Best Sports Movie

[johnny utah]

What's the best all time sports movie?

My two favorites are Cinderella Man and Hoosiers.

I give a very big honorable mention to a little known film from 1986, "Streets of Gold". I'ts a great film about two amateur boxers trying to make the U.S national team. It stars Wesley Snips.

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Hoosiers.

[vta]

I'm pretty partial to 'The Longest Yard'.
The original Burt Reynolds movie not that Adam Sandler joke.

[dexternjack]

I like most of them, but I would say "Eight men out"

[masomenos]

I'll never refuse to watch A League of Their Own.

[davidyee]

...Slap Shot.

[the kid 05]

Warrior, Remember the titans, or BASEketball

[Heisenberg]

One that sticks out a bit in my head as of late is "Goon".

[daschoo]

escape to victory

[cowboy_ron]

The Rounders

[a_minimalist]

Remember the Titans, and I know many will disagree but I always liked varsity blues

[Hagman]

Field of Dreams.

[SC Cowboyfan]

We are Marshall, Remember the titans, Invincible. I really like all three of those movies.

[jnday]

Rudy or Rocky.

[Hostile]

Co-sign, followed closely by Bull Durham.

Caddyshack

[CliffnMesquite]

Either, "We are Marshall" or "Radio", or "Caddy Shack".

:)

[big dog cowboy]

Every time this thread gets started the correct answer is Slap Shot.

[BigMac6]

Miracle on Ice
Eight men out
Remember the Titans
The Blind side

[DallasCowpoke]

"Brian's Song", and there's not even a close second IMHO.

"Bang The Drum Slowly" is also very good.

"Breaking Away", not a great movie per say but very entertaining.

Awesome list. I HIGHLY recommend "The Pride of the Yankees" and you will quickly add it to your baseball list.

I own this movie. I don't own movies unless they are great. Major League is a great movie. Maybe not a true sports movie, but still great none the less.

Rocky
Rudy
A League of Their Own

Any one of these could be rated as number one and I wouldn't have an issue with it. They were all outstanding movies.

Good call!

I've seen "The Pride of the Yankees" (more than once) and I agree, not just a great movie but a Classic. My oversight to have left it off my list. It belongs near the top of my all-time favorite Baseball Movies list.

Yet another "D'oh!" moment, trying to recall so many wonderful movies. ;)
