What? No option for The Sandlot? :eek:

I like most baseball movies, though.

(Psst, don't tell Senob, but I've never seen the ending to The Natural. I always fall asleep about half an hour away from the end of the movie.):helpme:

Is somewhere outhere.
Where's Rocky???

I think my best was Escape to Victory (another Stallone movie) because it was the first time I saw Pele play football :thefinger
 
Gotta be Raging Bull: de Niro, Moriarty, Pesci, Thelma Schoonmaker's fantastically awesome editing, and Scorsese at his exceptional best - You Can't Beat It :thumbsup:

My favorite sports movies have always been Rudy and Brian's Song.

I would recommend Soul Of The Game too. It's an HBO movie from a while back, but it's pretty good. It's about the "journey" into the major leagues for Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson and Jackie Robinson.

The Natural. There's just something about it....I can watch it again and again. Also, point of order, instead of The Lou Gehrig Story I believe you may be referring to Pride of the Yankees starring Gary Cooper.

As much as I love Slapshot, Caddyshack, Youngblood, Miracle, and Tin Cup, among others, I'd have to say The Natural is maybe my favorite of all time. Hoosiers is a damn good movie too.
 
I like all of the movies listed. Im very partial to Hoosiers as Im a basketball coach, so I went with that.

AMC did a double header a few weeks back: The Natural and Field of Dreams. So, yeah, I was up late watching those. lol.

I can only watch Major League on DVD, I can't stand the dubbed version they show on TV.
