Best Sports Movie

[Reek]

thread title speak for itself...

some of these arent based on a specific sport, but have sport themes...for instance, Jerry Maguire is a drama, but is also based on greed in professional sports...

if you say other, please note which movie...

vote away...

 

[ShaneHelms]

Days of Thunder t:

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Rudy

 

[Hush]

Slap Shot or Miracle. Jerry Maguire is close but I would say one of those two hockey films.

 

[The Dark Defender]

Rocky easily.

For me its Slap Shot... hands down. IMO its also one of the funniest movie ever.

Some other favorites are:
Raging Bull
Major League
The Hustler
Mircle
King Pin

Your a good man Ace.

High fives go round to the Slap Shot voters. "Dave's a killer!"

The Narural. It was a beautifully shot film, brilliant acting, and the ending still gives me chills and a snifly nose.

 

[Drizzle]

I voted for "Rocky". But how is "Friday Night Lights" not on that list?

 

[rdh007]

I voted for Hoosiers because (speaking as a white kid from a school of 250) it was so huge to me personally, though I'm sure there are better movies up there.

 

[Addendum]

Hoosiers was a great serious sports movie

 

[Reek]

I voted for "Rocky". But how is "Friday Night Lights" not on that list?

friday night lights is a good story, but sucked.

i actually saw the top 20 on ESPN, put them in the poll, and added a couple of my favorites.

 

[BloodyWolverine]

No love for The Replacements i loved that movie. Angels In The Outfield, A League Of Their Own. I voted Old Longest Yard.

 

[Reek]

theres a 25 choice limit on polls...and the ones that are listed are among the best according to Sports Ill. and ESPN.

 

[WorthyStevens]

Miracle. Damned fine movie about a great sport, and a great moment in sports history.

 

[Apollo]

angels in the outfield damnit!

followed by the Big Green Damnit!
