View Full Version : What are some of your favorite sports movies?
I was watching Coach Carter today, and it got me thinking about what are the essential sports movies. Some of the first ones I thought of were Bang the Drum Slowly, Brian's Song, and The Natural.

Good list. I'd have to add "Rudy" to the list even thought I dislike Notre Dame with a passion. Still a feel good story for hard work in this country.

In my eyes sports movies are sort of lame and predictable; I don't go out of my way to watch them.
That said, I like Rocky and Hoosiers...
Wonder if Miracle is any good?

The Replacements will always be my sentimental favorite as it was the first time I laughed after Dad died.

In that same vein, the Imax Everest movie is pretty spectacular and inspiring.

Sweet. It's never mentioned anywhere. I've only seen it once and thought it was really good, esp for a sports movie. I'm about ready to check it again, I hope its as good as I remember.

The Lou Gherig story, Major League, Knute Rockne All American, Hoosiers and one from a couple years ago.... it has the guy from Burn Notice playing a girls basketball coach out near OKC in the 50's...good show and a true story.
