angel, angel, angel -- Come on, man...

Bull Durham?
"Son of a <bleep> is pitching a two-hit shutout and he's waving me off... Charlie? It's the Deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well."

White Men Can't Jump?
"We're goin' to Sizzla... We're goin' to Sizzla."

I love Hoosiers, Rocky, and The Natural, but it's gotta be Hoop Dreams.

So far the poll favors Hoop Dreams. When Roger Ebert did a top ten show some years ago, he had Hoop Dreams listed in his top ten all-time. There is no doubt it was an excellent film.

I just happen to like all sports movies

.

There have been some very nice movies listed here.

Has anyone seen "The Fan"? - I was going to watch it at a friends house one night, but I fell alseep. - Is it any good?

If anyone would like an update on Arthur Agee and William Gates (The 2 stars of Hoop Dreams), just PM me, and I would be happy to share what I know

One of my all time favorite sports movies is Breaking Away (cycling).

(football) Rudy, Brian's Song, (original) Longest Yard. Heaven Can Wait: I remember as being one of the first football movies with realistic on field footage. Cool movies with football games: M*A*S*H, Horse Feathers.

Vision Quest (wrestling).

(baseball) Major League, Sandlot, Pride of the Yankees. I haven't seen The Rookie, but it's supposed to be good. I know it's hokie, but I liked Angels in the Outfield.

(basketball) Blue Chips.

Out of those listed, probably Coach Carter.

** I forgot Seabiscuit. The racing sequences are fantastic!

Just saw Million Dollar Baby. Very depressing and sad movie, but it's great. Not really a sports movie, but vey, very good. One of the Best movies I've ever seen.

Million Dollar Baby was a heartbreaking film. We would like to see the hero win, or at least fight back to a level of respect.

Nothing better than a chimp playing hockey.

But seriously,
1. Hoosiers
2. Any Rocky movie other and the 5th one
3. White Men Can't Jump
4. Remember the Titans
5. The Sandlot

Honestly, I didn't think Coach Carter was that bad.

Survey time: Who here has seen Hoop Dreams, but doesn't have that in their top sports movies? And why not?
