Make sure you are sitting down.  And for full-aggy effect, scroll down and start at the #1 spot and scroll up.  I've never seen a list with which I had such massive disagreement, not only in glaring absences, but the placements.  Fuck me.   Seabiscuit is Top 5 and this tard has it at 47.  It's like the Looch 44 of sports movies.

Seabiscuit is not top 5...there are problems with that list, but that is not one of them

“50 best sports movies” puts documentary at #1

Wut

The Sandlot didn’t make the top 50 so list is invalid.

I read a some of it, and just kept getting this vibe that the guy who wrote it was a self-absorbed asshole that was in love with the smell of his own farts, but that he was also deeply insecure that he might have an opinion that won't fit with what the groupthink will be next week. 

Then I noticed the site was for New York magazine. Explained everything. As with most lists, this one said more about the author than the movies.

Sarah Jessica Parker's best performance, though.

Something is wrong with you if you don't love Bull Durham.  And that something is that you suck.

Miracle at #18 and slap shot above MDB

Oh, and Hoop Dreams is a doc and an hour too long doc at that.

Oh and Remember the Titans nowhere to be found in the top 20. 

On further look, Remeber the Titans didn't make the list. Neither did Invictus. 

Is The Hustler a sports movie?

The audacity to omit both The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh and Fastbreak.  

Another note: if Space Jam isn't in your top 50 you need to be taken out back and shot.

If The Color of Money is, then The Hustler is.  It depends if you consider pool a sport.  I have no problem with Rocky being in the top 10, as it did win the Best Picture Oscar, but it's a pretty shitty list all the way around. 

Edited by idigTexas
because you touch yourself

Rocky’s Top10 because it’s a great fucking movie. 

Also how do you leave Baseketball off the list?

Top 20 had 3 that should have been there, and that’s it. This is terrible, this list. 

No offense, but you couldn't be more wrong. Unless your idea of "sports films" involves guys being repeatedly hit in the nuts by a round object.

Raging Bull is one of the greatest films ever made. It's moviemaking at its highest art form. The fact that boxing is subtext to the greater story might be worthy of debate, but it's a perfect film. 

No Brian’s Song? No The Hustler? But it has Talledega Nights, yeah ok...

Just like every other internet list. They all suck.

Wut? Slap Shot, Raging Bull, League of Their Own are fantastic.

The guys is more of a movie critic than a sports fan. His list looks like it. His top 10 aren't the top 10 sports films, they are his top 10 films that are about sports.

I can't disagree with his documentaries, those are all top notch. If you haven't seen them, watch them.

Meh, whatever, guy made a list, agree or disagree.

As a basketball fan, Hoosiers will never be topped.  My quick top 8:

1) Hoosiers

Caddyshack

The Natural

Friday Night Lights

Rocky

Tin Cup

Major League

Remember the Titans

Friday Night Lights isnt just not even in the top 5, its not even on the list

 

horrible, horrible list. Laughable, even. Clickbait

Varsity Blues >>> Friday Night Lights

Remember the Titans sucked moose cock.

Remember the Titans is Radio without the regardedness.

Pool is a game. It a sport.  The Hustler is a top list movie just for being the Hustler.

Agree.  To me Jimmy Dugan is a top 10 character in sports movies but I would put the overall movie more in the 15ish-20ish range.

Tom Hanks and Geena Davis were excellent, and it's a good movie. 

Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell?  SHIT SANDWICH.

I'll say it -- that movie was so good that Rosie O'Donnell was good in it.  

And Madonna?  You have a problem with this?

Wont even click the link. My small way of saying fuck you.

Disagree.  I watched it again last month after Penny Marshall died.  That movie is nearly perfect. Everyone was good in it, there are no bad scenes, and Madonna and Geena Davis look more like baseball players than Corbin Bernsen did in Major League.

Este. And Bull Durham isn't the best baseball movie,. Hell, imho it's not even a 'baseball movie' so much as a chick flick with a baseball backdrop.

...and Rush, Talledega Nights, and Senna as the top 3 racing movies? LOL. OK.

This is horrible, this list.

This right here ^^^^^^^^^

 

Raging Bull is not only the greatest sports movie ever made but one of the best movies period in my opinion.

De Niro's finest performance.
