[PeliniTheCrutch]

Raging Bull
The Longest Yard (1974)
The Hustler

The Hustler…nice addition.

Agree. ... Kilmer's famous lines:

You're the dumbest smart kid i know..

Your Dad was a no talent pussy, but at least he listened.

Awwww, Billybob gonna cry about it?
My star quarterback is dragging his leg around, because of you.

You’re thinking about Top Gun
Billy Bob Thorton was the coach in Hoosiers

 

[dinglefritz]

The Hustler…nice addition.

I’m in disbelief that ya’ll have left out Debbie Does Dallas. ⭐️. This board is really slipping

 

[HuskerAlum92]

Blades of Glory

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

Do you seriously not know what The Hustler is or something?!

One of the greatest movies of all time. Hell, Paul Newman won an Oscar for the sequel just because he got robbed the first time.

Well sir, we know where your mind is at.😉

Umm.. Coach Bud Kilmer (played by Jon Voight) on Varsity Blues. Wait, have you not watched it before?

These are the days I miss Blockbuster.

 

[SickOfPractice]

I think Field of Dreams has to be #1 for me.

It was pretty lacking on actual sports action but I remember my wife saying afterwards, "I can't believe you got me to watch a sports movie! I loved that!"

It also made me want to watch a baseball game, and I'm not the biggest baseball fan.

[Charlie Marlow]

Teen Wolf

Pretty sure that’s BTF69 coaching the team

 

[huskerfan1414]

Minus #8 thats a fine list...but i'd try to find a spot for Breaking Away and Days of Thunder but the biggest sin is not listing Bull Durham at all...and Tin Cup

Bull Durham is not a sports movie.

It's a chick flick starring an ugly, gross hag.

Most overrated movie of all time. Chick flick.

 

[huskerfan1414]

The original top ten list is horrible. We are marshall? pff.

#1 is the Sandlot. It's the movie that catches the purity of sports, specifically America's past time of baseball.

Rocky belongs up there for sure. Varsity Blues as others have mentioned.

I would put Major League in the top ten.

 

[huskerfan1414]

Well of course , but I also prefer true stories should be rated over fancy sports movies.
My opinion.

Remember the Titans
We are Marshall
Brian’s Song
Hoosiers
The Express
Rudy
My All American

Rudy for sure. Great sports movie

 

[huskerfan1414]

Omitting both Bloodsport and No Holds Barred is embarrassing.

Bloodsport is such a great movie. They need to sit current Hollywood idiots down, turn it on, and teach them to get back to trying to entertain people and have fun

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

Bull Durham is not a sports movie.

It's a chick flick starring an ugly, gross hag.

Most overrated movie of all time. Chick flick.

I also look forward to the Holidays, for the newly released Hallmark movies.

 

[big red22]

All of the above, but also others I haven't seen listed yet;

Varsity Blues
The 6th Man
The Rookie
Rookie of the Year
Little Big League
Angels in the Outfield
Greater
The Blind Side
Million Dollar Baby
Cinderella Man

 

[SLOHusker]

Moneyball was a good movie but not sure how it's over Miracle on Ice and Hoosiers? Your favorites?

My List that are the ones I enjoy watching the most:
1. The Sandlot
2. Hoosiers
3. Rudy
4. Rocky IV
5. Miracle
6. Remember the Titans
7. Trouble With the Curve
8. Seabiscuit
9. Field of Dreams
10. Karate Kid

 

[skintight]

No Rollerball?
and Victory?

 

[CheeseRunza]

The Longest Yard (1974 version) is a classic.

 

[Dean Pope]

If Pittsburgh had an NBA team...

 

[Rick.Shaw]

Moneyball was a good movie but not sure how it's over Miracle on Ice and Hoosiers? Your favorites?

My top 3 in order are Rocky, Hoosiers and Happy Gilmore. 3 not mentioned that I’d call out are Million Dollar Baby, Cinderella Man and The Bad News Bears. Anyone who was a kid in the 70s probably remembers The Bad News Bears fondly.

Thanks. I should have read the whole string.

 

[Spinner45]

Better soundtrack then movie

 

[Spinner45]

Maybe not the best sports movies, but movies i always watch if they’re on

1. The Legend of Bagger Vance
2. The greatest game over played
3. Draft Day.

 

[schuele]

John Sayles’ movies are not everyone’s cup of tea, but I really liked Eight Men Out.

Slap Shot is just timeless - still hilarious after all these years.

For best hoops movie I will go with Hoosiers and best football would be North Dallas Forty.

Death Race 2000. 🤣

 

[lifer56]

The glaring omission of The Chipmunk Adventure is mind bottling.

I don't see Draft Day listed anywhere. That was a solid movie IMO

 

[GretnaShawn]

Slap shot is a classic.
