| Moderator Support Team   | The 50 Greatest Sports Movies (And Ten Worst) Of All Time I think we had a thread about this before, but it most likely got purged and dropped off the board. Anyway, in reading the latest Sports Illustrated (of course!), I found this to be an interesting, but good list. ~ 1. Bull Durham 2. Rocky 3. Raging Bull 4. Hoop Dreams 5. Slap Shot 6. Hoosiers 7. Olympia 8. Breaking Away 9. Chariots of Fire 10. When We Were Kings 11. Bang the Drum Slowly 12. Dogtown and Z-Boys 13. A League of Their Own 14. The Freshman 15. The Endless Summer 16. North Dallas Forty 17. Brian’s Song 18. Caddyshack 19. Downhill Racer 20. Requiem for a Heavyweight 21. Pumping Iron 22. The Set-Up 23. The Hustler 24. Searching for Bobby Fischer 25. Horse Feathers 26. The Bad News Bears 27. National Velvet 28. Eight Men Out 29. Rollerball 30. The Rookie 31. Baseball-A Film by Ken Burns 32. Vision Quest 33. Fat City 34. Everybody’s All-American 35. Million Dollar Legs 36. Jerry Maguire 37. The Goalie’s Anxiety at the Penalty Kick 38. Field of Dreams 39. The Harder They Fall 40. The Longest Yard 41. Remember the Titans 42. The Pride of the Yankees 43. Fists of Fury 44. The Deadliest Season 45. Grand Prix 46. Any Given Sunday 47. It Happens Every Spring 48. The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings 49. Phar Lap 50. Best in Show ~ Hmm. I heard of quite a few of these movies, but probably only saw less than half! [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] My favorites are #2, #36, #41, and #46. Here's the list of the ten worst sports movies: (according to the article) 1. Space Jam (the nerve- LMAO!) 2. The Other Side of the Mountain 3. Rocky IV 4. The Program 5. Days of Thunder 6. The Replacements 7. Players 8. Caddyshack II 9. The Kid from Left Field 10. The Legend of Bagger Vance ~ Let's discuss.

| Moderator Support Team  | WHAT!?!?! I really hope they're not talking about LL Cool J's Rollerball aka Worst sport/non sport movie EVER! And why is Jerry Maguire so low at #36? And The Legend of Bagger Vance is boring NOT bad. Its a great movie, actually. Sports (golf anyway) its basically a metaphor for life. Its not a raw "sports only" movie, its about life and pride... Pride of the Yankees should be higher. And where's Major League and *61??? They better recognize [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Space Jam is a movie for kids... They can't compare a KIDS comedy which contains KIDS humor to all the other movies. __________________ Maybe this time I'll speak the words of life, with Your fire in my eyes...

I guess some of the movies are remakes, but sorry, I am too lazy to write the year the movies picked were made. __________________ "...but I still like to think there is something about Pacey and me that no one can ever quite touch." | |||

| The Replacements rocked, and I echo that Major LEague should be in there somewhere. __________________ "I am way curious as to how a Best Rapper Alive contest can include the likes of Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em, Shawty Lo and Flo Rida, but not list lyrical geniuses Rakim, MC Lyte, Chuck D, KRS-One or Slick Rick."

| Master Fan  | I love 'Brian's Song' and 'Remember the Titans'. What? No 'Waterboy'? I liked 'Space Jam' back when I was in second grade. [img]smilies/look.gif[/img] __________________ | |||

| Field of Dreams is one of my all-time favorites! Classic! One of the few films Kevin Costner has been in that didn't suck ass. Quote:

Okay I'm not that good w/ these numbers but Rocky IV, is that the last one? If it is, I liked that one too especially the street fight at the end. 'Remember the Titans' is on my list as Top 5 great sport movies. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] *Edited to say: What, no Above the Rim? That's a good movie especially when there playing that last game at the playground. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [ 08-01-2003: Message edited Pat ] __________________ Forever.Begins.Now | |||

| What about White Men Can't Jump? [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img] I haven't seen that movie in awhile, and all I remember is Woody Harrelson getting hustled. And has anyone seen Ray Allen in He's Got Game? I haven't seen it myself, but I heard Ray-Ray was a decent actor. __________________ I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death. -Nas | |||

| Master Fan | Isn't 'Happy Gilmore' a golf movie? I'd much rather football over golf. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] __________________ | |||
