  1. “show, don’t tell” is one of the best rules of film making, and like the song says, to show it all would take too long, it’s not just sports flicks, various cop / detective type films will have a montage of getting evidence, speaking to informants, pulling in favours etc, I can’t be sure because I haven’t actually watched the film for a while, but I think “7” has one, but don’t quote me on that one, oh, there is definitely a cool non sports montage in “21” where the main character is learning to count cards and beat the house in blackjack. Some tropes are conmen for a reason, in the case of montages it’s because they are great at what they do, they’re not going anywhere
