There have been a lot of great – and some not so great – sports movies made over the years.
My personal favorite remains Slapshot – in part because I went to college in Johnstown where it was made – but Caddyshack, Major League and many other great ones are out there.
What's your favorite?

Patrick does Philadelphia!
Major League
Probably Hoosiers. Also, Breaking Away.
Hoosiers, and I'm not even a basketball guy.
Horsefeathers
I tend to like the football comedies... Necessary Roughness, The Replacements, and Little Giants.
Slapshot and Caddyshack are great and it may be all of the quotable lines that make them so great. One movie that isn't a sports movie, but has a hilarious football scene is MASH.
Slapshot, Caddyshack and Hoosiers would probably be my top three... Actually, Bull Durham would have to be in there... Youngblood was pretty good too... Man, it's hard to pick a 'favorite'.
All time favorite.. Remember the Titans!

i played baseball in college so "The Natural" is a childhood favorite.
however, Bull Durham and Slapshot have to be two the best ever.
a not-so-well-known and very good baseball movie is "For Love of the Game."
I have a small one in Pop Warner right now, so Rudy is a family favorite. Remember the Titans is definitely near the top.
Hoosiers!
Rocky IV, obviously.
do documentaries count? When We Were Kings was pretty fantastic. I'll toss in for The Natural too. Eight Men Out was entertaining and had a heck of a cast.
All time -- "The Natural"
Fav right now -- "Cinderella Man"
Two words.... Raging Bull, De Niro is the man.
The Hustler, The Bad News Bears, A League of Their Own, Tin Cup, Field of Dreams
Here's a classic...
"The Champ" with a young Ricky Schroeder (sp?)
Kingpin!
the first anonymous post was really hilarious. soaking with creativity
dale you still let the kids sit at the adults table?
Cinderella Man, The Fighter, Friday Night Lights
The Bird Cage
I second Raging Bull.
Scorsese, De Niro, Presci
People who say Rocky is better are stupid.
I have to go with The Natural. It had everything.
"Miracle" with the Herb Brooks speech at the end, tonight is our night!
Also, "Any Given Sunday" with Al Pacino giving his football game of inches speech.
Lot of great movies there guys. Keep em coming.
blue chips, he got game, and friday night lights
Vision Quest
little giants :-)
My favorite movie growing up was Bloodsport, and since we're on martial arts tournament movies lets not forget Enter the Dragon
My favorite is the Steelers super bowl highlight films.
The Scout. Featuring the legendary Steve Nebraska who could pitch over 100 mph, and was a great switch hitter.
Eight Men Out
Hellooooo!!!!! This is Steeler Country! How about Fighting Back, the Rocky Bleier Story with Robert Urich playing Bleier?
Okay, that was a home team pick so I'll go with one that probably isn't on anyone's radar... Running Brave, the story of Billy Mills the American Indian that came from obscurity, to win the 10,000 meter long distance foot race in the Tokyo Olympics.
Brian's Song
The Big Lebowski!
"F@ck it Dude, let's go bowling!"
Dale,
Any chance the Steelers try to sign Reggie Bush?
Why would they? They drafted someone capable of playing 3rd down back, which is all Bush is good at, and have Moore in case the lockout doesn't give Batch time to learn the playbook
No way it'll ever happen
btw, I choose Rudy
My favorite comedy is Dale Lolley's life. lol, what a joke.
Requiem of a Heavyweight.
Long Gone is the a classic!
Sandlot.
