Greatest Sports Movies

My top 6 all time (in no particular order)
-Rocky V
-Sandlot
-Rudy
-Remember the Titans
-The Color of Money
-Happy Gilmore
I left some great ones off, which was tough. But ultimately these had to be on.

And saying poker is a sport may be stretching it, but I’d add Rounders

I have to add, Sandlot is really fucking terrible. I don’t get the love for that piece of shit. Not just Muddy, but otherwise normal friends of mine too.
It’s more hackneyed than the Little Rascals. I actually played sandlot baseball as a kid - that douche-chill movie almost makes me ashamed to admit it.
Rocky
Moneyball
Any given Sunday
Hoosiers
Miracle
Caddyshack
Bull Durham

I'm also a fan of the Creed movies, those were both better than I expected and I'm actually looking forward to #3.

So, having said that, it probably blasphemous to say this…
I don’t really care for Field of Dreams, Bull Durham or the Sandlot
The ones I watch over and over and over:
Semi Pro
Rocky IV
Major League
Not sure if these are sports movies but they’ve been mentioned already:
Rounders
Color of Money
I could watch these both on a continuous loop
Hoosiers
Major League
Remember the Titans
Caddyshack
One on one - a good basketball movie from many years ago.
Cinderella man - a good story about an impressive boxer living during the depression.
I felt the need to put on a Mighty Ducks but I forget which one was the good one. Knucklepuck baby.
And I love field of dreams but there's not too much baseball in it, but that end is great.
And if you want to say the first 4 rocky's belong on there, fine by me
I spent my adolescence in an Indiana small town, and it was really like that.
The Legend of Bagger Vance
Everyone has got to watch it. I just love the performances by Edward Norton and John Turturro. Well just about everyone. I never get tired of it
