While a New York Yankees fan, and a Lou Gehrig and Gary Cooper fan (compare him to John Wayne and Coop is superior in every way as an actor), the film The Pride Of The Yankees has always been only mildly entertaining to me. Possibly because it's too Hollywoody, but also because it never really cores into Gehrig's character.
Also, background characters like Babe Ruth (who played himself) are mere stereotypes. Still, overall, an enjoyable film, and even I am still moved by Coop's recreation of the real Gehrig's final speech at Yankee Stadium:
