Now, to my main point: how the hell does nobody have Karate Kid on the list? Allow me to be the first.

1) Hoosiers
2) Rudy
3) Karate Kid
4) Rocky I
5) Breaking Away

Are you crazy?

"Oh, this is the worst looking hat I ever saw.....what, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup........oh, it looks good on you, though..."

"I hear this place is restricted Wang, so don't tell them your Jewish, okay? Fine."

"Tell the cook this is low grade dog food. I've have better food at the ball game...this steak still has marks where the jockey was hitting it..."

"Hey, you scratched my anchor..."

I still crack up when he goes into the golf shop and asks for a box of the "naked lady tees"

I suppose you didn't care much for the Church's "Families Are Forever" filmstrip, either?

I am one that never tires of Caddyshack. Not even Rodney. I love his one-liners as much today than when the movie was in the theaters.

"You scratched my anchor!" will always make me laugh.

No one has mentioned "Field of Dreams". One of my friends has this near the top of his list and told me before I saw it that if you had ever played catch with your dad you would shed a tear or two. I saw it and it didn't do a thing for me. What are your thoughts on this movie?

i think it is a good movie, but Kevin Costner is one of the worst actors of our time.

his being in the movie is what made me keep it off the list. but truthfully, i like it.

i never cried, though. didnt think it was THAT good.

I enjoyed 8 men out, now that I think about it (nothing to do with FOD, but just thought of it because they are both baseball movies)

If it had been someone other than Costner, it would be a great movie. He is why I never saw For the Love of the Game.

How did I forget the original Major League?

Kevin Costner isn't a bad actor. He's made some lousy movies for sure. But Field of Dreams isn't one of them. It's also a great book. Field of Dreams is my all time favorite movie. I think Bill Simmons wrote an article a while back that Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid could be interchanged in any movie for each other. I couldn't disagree with that.

1. Field of Dreams
2. Hoosiers
3. Brian's Song
4. Chariots of Fire
5. The Natural

Honorable Mention: Tin Cup, The Longest Yard, 61*, Bull Durham, Rad, Gleaming the Cube, North Shore, Endless Summer 1 & 2, and the two best snowboarding movies ever Shakedown and Chulksmack.

One of the most overated Sports movies ever made.

Boring from beginning to end.

And sorry, it's just not that emotional.

I like many of the ones mentioned...with Miracle probably toping the list, although I can turn Rudy on at any minute and be glued.

Also, the Greatest Game Ever Played is a very good movie, and I'd throw in A League of Their Own...strictly for Tom Hanks.

Oh, and the Hurricane.
