What is ur Favorite Sports Movie of All Time?

30's i need help making a descision. Ten years ago for our first Christmas as a married couple we started a tradition. Every year the week after Christmas we do a movie marathon. She aptly name it the Mickey Movie Marathon a 3M innovation (Cause it was my idea and my name's Mickey). It has a different theme every year and varies in length. It usually lasts at least 1 day but sometimes up to 3 depending on the lenth and amount of movies. We have done Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, etc. Last year was Harry Potter. The other day we ran across For Love of the Game with Kevin Costner and we watched it cause baseball is about to start and we want to get in the baseball mood cause we love the Yankees. So this year i have decided i wanna do the theme of sports movies. I love them but in my 1000+ movie collection i do not own many sports movies so I have to prepare. So that being said i need some help deciding which ones to purchase for this years event. So that being said what are some of ur favorite sports movies?

I sorted them by sport to make it easier. There alot of others but I don't own them therefore I cant remember them

These are some good one i forgot about guys keep em coming. I can't believe Remember the Titians hasn't made the list yet.

+ 1 to Chef, Hoosiers is an awesome movie. +1 to Sly- Varsity Blues is probably my fav Football comedy type movie.

We did Rocky movies one year so that is out.

I can help you out here...I have almost all of these in my collection and the ones with * are best of the best.

*Rudy (probably one of my faves...football)
*Field of Dreams (baseball)
*Rocky (boxing, the original 1976 one)
We Are Marshall (college football)
*Jerry Maguire (football...but it's also a love story for the ladies)
*The Waterboy (comedic football)
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (if you're into racing)
Days of Thunder (again NASCAR)
Brewster's Millions (baseball)
*Major League (baseball...just stick to the first one)
Space Jam (basketball)
BASEketball
The Hurricane (boxing)
Raging Bull (never seen it but lots of people said it should've won Best Picture Oscar in 1980...)
*Debbie Does Dallas (if you consider Cheerleading a sport)
Dodgeball (the movie)
*Caddyshack (golf)
Happy Gilmore (golf)
Seabiscuit
Secretariat (cheesy Disney horse racing)
Mystery, Alaska (hockey)
*The Karate Kid (1984 originial)
*Bloodsport (Van Damme kicks ass, true story)
*Ong Bak The Thai Warrior (subtitled)

I can't believe I left out Caddyshack!

I didn't think Mystery Alaska would really count as a sports movie, but I love that one too!

Does Debbie does Dallas count?

I included it in my list above....I don't own that one though...

Golf Related

Happy Gilmore
Tin Cup
The Search for Bagger Vance
Caddyshack

Cinderella Man is damn good as is Prefontaine...that's all I got that hasn't been mentioned...

Check that...just remembered Visionquest...

The Program
The longest yard (original and Sandler version)
Any Given Sunday

All pretty entertaining football movies. Are you watching the marathon with kids?

Cinderella man, caddyshack , waterboy I am from LA orginally, the natural, the sandlot, and we have to add the classic lady bugs starring rodney dangerfield

For you: Vision Quest, Hoosiers and Caddyshack

For the wife: Jerry Maguire, Brian's Song and Remember the Titans

For you both: Debbie Does Dallas (yes it counts)

Rudy is a great flix too but I always think Encino Man and am waiting for the Cavemen to jump out everywhere.

You have a pretty good list going "All though there are some pretty big streachs: Brewsters Millions " any way I will just say my favorites from each sport.

Base Ball: Major League

Foot Ball: The Program

Basket ball: don't really have one, but some one said baseket ball which is an awesome movie

Golf: Tin Cup

Hockey: slap shot

Olympics: Cool runnings

Prefontaine is an awesome pick too. I was a 1600m/ miler in high school and college so it hits home for me. +2 Hoffy

Blindside
Miracle

Remember the Titans is one of my all time favorites. I will watch it everytime I find that its on.

Are we really counting Cheerleading? Then how about Bring it On.

Lots of good suggestions, I'd second (and third and fouth) these:

Varsity blues
Hoosiers
Cutting Edge
Bull Durham
Major League
Remember the Titans

If you want something a little different:

A League of Their Own
Searching for Bobby Fisher (Chess)
Finding Forrester
Rounders (Poker)
Rad (BMX)

Hot Dog


Breaking Away

Raging Bull

Rounders FTW! Not sure if it's a sports movie, but hells yeah!

How about Better off Dead? Sort of a skiing movie?

While I disagree that cheerleading is really a sport, Bring It On cannot compare to Debbie Does Dallas... I say this despite the fact that I think Eliza Dushku is f***ing hot in a cheerleader skirt.
