   The following list of books are ones that I do not currently own, but that are on my "wish list" of books.  All are highly recommended by readers at Amazon.   

Pumping Iron (1976)

   This documentary featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger basically began his successful acting career (but see Hercules in New York below).  Note, this is a prerelease DVD item that will not ship until Nov. 2003.

Hercules in New York (1970)-DVD

   Reportedly a cult classic, so bad that it's good!  I have not seen it, buy at your own risk!

Invincible DVD

Story of Zishe "Siegfried" Breitbart.  This may be the first movie based on a true Strongman (Breitbart).  I've yet to see it myself, but I've heard that it is not an accurate depiction of Breitbart's life.  It actually takes place after Breitbart's death! There may be more interest in this movie as it is from the same director as "Aguirre" below.

Aguirre-The Wrath of God- DVD

I saw this movie while in college and for over 20 years now I have been trying to remember the name!  This movie is also unlikely to show up on TV so I never did happen upon it again.  While browsing for "Invincible" above, which is from the same director, I stumbled upon Aguirre.  

Visually, this is a stunning move, and very graphic.  I remember one scene in particular, yet I saw the movie only once 20 years ago.  See the Amazon reviews for more detail.
