What are your favorite sports movie's?


I like Remember the titans

[calgaryred]

MVP......maybe love & basketball





no really I guess my favorite would be either Eight Men Out or Major League
Remember The Titans and Slap Shot are also other great movies as well

[JiriHrdina]

Does Karate Kid Count?

[Flickered Flame]

Remember the titans. Mighty Ducks!

[VANFLAMESFAN]

Any Given Sunday in a heartbeat

Slapshot.

ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

That is the only correct answer.

Am I the only one that finds myself quoting that movie all the time?

That man traveled 15 hours by bus to say that? - I find myself quoting that after a poor lecture from a professor for some reason.

Tim McCracken: Dunlop, you suck ####.
Reggie Dunlop: All I can get.

McGrath: Are you crazy? We could all end up in the clinker for this. You can't put a bounty on a man's head.
Reggie Dunlop: I just did.

Johnny Upton: What did the old man trade for these ***holes, a used puck bag?

Ned Braden: What are you doing?
Jeff Hanson: Puttin' on the foil!
Steve Hanson: Every game!
Jack Hanson: Want some?

As of this moment, Slapshot, but I really, really wanna see Coach Carter next week, even though I hate basketball, but I like Samuel L. Jackson's acting... :yes:

[Ro]

Slapshot, Requiem For A Heavyweight, Bull Durham, Remember The Titans were all good. Need to rent Friday Night Lights, heard it was good as well.

Good link - SI's Best Sports Movies of All-Time

Edit to add that I hated "Rocky." I understand that the result of the climactic bout at the end isn't what is ultimately important and redeeming about the character and the film itself, but come on. He gets his ass whooped... :P

Slap Shot for sure.

Happy Gilmore gets second place.

[Regulator75]

Does Dodgeball count as a sport?

[Heaton]

Miracle, one of the, if not the best, sport story ever. Followed by all of the great baseball movies, Field of Dreams, The Natural ect.. The Junction Boys is also top 10 all time, possibly top 5.

[evman150]

Definitely Hoosiers. Slapshot is a solid second though.

[The Goon]

Rocky
Chariots of Fire
The Rookie

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

The Rookie

:/

Is that the one with the 8 year old major league player that got a good arm then lost it, and threw up a floater to win the world series.

I think thats the one based on a true story, with...Dennis Quaid?...plays a 38 year old guy who lives him dream to pitch in the bigs? I dunno, I could be wrong but I think that is the Rookie.

haha. no that is rookie of the year. The rookie stars Dennis Quaid and it is a damn good movie.

Some sports movies I enjoy in no particular order:

slapshot, youngblood, major league, remember the titans, rocky, eight men out, any given sunday, the program, bull durham, miracle, rudy, hoosiers,varsity blues

there is probably about twenty more good ones i can't think of off the topof my head. The sports genre has produced as many entertaining movies as any other genre when I think about it.

side note: I can't stand any of the rocky sequels. The fights are like Gatti vs Ward times 100. If any fight that intense went past five rounds the boxers would either be too tired to throw another punch or dead from exhaustion and brain damage. Never mind that Rocky has bouts like these every other fight.
