Zen-like Todd Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 I'm sorry, I know people are going to throw things at me, but Varsity Blues is actually a very good football movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Did someone pick Rudy? Oh please save us. . Football: The Longest Yard. Not, strictly, a football movie, but, it had football in it. Baseball: Field of Dreams. Can't help it. I cry watching Old Yeller die and Costner playing catch with his dad. Crushes me. Basketball: The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh. Only because someone else took White Men Can't Jump. Pool: Yes. Pool. If golf counts, pool does too. And it's Color of Money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen-like Todd Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Ok fine... if pool counts...

Zen-like Todd Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Forrest Gump has football, ping-pong, distance running, etc. Hell, Forrest even makes it to the White House due to his mad baller skillz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Dude, at least you didn't say Prefontaine and watch it like my wife made me, asking, "Isn't that amazing." Yeah. A guy, running around a track is simply over the top amazing. Speaking of around the track, don't we have to mention Days of Thunder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen-like Todd Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Oooh.. Teen Wolf... good one. Hmmm.... I'm going to have to go back to Stallone then. Over The Top (what, you're going to tell me that arm wrestling isnt a sport?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Over the Top was super. I would like to offer honorable mention to Best of the Best, early Van Dam (Blood Sport, Kickboxer) and the immortal Gymkata. Anyone with the misfortune of seeing Gymkata will know what I'm talking about and share the searing memory of that wretchedly bad, but somehow enduringly fine film.

Zen-like Todd Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Hmm.... back to football. I wouldnt really say its a football movie... but... Lucas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZSkins Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Football - Semi Tough, better book, but still a good movie or North Dallas Forty Bicycling - Breaking Away Hoops - Fast Break, One on One Boxing - Raging Bull That's about all I can come up with off the top of my head. Many of the newer ones I haven't seen, but I do have to agree on Gymkata. Bad, but compellingly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
