Apollo 13 (1995) *
Long film about space and that. One of the actors is called Ed Harris, which brings to mind the oddball kiwi Chris Harris. Possessor of a very mediocre test record, he is none the less prolific in New Zealand cricket and more famous for his slow-medium dinky-doo inswingers in one day cricket. Oh, and he bowls off the wrong foot and out of the back of his hand too. The very reason he is effective (very effective in domestic) one-day cricket is the very same reason that he is wholly unthreatening on the test stage. 1/10 for the film.
