Your favorite Sports movie.

[CarMike]

Which one of these are your all-time favorite sports movie?

There are a number of great movies that I left off due to choices. One of my all time favs is "Rudy". Some others are The Replacements, A league of their own, No where Alaska, and several others that I can't think of right now.

[hail2skins]

Adrian, Adrian, Adrian with blood puring down both sides of his face.

:sfight:

[CarMike]

Hey Mike, there's a Rocky movie on right now on ESPN Classic.

I voted for Slap Shot. I'm huge hockey fan and I love the in your face action of the movie. Great, great movie.

[rskinsfan10]

The Waterboy for me.

Where is Caddyshack on that list? That would be my 1a....:D

[CarMike]

Ah yeah.......Caddyshack. Classic. What was that one high school movie made in Alexandria, Va? The one with Denzel Washington. Its a real life movie. Thats another good one.

[hail2skins]

Remember The Titans. My fav.

Yep. Excellent movie. Hate I couldn't remember the movie name. That would have definately been on the list.

[Skins57]

Remember the Titans was an awesome movie but Rudy might be all time favorite

[Skinzaholic]

This may be a corney one... but I have always liked "Hoosiers" with Gene Hackman... that movie was awesome. (Perhaps it is because I relate to the dude who shot the under-handed freethrow???)

[Seebs]

I really like Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday. Remember the titans was quite good also.

[TexSkin]

Any Given Sunday and Norht Dallas Forty... Also Brian Song

Excellent movis that I forgot. Damn!:confused: :banghead:

[Spence]

I went with "Bull Durham." That movie makes me laugh a lot. The first 30 minutes of "White Man Can't Jump" is sublime.

[dj_stouty]

As a kid, I loved hockey movies such as Slap Shot and Youngblood. Field of Dreams is a pretty damn good one too.

But...my favorite from the last 5 years has to be Remember the Titans. 4 of the past 5 years, I lived near "T.C. Williams High School", which is the Alexandria, VA school that the movie was about. Opening weekend, as my wife and I stood in line to see the movie, they opened up the theater doors for the exiting audience...and the ENTIRE TCWilliams football team exited. (The current team) They were all wearing their jerseys and were PUMPED up beyond belief. It made watching the movie afterwards that much greater...

[JoeDaSchmoe]

Gotta go with Remember the Titans. I was hoping to be all original and say it first, but oh well. Incredible movie. Just incredible. Outdoes the Replacements, outdoes Any Given Sunday, outdoes Rudy. If you like football, you need to see this movie.

[dj_stouty]

I agree Joe...Its too bad that they didn't film the movie in ALEXANDRIA! Instead, I think it was actually filmed in Alabama or somewhere further south.

[AGibbsGirl]

Man! how I love Brian's Song

Loved Remember the Titans!

Also I loved 8 Men Out, but you know I love Baseball...

But from the list, I suppose The Rocky films, because I grew up in the 80's.

[jsarno]

I can't believe no one mentioned this one to this point...MAJOR LEAGUE with Charlie Sheen. That has to be the best sports movie of all time. All the major leagues were good but the first one was the best.
(so I voted for other)

"hey bartender, jobu needs a refill!!!"

[CarMike]

I can't believe I forgot about another one of my favorites. If you consider Bull Wriding as a sport. 8 Seconds is one of my favorites.

Another one of my favorites is dealing with NASCAR. Days of Thunder.

[TexSkin]

uggh those moives stunk..I hope your kidding. :smash:

I did not like Days of Thunder...but I did like 8 seconds. Although Bull Riding is not a sport, it's for dumbasses looking for entertainment.

HEY maw, let me see if I can ride them there dat angry beast of a animal. I'm fixin to bust me head wide open and break every dang bone in me body. YEEE HAAAAW

[TexSkin]

Anyhting with Charlie Sheen is about as enteraining as getting my wisdom teeth pulled. Sorry just my pref. Bleh!!! :Peace:

[bfauble83]

I went with Happy Gilmore, that movie is hilarious...but there are many others on the list that I love too...bull riding is a sport.

[Chief Seeway]

Any sports movie poll that doesnt include "Caddy Shack" is an outrage!

Shame on you CarMike, shame! :smash:


:D :D :D Just kidding. It is my favorite "sports" comedy.

Other's worth mentioning [again]

Hoosiers [I'll admit it, a tear or two fell when the drunk was setting up the "picket fence" play]

Rudy

Field of Dreams [I'm a baseball guy]

bull riding is dumb.

[dj_stouty]

Lets not forget some of the lesser known "sports":

Poker: "Rounders"
Billiards: "The Hustler", "Color of Money"
BMX: "Rad"
Skateboarding: "Gleaming the Cube"

[Keino]

The Longest Yard

Field of Dreams

The Natural

Bull Durham

All classic Sports movies!

Brian's song was a very good movie.

[JoeDaSchmoe]

Bfauble, gotta say I like your choice. Happy Gilmore is probably my favorite comedy of all time. How could you not like a movie with a fistfight between Adam Sandler and Bob Barker?:cool:

[Seebs]

I forgot Field of dreams, a very good moovie... and i don't like baseball...

[CarMike]

Damn it.....another great movie I forgot all about.....The Natural.

[TexSkin]

If beer chugging was a sport man I could make some serious cash. :drunker: :beer:

[jsarno]

hail2skins...off the subject...but why is it that your logo thingy (the tackling parners) has an ORANGE uniformed player tackling a RED uniformed player??? That's pretty close to sacreligous to the skins don't you think?????

Out of the movies named above, waterboy was the funniest. Remember the titans was probably the best all around. Acting, story line etc.

[dukeuch]

How can everyone forget "Bang the Drum Slowly"? Man, seeing the catcher (very young Robert De Niro) searching the sky for the already-caught pop-up makes even tough guys well up. Lots of famous character actors in that one.

I agree, I just think its a sport...a dumb sport, but a sport nontheless.

My favorite part is the rhyming scene he has in the bar with Shooter McGavin.

My favorite part of Happy Gilmore was when Shooter told Happy, "I eat shit like you for breakfast every day". Then Happy says, "You eat shit for breakfast"? Every time I see that part it kills me.

[AustinSkins]

Tin Cup is a classic golf movie.
Slapshot & Mystery, Alaska for Hockey

Yeah, that whole movie is just great...and whats up with the first caddy he gets, the blonde kid...he looks like a Simpsons character...

[FosterTheSkins]

Green Street Hooligans.

[BIGREDSKINSFAN1963]

Hoosiers which is one of the top 5 sports movies ever made along with bang the drum slowly.:giantsuk:

[BIGREDSKINSFAN1963]

Green Street Hooligans.


I Can't remember the character's name in the movie,but charlie hunnam.jax on sons of anarchy,plays that role.:giantsuk:

[cal_junior]

This would be a great poll to re-do. Raging Bull will always be No. 1 for me.

[AustinSkin]

I always cry at the end of Rudy. Time to turn in my man card.

[GeneralDisorder]

Debbie Does Dallas.

[Keino]

Hoosiers, Raging Bull, Rudy and Basketball Diaries should be on this list before some of these others. The only Rocky movie that should be in the discussion is the first one.

[Gravy]

I'm a big fan of both versions of "The Longest Yard"

I enjoyed "We Are Marshall" and "Glory Road"

I love Major League, The Replacements, Rocky 1 - 4 (Sorry Keino), Remember The Titans, The Best of Times, The Karate Kid movies (do they count), Happy Gilmore...

[CNYSkinFan]

I am late to this thread but The Natural has to be right up there along with Rudy for me. We are Marshall is pretty great.

for funny sports movies The Waterboy is just awesome

[Sweepea436]

What about Miracle?

"Hey you cant do that, that's my net man"

"They just scored 5 goals. Right now its everybody's net"

Classic!

[AGibbsGirl]

I started to read this thread, saw a post from jsarno and realized it was 9 years old. I still stand by Brian Song. But Remember The Titans is now probably my favorite sports movie.
