Top Sports Movies of All Time?

[marc]

Eight Men Out, Field of Dreams, Hoosiers, Rudy, beyond that, I'll have to think a while.

I've never seen The Natural.

The Longest Yard
Remember the Titans
Rudy

Okay, I forgot The Hustler.  I thought of Bang the Drum Slowly, but it's been too many years since I saw it.  *61 moved me to tears, but I wasn't sure it qualified, since it was techinically made for TV.  

Hey, Signs involved baseball ("swing away").

Honorable Mention: Rocky didn't make it cuz he sold out.  The Hustler, Breaking Away, Tin Cup.

Worst sports movie ever:Varsity Blues  It's not even close.  Not only did it NOT portray Texas HS football realistically (the stadium was too small and the ending way too far-fetched), it used California rules for the games in the movie.  Gag!  What?  They couldn't find an NCAA rule book?

Sorry Jerry.  :)

So you consider golf a sport?  Or maybe gopher hunting?

Does anyone think \"Miracle\" should be added to this list?  Personally , I don't.

I hadn't even thought about it in those terms.  I guess time will tell how I feel about it.
