It&#...Ooh, I forgot to mention When We Were Kings. It's a doc that I don't think you need to be a sports lover to enjoy. See it for the historical context and the amazing character that is Muhammed Ali.<br /><br />I don't care if it was on the list, it ain't a sports movie any more than Uncle Buck is, which also featured a bowling scene.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-81629063671425128652010-09-30T17:54:21.362-05:002010-09-30T17:54:21.362-05:00Dylan: It was on the list! :P
Of all the ones you...Dylan: It was on the list! :P<br /><br />Of all the ones you listed, you know how many I've seen (outside The Sandlot)? 1. Varsity Blues.<br /><br />But I told you, I hate sports movies :) .Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-81958345641126175852010-09-30T17:44:35.263-05:002010-09-30T17:44:35.263-05:00I do feel honored. Thank you, Nick.
With that ou...I do feel honored. Thank you, Nick.<br /><br />With that out of the way, I must say that this is a pretty terrible list. :P To be fair, I've not seen either Air Bud or Surf Ninjas, but something's telling me I just ain't missing out on much.<br /><br />I hate Remember the Titans. Disneyfied sports movies should be banned from this earth. <br /><br />Run Fatboy Run was a supreme disappointment. I really wanted to like it, and was distracted by just how ripped Hank Azaria was/is.<br /><br />Excellent choices with Lebowski, Sandlot, Wrestler and (to an extent) Gilmore, though.<br /><br />My top sports movies - oooh, tough - would include a lot of celebrated classics and a few that aren't great that I love anyway: Bull Durham, Major League, Caddyshack, The Color of Money, Major League, White Men Can't Jump, Varsity Blues, Teen Wolf (ha), The Sandlot, Tin Cup, etc.<br /><br />I love movies with bowling in them, but I can't qualify Lebowski as a sports movie at all.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-28541338072730343792010-09-30T10:02:02.846-05:002010-09-30T10:02:02.846-05:00Jess: Believe it or not, that was the plan (chick ...Jess: Believe it or not, that was the plan (chick flicks, that is).<br /><br />The reason I didn't pick Rudy is because, honestly, I haven't seen it. My parents own the movie, and I know all about it. But I've never actually seen the whole thing. Otherwise, it probably would have been on the list. And I've not seen Miracle.<br /><br />Rachel: I thought about Mighty Ducks, but I've not seen Basketball Diaries. I thought about Talledega Nights, but I didn't care too much for it, and Speed Racer is so much cooler.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-57388725241056373622010-09-30T09:49:15.193-05:002010-09-30T09:49:15.193-05:00Wow, Jess is demanding to be honored;)
I like tha...Wow, Jess is demanding to be honored;)<br /><br />I like that you chose different sports to honor. For hockey, I'd go with the first Mighty Ducks and for basketball, I'd say The Basketball Diaries (not about basketball, but features it some in the beginning). And I love The Sandlot. I found it at walmart for $5 a few months back, but didn't get it and haven't seen it since.<br /><br />And I must thank you greatly for not including any of Will Ferrell's sports related films.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386248680892197260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-67535433856912903502010-09-30T08:47:14.526-05:002010-09-30T08:47:14.526-05:00I would submit "Miracle" (hockey), and &...I would submit "Miracle" (hockey), and "Rudy" (football).
