Remember the Titans
Rudy
Hoosiers
Miracle
Chariots of Fire
I didn't include comedies ... if so, Major League, Talladega Nights, and Happy Gilmore would have made the list ;)
Baseball fans might be ticked that Bull Durham, Field of Dreams and The Natural did not make the list (what can I say, baseball is not my favorite). Invictus, The Blind Side, and We Are Marshall are all solid choices. I also didn't consider the Rocky series because they may have dominated my list. What are your all-time top sports movies?
Football: Radio and Brian's Song (1970s)
ReplyDeleteBaseball: Eight Men Out and The Rookie
Golf: The Legend of Bagger Vance
Boxing: Cinderella Man and Million Dollar Baby
These are films that I have really liked over the years.
Your list includes some of my favorites as well.
Good choices! I haven't seen Eight Men Out - will have to check that one out.
ReplyDeleteGreat picks, Ben!
ReplyDeleteBreaking them down by sport, my favorites are...
Baseball: The Pride of the Yankees, The Rookie, The Sandlot (Eight Men Out is very good)
Football: Remember the Titans, Rudy, We Are Marshall
Soccer: The Damned United
Hockey: Miracle
Fighting/Boxing: Cinderella Man and Rocky
I still haven't seen Invictus.
All great movies Ben. Here are my top 5 (in no particular order).
ReplyDeleteThe Rookie- made me cry
Remember The Titans-Inspired every time I watch it
The Blindside-also made me cry
Chariots of Fire- Eric Liddell was the man
The Natural- My first favorite sports movie. Roy Hobbs the best there ever was!
