This isn't a film club list, it's what's queued up on the DVR between innings. Half of these I've rewatched more than the actual World Series highlights. If it's got a Boston accent, a bloody sock, or a guy crying about 1986, it's probably on here. No ranking, because ranking Red Sox heartbreak is a fool's errand.
