plays, positioning of players, etc.
