Top Ten Sports Movies

Top 10 Sports Movies

 


Bob Cook
, of msnbc.com has compiled a list of THE BEST ....

the Top 10 Sports Movies of all-time. 

"Rocky" is included in that list, and definitely would be included in mine. 

I'll give you his list. 

And then throw in a few of mine. 

Then let's see if YOU agree or if you have a few you can think of that should be in the TOP 10. 

I admit, I'm not familiar with Cook's # 9 (a made for TV movie) or # 7 (actually a Canadian TV series that will be out on DVD). 

It must be pretty good for him to include in the Top 10 "Movies of all time."  

And I'm just a slight bit "unglued" about his #3 ... just never did understand why people like that one so much ...





Here's his list:

 

 

Top 10 Sports Movies

 
10   MIRACLE   2004
  9   SOMETHING FOR JOEY    1977
  8   CADDY SHACK   1980
  7   THE TOURNAMENT    2005
  6   SLAP SHOT   1977
  5   BREAKING AWAY   1979
  4   BRIAN’S SONG   1971
  3   BULL DURHAM   1988
  2   ROCKY   1976
  1   HOOSIERS   1986
 
Now here is what I would like to substitute:


3 VICTORY 1981
4 FIELD OF DREAMS 1989 Brian's Song #7
9 THE NATURAL 1984
THE LONGEST YARD 1974 Honorable Mention
A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN 1992 Honorable Mention

 

 

And these two "sports" movies in classes all by themselves, the first being CLASSIC, and the second, being, just plain SILLY (you've gotta love it) ....   

                 
                         BAD NEWS BEARS     1976  

                          WILDCATS                 1986 


MY FAVORITES?   1.  HOOSIERS   2.  ROCKY   3.  VICTORY  

 

'>
           VICTORY  - Stallone, Pelé, Caine


So, what are your favorites? 


Do you have anything to add?
