Edited Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 As title reads, what are your favourite sports movies? Me personally, only ones coming to mind at the moment, are Goon and Gridiron Gang as two of my favourites.
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Major League is probably my favorite. Baseball movies in general make up my favorite sports movies. I don't know why but that sport translates better than the others to film. Boxing movies do too. There have been so many good boxing movies going all the way back to the 30's.
phillyb Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 definitely +1 on major league. a league of their own is good. there's a don cherry series on netflix that was decent. the russian story of the miracle on ice - 30 for 30: or miracles and men
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Was that a documentary or an actual movie? I wanted to watch but kind of forgot about it.
Phil Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Most of them, honeslty. Cheesy as they are, they're just good time-killers and they're great movies if you just wanna kill a couple hours and not really think too hard. Gridiorn Gang, all the Mighty Ducks movies, Miracle, Mystery Alaska, Rookie of the Year, Moneyball, Major League, Invincible, The Rookie, Cool Runnings, Coach Carter, We Are Marshall, The Replacements, Little Giants, etc.

So much more than in real life. Moneyball is one of my favorites ever.

I wanted to watch but kind of forgot about it. the don cherry thing? it was definitely a movie with characters. there are four total and i think they're all around 90 minutes each. keep your head up kid: the don cherry story and wrath of grapes: the don cherry story II

Johnnydollaz18 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 The Program and Friday Night Lights. Also, Miracle.

Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Lest us not forget Happy Gilmour.
rvbcaboose Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Miracle, Rocky (I and II), Goon, Field of Dreams, The Natural, and the Mighty Ducks are all good. I've probably missed a few, but in terms of hollywood sports movies, i haven't watched many, especially recently. As for documentaries, you can't go wrong with the ESPN Films 30 for 30 (or sometimes just ESPN Films). So many good ones. Some of my favorites are: June 17, 1994, You don't know Bo, Broke, The U parts 1 and 2, Of Miracles and Men, Small Potatoes, Kings Ransom, the Fab 5, and a few more. As someone who loves sports history, this series is just awesome.
Future Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Mystery, Alaksa was a good movie, not a great one, but it had one of the best lines ever. "I play hockey and I fornicate, 'cause those are the two most fun things to do in cold weather."
Patrick Bateman Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 The best part(s) of mystery alaska was everytime there was a shot on net the goalie would be diving in from off picture to make the save
Dave Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Any Given Sunday, The Fighter, White Men Can't Jump and Dodge Ball.
Revolution Rock Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Staples like what's already been mentioned. But can't forget Slapshot because - albeit a cliche pick - it's classic . Also, The Rocket (Maurice Richard) - while having some cheesy moments - was nicely shot. Plus includes a cameo from this guy: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ApbVkpmqIx0/VMaaXQ8TxWI/AAAAAAAADtI/gF3BK2hO37g/s1600/image0011.jpg rvbcaboose mentioned documentaries earlier. Hoop Dreams was good. And the 30 for 30s he mentioned were all good. Plus, Bernie and Ernie (Knicks), Steve Bartman, (Once Brothers)Divac/Petrovic were worthy watches.
