2. Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows

Wrestling With Shadows follows Bret Hart€™s final months with WWE leading up the infamous Montreal Screwjob at SummerSlam 97. For this reason alone, it is arguably one of the most important documentaries about professional wrestling ever made.Director Paul Jay examines Hart€™s contract negotiations with WCW and WWF, including Vince McMahon€™s termination of his twenty-year deal with the Canadian superstar which eventually led to Hart€™s departure. The film also calls attention to the Hart wrestling dynasty, which included his brother Owen, brothers-in-law Davey Boy Smith and Jim Neidhart and father Stu. Wrestling With Shadows is unquestionably one of the greatest documentaries of all time €“ and I€™m not just talking about wrestling. In an interview with the WrestleTalk TV, Bret Hart even admitted that he still watches it every time he gets a call from Vince McMahon asking him to return to WWE. If you€™re a fan of Bret Hart €“ and if you€™re a fan of WWE €“ you need to watch Wrestling with Shadows.
