I loved the Rookie, but Major League's is #1 in my book! I adore Jobu, Rum, and Cigarettes. I also played in the California Penal League, I do an ole when I field, and I cant hit breaking balls, I am a horrible catcher, and I run like Hayes but hit like Mayes! :headbang

I voted for Rocky, as I feel it's one of the best movies ever, let alone sports movies.

 

Stallone wrote an incredible script, and did an even better job of portraying "The Itallian Stallion". A subperb supporting cast of Talia Shire (Adrian), Burt Young (Paulie), Burgess Merideth (Mickey), and Carl Weathers (Apollo Creed) only made this movie all the more great.

 

4 stars, and like I said, one of the best movies ever made.

 

PS -- anyone who liked Rocky and hasn't seen it on DVD should either rent it or buy it and watch the movie with the commentary on. The number of lines/scenes in the movie that weren't in the script are amazing. Sometimes having a $1M budget turns out to be a good thing. :)

Not the best sports movie ever, but "Caddyshack" ranks in the Top 10. Bill Murray is so money a Carl Spackler.

 

My personal faves are "Field of Dreams", "Major League", "Rocky", "Rudy" (why'd that little s*** have to go to Notre Dame?), and "Gladiator." Gladiating was sport back in the D..... A..... Y :headbang

My favorite would be Bull Durham - just because I see something new everytime I see it to make me laugh -

 

looking at my collection of dvds and videotapes, not one sports movie in the group - sports movies just somehow are a bit too contrived for me - none of them has never actually captured the reality, the real tensions and excitment of actual sports events -

Hoosiers is the best sports movie ever, but maybe I am a little biased, after almost living that movie!

Did you play basketball for the Hoosiers or something?

In college I broadcast high school basketball for a very small HS team that almost got to state finals. They lost to the eventual state champions.
