OT: Favorite sports movie

[pisgah101]

My fav 2 are Rocky and the original Karate Kid.. Those are also two of my top 5 movies of all time! I think He Got Game falls under my least favorite

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

I love Rocky, Field of Dreams, the Longest Yard, and the Sandlot.

 

[HuffyJB]

I'm not much of a baseball fan, but a lot of the best sports movies seem to fall into that genre. Bull Durham is great.

 

[hallside]

Remember The Titans, one of Denzel's best.

 

[2 skerz 3]

Hoosiers

 

[denniden]

Caddyshack

 

[MSUbluedevil]

Jerry Maguire and Rudy are up there for me, along with Remember the Titans.

[OldasdirtDevil]

I'm not a huge baseball fan, but I love 'The Natural'. It's kinda hokey, but still...

OFC

 

[skysdad]

Field of Dreams, Pride of the Yankees and Brian's Song in that order. OFC

 

[dbav]

I would tend to go with Hoosiers, The Natural or Slapshot, but I think I'm gonna have to go with the Sandlot.

I also really like Little Giants.

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

I always liked One on One w/ Robbie Benson...his bball coach was a prick...lol...and all the marbles w/ peter faulk..female wrestlers

 

[Mark Gastineau]

Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch

 

[Mark Gastineau]

All kidding aside, Hoop Dreams is one of the greatest basketball movies ever. I highly recommend it to anyone that hasn't seen it.

[Bludvls1]

Caddy shack, Tin Cup, Major League, The Sandlot, Hoosiers.

 

[Neners]

A League of Their Own.

Because there's no crying in baseball.

 

[GAAP]

Henry Steele. The mighty mite from Ault, Colorado. Classic.

 

[smashmouth5]

The Sandlot

Not sure if you would include it under sports movies, but The Wrestler is a fine movie.

 

[crazyduke3]

1. Rudy
2. Brians song (your not a man if you don't love this movie)
3. Rocky
4. Caddyshack
5. White men can't jump

Honorable mention: friday night lights

The Wrestler is an awesome film smashmouth. I typically find baseball and basketball movies to be complete trash.

 

[bluedevilfan42]

Bad News Bears and Caddyshack (even though I hate golf)

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

A couple of more oldies:
The Stratton Story (another baseball movie...but a really inspirational story)
Knute Rockne All American (Win one for the Gipper)

OFC

 

[HonkeyT]

The Natural
Brian's Song
The Longest Yard ( The Original)
Rocky 1-3
The best of Times
Rudy

Hell I could keep going but I will stop there.

 

[Wojoman]

Field of Dreams
Tin Cup
Rudy

BMX movie called "Rad". Excellent movie. Soundtrack is amazing.

 

[denniden]

I remember "Rad." Really good movie for those of us who grew up in the 80's.

 

[skysdad]

Radio was with Cuba Gooding Jr. pretty good too. OFC

 

[JCColsCane]

Hoosiers
Brian's Song (w/James Caan & Billy Dee Williams)

Humorous ones:
Major League
Caddy Shack

Go Duke!!

I've always been amazed how Chelcie Ross managed to land spots in three of the greatest sports movies of all-time: Hoosiers, Rudy, and Major League.

 

[RanDEVILman]

Friday Night Lights because many of the football scenes actually appear realistic and of course Hoosiers (minus the creepy love story with Gene Hackman and his 20 years younger girlfriend).

lol, yess! great line!

I was in Bull Durham! I was in the crowd at the games. You have to know what I was wearing to find me in the crowd shots, but it was cool to do for a day. That and an episode of Matlock in which I played the role of the back of a Janitor (they filmed an episode at the Hospital I worked at) are my claim to fame.

DI has it's own movie star! That had to be a lot of fun, Phil!
I've always wanted to be one of the zombies in The Walking Dead. Thought that would be cool...and I'd save them a bunch of money by not having to have any special make-up applied.

1.Bull Durham- far and away my favorite as well
2.Field of Dreams- What is it with Costner and baseball movies? This one is great too!
3.Rocky IV (I love the intense Cold War feel to this one)

Another Kevin Costner Baseball movie! I forgot about this one but it's great as well. I pitched at a D2 school and when Costner says "Clear the Mechanism" to shut out all the crowd noise and focus on just he and the catcher "playing catch" I love it because it takes me back to my days as a pitcher. We didn't have crowd noise other than a few obnoxious fans but just the way you really need to maintain focus while on the mound really translates well in that film. Good call Heyman!

 

[IrishDukie908]

Rudy...Major League...Sand Lot

 

[pisgah101]

Any blue chips fans? I like the sandlot a lot too as well as major league and the benchwarmers which is always good for a laugh

 

[Showenuff]

Seven Days in Utopia . If you haven't watched it, get on it.

 

[Showenuff]

Awesome.

 

[Showenuff]

Major league , Blindside, Invincible, Vision Quest , Remember the Titans and Over the Top.

Caddyshack
