What are your top 5 sports movies?
My list:
1. Hoosiers 2. Rocky I the original 3. Raging Bull 4. Victory 5. Brians Song Let me say that I also do enjoy all of the Disney renditions as well. Remember the Titans, Coach Carter, Glory Road, Invincible, The Rookie and Miracle. |
I can't pick a top 5, and I agree with all of yours, but a few others in no particular order that may also make my list...also, not sure how you are interpreting "sports movies"....but I am listing movies whose central theme revolve around a specific sport....not just a traditional movie that follows a team, a la Remember the Titans....
Breaking Away The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (campy, but classic....even NBA players dig it) The Natural Slap Shot Caddyshack The Hustler North Shore Searching for Bobby Fischer One that does NOT make my list is Chariots of Fire. With the exception of the courtyard race scene, too boring. Sorry, Vangelis! Also, never saw $1,000,000 Baby, but heard it was very good. |

Gus was sweet. Imagine if you could really use a mule as your field goal kicker.
Vision Quest combined wrestling with drifter sex. Not a bad combo. I enjoyed my cameo for the locker room scene in Any Given Sunday. Any time you put Scott Bakula and Sinbad in a film you know you have a hit, which is what you got with Necessary Roughness. If just for the killer soundtrack Ice Castles has to round out the top five. |
Imagine sitting in on this pitch:
"We want to make a sports movie. Tim Conway, Don Knotts, Dick Van Patten, mules, football....and Tom Bosley falls into a glass case of live lobsters. What do you think?" Answer: OYAGE! |
1. Hoosiers - Great movie
2. Downhill Racer - Early Redford 3. Caddyshack - no other movie is quoted as much 4. Breaking Away - Being all consumed with cycling was something I could relate to. 5. Slap Shot - I think they are still playing this as a first run movie in Canada. I thought about the first Rocky but the fight scenes were just to unrealistic. I wish he had stopped at one. |
Does Jerry Maguire count?
