sports movies
I love sports movies. It's probably the one genre that I could watch any movie. No matter how bad they are, I love them and they usually make me emotional at some point. So what are your favorites?
The Mighty Ducks trilogy is probably my all-time favorite. Rudy and Varsity Blues are close behind. Oh, and I forgot about Love and Basketball . . . there's just too man good ones out there : )
Re: sports movies
I used to love the mighty ducks
Remember the Titans is one of my all time favorites in general, and I have a soft spot for The Rookie as well
Anyone else want to see The Blind Side?
I agree with you - I am definitely into sports movies. I love love love Remember the Titans.
And I can't wait for The Blind Side. That is such an amazing story!
Breaking Away will always be near the top of my list. Not only is it a great coming of age story, the sport aspect is terrific. Plus, it's always nice to see my old alma mater--even if it is an old version of it. Double plus, it's actually about an event that's still alive, kicking, and that I have had a small part in it's history! Triple Plus, Dennis Quaid was hot, even back then!
Pride of the Yankees. I've only seen my DH tear up twice in the time I've known him. One of those times was while watching this movie. It's definitely made an impact on our lives (see siggy). Even though Gary Cooper couldn't play ball for crap, the story of Lou Gehrig really was inspirational and movie-worthy.
I also love Field of Dreams, The Rookie, and Hoosiers.
I can't wait for Blind Side too. DH bought the book and I want to read it. Sounds like a great story.
I really like the remake of the Longest Yard. I thought it was pretty funny. And i like The Replacements too. But I'm biased since my childhood crush was Keanu.
This is a silly one, but I like Cool Runnings.
Some more recent ones I like are Friday Night Lights, Facing the Giants, The Express, Fever Pitch, Glory Road, Miracle....
Can you tell I just looked at this wiki? Hahaha: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sports_films
I loved Cool Runnngs!
oh and I will always love The Sandlot
I forgot about Miracle--loved it too. The company that I worked for at the time got a sneak preview of that movie because of our association with the US Olympic Hockey team. It was very cool.
for you Miracle lover's you may have already seen this, if not it's soooo cute

my daughter rarely cries, but this movie makes her sob...she loves the story of Pre and there are times where she puts on her Nikes to run or go to practice and grins and calls them her Pre's
I'm surprised no one mentioned Radio. I LOVE this movie!
And I'm really excited for Blind Side too!
Well of course I love Rudy. Although the fact that the RL Rudy is a douche tarnishes it for me.
I really like Rember the Titans.
The Sandlot....hands down, favorite sports movie.
You're killing me Smalls!

Also, The Natural, Field of Dreams (I grew up about 30 minutes from there), I guess I like baseball?
All of the baseball ones: A League of Their Own, The Rookie, The Natural, Field of Dreams, Major League, Fever Pitch
Rudy, Miracle, Any Given Sunday, Remember the Titans, Cinderella Man
and don't forget SEABISCUIT.
Definitely Breaking Away! I like most of the other ones too: Miracle; Hoosiers; The Sandlot!; A League of their Own; Any Given Sunday; Prefontaine. Oh jeez, I could go on and on...
oh, and Rocky, of course
I also just saw a great one called Sugar about a Dominican kid trying to make it in the big leagues.
