Your 7 favorite sports movies (1 Viewer)

Miracle

Hoosiers

Happy Gilmore

He Got Game

Slapshot

Kingpin

Moneyball

Miracle and then everything else.

Bull Durham is a romantic comedy with baseball as a backdrop, and it's not that funny.

Wish I could fit Blue Chips on the list.

No Field of Dreams, Big lebowski, mighty Ducks or Major League.

ETA: Putting Moneyball in over Sandlot.

Dont mean to hijack but OP....

How much sports do you think should be in a movie to consider it a sports movie? What would be a good example of a movie with significant sports content but isnt a sports movie?

 
1. Miracle

Craig Patrick: You're missing some of the best players.
Herb Brooks: I'm not looking for the best players, Craig. I'm looking for the right ones.

2. Karate Kid

Miyagi: What matter?
Daniel: I'm just scared. The tournament and everything.
Miyagi: You remember lesson about balance?
Daniel: Yeah.
Miyagi: Lesson not just karate only. Lesson for whole life. Whole life have a balance. Everything be better. Understand?

3. Hoosiers

Norman Dale: I love you guys.

4. The Rookie

Jimmy: You know what we get to do today, Brooks? We get to play baseball. :excited:

5. Cinderella Man

Jim Braddock: I didn't always lose. I won't always lose again.

6. Rudy

Fortune: Oh you are so full of crap. Your five foot nothin', a hundred and nothin' and hardly have a spec of athletic ability and you hung in with the best college football team in the land for two years, and you were also going to walk out of here with a degree from the University of Norte Dame. In this life time you don't have to prove nothing to nobody except yourself and after what you gone through if you haven't done that by now, it aint gonna never happen, now go on back.


7. Seabiscuit

Reporter: Awful lotta hoopla for such a little horse.
Red Pollard: Though he be but little, he is fierce.
And to cheat...I'll add an 8th.

8. Dodgeball

Cotton McKnight: I'm being told that Average Joe's does not have enough players and will be forfeiting the championship match.
Pepper Brooks: It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.
