No SlapShot? Paul Newman will kick your ass from behind the grave!

I kind of like Remember the Titans. It's easy to tell whether or not things are going well for the team.

Badly: Dramatic, orchestral score
Well: 60's rock music

He omitted The Pride of the Yankees. :(

M*A*S*H is a better football movie than The Longest Yard.

Rollerball

Beats the shiat out of article:



Also,

Breaking Away
Field of Dreams
The Best of Times
Chariots of farking Fire
Bad News Bears

Miracle. And The Bad News Bears.

Ummm, no! Bad list.

All that needs to be said

Honorable Mentions:

Major League
Necessary Roughness
Murderball

What a shiatty list.

Chariots of Fire has to be in there for a start.
Loads of decent/better sports films...

Slap Shot, Field of Dreams, Mean Machine (not the shiatty remake), The Pride of the Yankees, Man of Bronze, Raging Bull, King Pin, Big Lebowski, Le Mans, Rollerball, Lagaan, Tin Cup, Grand Prix, The Hustler, Cool Runnings, This Sporting Life - I'm sure there's loads more.

No mention of "The Sandlot"?

RocketRod: No mention of "The Sandlot"?

I'm gonna have to go with this, who didn't love this movie?
/some more of what!?

Awesome movie, but IMHO....it doesn't really count as a sports movie. Besides, they don't even show The Dude bowl, maaaan.

Sliding Carp: Rollerball

I came in here to say that. And Major League. How the heck could they leave off Major League?

savage henry: If you're not going to put in one of Kevin Costner's sports movies, you really don't have a decent list.

I concur.

Field of Dreams?
Bull Durham?
That one with the golf?
Bull farking Durham?

Karate Kid!

List fails without...

All jokes aside this one should of been on there.

Come on, it stars Josh Brolin!

ac982000: No SlapShot? Paul Newman will kick your ass from behind the grave!

Yeah, that's a bad miss, and there's a couple others there which I either don't like or find horribly overrated. But they got The Natural and Hoosiers so I'm done biatching.

Not even a Yankee fan, but I think 61* needs to be on there.


/I'm sure by total coincidence, Ken Burn's 'Baseball' is on TV right now. If you haven't seen it and have a netflix account and about 2-weeks to spare, I'd highly recommend it.
