November 30, 200916 yr Hoosiers Bull Durham Major League The Longest Yard (not the regrettable "updated" version) Varsity Blues
November 30, 200916 yr He Got Game (you either like it or you don't most aren't in between on this movie) Any Given Sunday Major League Season on the Brink (That Bob Knight Movie) Blue Chips I don't like most sports movies for what ever reason. I can't stand Remember the Titans, or Hoosiers or Rudy. They just get over played IMO.
November 30, 200916 yr It's not my favorite sports movie, but "The Final Season" is a good baseball movie. No foul language except for a couple of times and the story line is rather fast moving. I considered it rather enjoyable. And for those of you who don't know the story, it's about Norway High in Iowa and their final season before merging with Madison. They won 20 state titles before in 30 years (class A) before closing the school in 1990. By the way Sean Astin who played "Rudy" stars in this movie and directed.
November 30, 200916 yr Does Rounders count? It's a poker movie, my favorite of all time. I have never liked Rudy, It just doesn't do it for me. Caddyshack Varsity Blues White men can't jump The Sandlot are just a few that come to mind.

November 30, 200916 yr Playing poker, while a lot of fun, is not a sport, despite what ESPN and FSN would have you believe. :lol: I feel the same way, but to some it might be.
November 30, 200916 yr I'm not really a big fan of Rudy. It's OK but people make it out to be way better than it is. My theory is that it is Notre Dame faithful pushing on how great it is.
November 30, 200916 yr :lol: I feel the same way, but to some it might be. And they would be wrong. There is no physical skill in poker. At least with non-athletic sports such as golf, darts and auto racing there is some physical skill involved.
December 7, 200916 yr Hoosiers Rudy Cinderella Man We Are Marshall Seabiscuit The Blind Side Breaking Away (Little Indy 500 bike race) Radio The Express The Stratton Story Follow the Sun Otherside of the Mountain (Jill Kilmont skier, quadripledgic) Whatever future movie is made about Kenny Perry Another I hope is made is Twelve Mighty Orphans the story of a Masonic Orphan Home during the depression, who play football in the state of Texas, great book the Trend here is these are all based upon real events Non Fiction- Finding Forrester

December 11, 200916 yr Couple of movies I thought were pretty decent that were not mentioned: Talent for the Game Victory (not a soccer fan but a pretty good movie)
December 11, 200916 yr And they would be wrong. There is no physical skill in poker. At least with non-athletic sports such as golf, darts and auto racing there is some physical skill involved. Why of course! There is the physical act of "throwing" the dart and "turning" to "lift" the beer mug between each three dart series!!!
