I'm feeling awful sporty this morning! :sh
With the NFL just around the corner, and the MLB Playoff races heating up, I'm just in a mood to talk sports!

I was wondering what everyone's top 5 sports movies are.
Sometimes it's fun to see what other people consider a good movie, or for that matter, a sports movie! ;)

Here's mine.

1) Raging Bull
2) Seabisuit
3) Major League
4) Miracle
5) Cinderella Man

3) Eight Men Out
4) League of Their Own
5) The Sandlot
6) Mystery, Alaska (too good to leave out)

Everyone knows I can't count. :D

Only 1 real favorite for me-Field of Dreams. I liked it in the past, but it's a real tear jerker after losing my dad 3-1/2 years ago.

A few glaring omissions so far!

A little shocked no one has put "When We Were Kings" on their list.
And on the comedy side, no mention of "King-pin"

And what, no love for the Sly Stallone arm wrestling classic "Over The Top" :rolleyes: :r:r

Speaking of which, what about Tin Cup? If nothing else, it's one of the few Costner films not costnerized to death.

Gleaming the cube, is a great cheese 80s skater film. Riding Giants is easily the best sports film I have ever seen. I am not a surfer, but that movie really makes you want to get into it. Ping pong(Japan) is also a really good sports movie. Masters of stone 5 I a really great way to see the hard men who really pushed the limits of rock climbing. Lastly I would say any warren miller film from the early 80s. Really great skiing, and no lame pc sensorship of his humor.
