March 8, 20241 yr Give me your top five sports movies of all time, whether drama, comedy, etc. 1. Bull Durham 2. Hoosiers 3. Rocky 4. Field of Dreams 5. Major League The No. 5 spot has others that I could easily substitute. But Major League is such a great movie that I've been quoting since I saw it in the theater as a teenager. And Bob Uecker was like the rug that tied that movie together. [I wanted a separate discussion apart from the Rudy love/hate on other thread.]
March 8, 20241 yr 1. Miracle 2. Slap Shot 3. Bull Durham 4. Ford vs Ferrari 5. Bad News Bears (original) No particular order.

March 8, 20241 yr A very disturbing lack of Slap Shot representation on these lists. Y'all motherfuckers need Jesus. (Yes, I am dying on this hill.)
March 8, 20241 yr They're probably not old enough to watch it yet... 1. Hoosiers 2. Miracle 3. The Natural( sorry, I've just always liked it.) 4. Rocky 5. Major League Honorable mention: Slap Shot, Brian's Song, Ford Vs Ferrari, Remember the Titans, Days of Thunder, Bull Durham, Varsity Blues Edited March 8, 20241 yr by slorch
March 8, 20241 yr Raging Bull Rocky Moneyball Major League Kingpin Honorable Mention Because the are not directly about "Sports": Color of Money Caddy Shack Big Lebowski
March 8, 20241 yr Varies by mood and if I'm into a sports movie for sports, a documentary or a "sports-tinged" storyline. 1) Any 2005 National Championship documentary, seen or unseen, and any clips or gifs from said season. 2) Field of Dreams 3) Rocky 4) The Wrestler 5) Miracle Some of the movies y'all list are about as "sports" related as The Godfather Part 2, there's some fishing in there.
March 8, 20241 yr I vote Die Hard as #1. It's as much a sports movie as it is a Christmas movie because they had Notre Dame vs. USC on TV in it.
March 8, 20241 yr 1. Major League 2. Karate Kid 3. Sandlot 4. White Men Can’t Jump 5. A League of Their Own Rocky and Rudy probably could be in there too

March 8, 20241 yr Not in a true ranked order but all ones I'll watch anytime: 1. Bad News Bears (original) 2. Major League and Bull Durham 3. Breaking Away 4. Slap Shot 5. Moneyball Also hard to leave off: Hoosiers, The Sandlot, The Replacements, A League of Their Own, Rocky, Ford vs. Ferrari (finally saw this and loved it), Bend It Like Beckham, Chariots of Fire, McFarland USA, Cinderella Man. I may have gone a little overboard cause I can think of a lot I really like.
March 8, 20241 yr Slap Shot Major League Tin Cup Gymkata Aggy "The 100-Year Decision: Texas A&M and the SEC" movie

March 8, 20241 yr 1. Field of Dreams 2. Bull Durham 3. Slap Shot 4. Miracle 5. League of the Own BTW, no other sports movie has even come close to how well they shot the game action in Miracle.

Btw, don’t read that piece of shit book
March 8, 20241 yr Hoop Dreams. Eight Men Out. Friday Night Lights. Raging Bull. Miracle. No particular order. There’s a lot of good ones to consider.

March 9, 20241 yr 1. Rocky 2. Miracle 3. The Sandlot 4. The Love of the Game 5. Goon "If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this time. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world" makes me want to run through a brick wall. Edited March 9, 20241 yr by WelfareBuysMyWeed
March 9, 20241 yr 1. Field of Dreams 2. Moneyball 3. Hoosiers 4. Rocky 5. Caddyshack By my criteria it has to be primarily a sports movie to qualify. Big Lebowski and Talledega Nights and others don’t count. Those are comedies primarily, sports secondary. This list is perfection. I just violated my own rule Edited March 9, 20241 yr by Dbeasy

March 9, 20241 yr NPO The Program League of their own Rocky IV Bull Durham Rudy Guilty pleasure: Summer Catch
March 9, 20241 yr A very disturbing lack of Slap Shot representation on these lists. Y'all motherfuckers need Jesus. (Yes, I am dying on this hill.)I agree with this and I stupidly forgot about it for some reason.
March 9, 20241 yr Raging Bull Rocky Moneyball Major League Kingpin Honorable Mention Because the are not directly about "Sports": Color of Money Caddy Shack Big Lebowski The Hustler is a way better movie than Color of Money.Lots of great movies listed in thread, very few I disagree with. I am glad we haven’t seen the dreaded “sport not a sport” painful essay come up.
March 9, 20241 yr 1. Chariots of Fire 2. Rocky 3. Remember the Titans 4. Hoosiers 5. Pride of the Yankees
