Top Ten Sports Movies

This took some serious compromising, but we were able to come up with our top ten favorite sports movies. Here's what we came up with:

10. Victory...this is a soccer movie that Chris had to have on the list.

9. Caddyshack...if you have to include golf, this is the only option.

8. The Sandlot...you're killing me, Smalls.

7. Bull Durham...Costner usually doesn't go wrong with Westerns or baseball.

6. Rudy...for a couple of hours you actually like Notre Dame.

5. Field of Dreams...again, Costner in baseball.

4. Hoosiers...Hackman at his best.

3. Rocky...we can include 1-3, but past that it's just silly.

2. The Natural...besides being a good movie, it has the best soundtrack of all sports movies.

1. Chariots of Fire...nominated for seven Oscars, won four, 'nuff said.

What do you think we left out? Let the debates begin...

  1. Seriously, Caddyshack!! How about :

    The Rookie
    Remember the Titans
    Brian Song (it's an oldie but a classic!)
    A League of Their Own (since there are no women's sport on your list and you would not want to be accused of discrimination)

    Larry would definitely say Chariots of Fire but I wouldn't put it on my list.

  2. I said there were compromises! I would have put Remember the Titans for sure and possibly A League of Their Own. -Aimee

  3. You left out "Necessary Roughness". Anyone who's lived in Denton is required to include it on their list :)
