Favorite sports movie

[BTEXDAD]

They had the thread about Sandlot which is one of my favorite sports movies of all time. There have been many movies that may be comedies with a sports theme.
I also liked Hoosiers and Rudy with the underdog coming up big.
Maybe my all time favorite though, which is "kind of" a sports movie was Caddyshack. My man, Rodney Dangerfield (may he rest in peace), stole the show.

I know i'm missing a lot of good movies. any favorites any body else has?

[BIG BLUE DEFENSIVE END]

Remember the Titans

Hoosiers for me, with the Natural close behind. but i just dont see sandlot as being a sports movie. i see it more of a nostalgic look at our youth and making lifelong friendships. but a great choice for favorite movie nonetheless.

The original one is a great movie. I haven't seen the remake.

[TheDOCTORdre]

SO many great sports movies, Hoosiers, Field of Dream, the Natural, Remember the Titans, Friday Night Lights, Rudy, these and many more classics are on the list. How can we forget about Major League and The Replacements, those are some funny sports movies. Also gotta throw in Ali, Varsity Blues and White Man Cant Jump, and definately Cool Runnings. I know some of y'all may not consider pool a sport, but The Hustler and The Color Of Money are great movies too.

Rudy

[Pmoney]

RUDY is the best sports movie ever! Field of Dreams is my #2

[AggieJohn]

i miss "angels in the outfield"

I have quite a few that I could watch over & over. I watched Hoosiers again a couple of weeks ago....great movie! :thumbsup:

One I had actually forgotten about that gets me every time is 8 Seconds. :weeping: :weeping:

A couple of good golf movies ... Kevin Costner in Tin Cup and Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore.:)

The best of all time in my book, and neither the original nor the remake ever made it to theaters. The remake was just as good.

...and one more which is right there with Hoosiers and the Natural, The Legend of Bagger Vance.

[pirate44]

i saw the Natural when it first came to theaters. my dad (a little league coach for 30 years and a baseball fanatic) took me and my 3 brothers to see the 11:00 pm showing. it was an amazing experience and one of my most memorable.

I forgot about 61*. It was good

Bull Durham, with the best line ever in a movie.


"I believe in the soul,the *** , the*** , the small of a woman’s back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good Scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are overrated self-indulgent crap, that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe that there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft core ***, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days."

Doc another movie in that category was The Cincinatti Kid with Steve McQueen, Edward G. Robertson, Ann Margaret and Karl Malden. It did for stud poker what The Hustler did for pool. I know some may not consider poker a sport but the Sports Channels sure show a lot of it.

what about Any Given Sunday? You can't beat Al Pacino's speech....greatest sports movie speech of all time.

I think I may have changed my mind...I watched Friday Night Lights, and that move gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it, and it fires me up and makes me want to put some pads on.

[Bull's-eye]

The Water Boy and the Rookie are some other good sports movies. Kevin Costner in "For Love of the Game" was another good one.
