Thread: Best reviewed Sports Movies of all time...

Again, from Rotten Tomatoes:

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/featur...=1&mid=1003249

I don't know where Breaking Away is on that list, but it's not high enough.

^^^Nice Dallas, you have such refined taste.

#13 by the way. Just behind 'Pumping Iron.'

That was the worst list ever......

Bend it like Beckham was in the 20s and Caddyshack was stuck up there at 49? WTF???

I don't think that Caddyshack is a sports movie the same way the top rated movies on that list are. It makes fun of WASPy country club types, but it's as much about golf as Titanic is about sailing. That being said...

It's easy to grin
When your ship comes in
And you've got the stock market beat.
But the man with style
Is the man who can smile
When his pants are too tight in the seat.

All right, Pookie, do the honors.

That list is just terrible. Couldn’t even get through it. Love & basketball ahead of Remember the Titans & Rudy ended it for me.

#1 Bill Durham? What the heck?

Wow they have some obscure ones on the list... #8 "LAGAAN is a musical drama which tells the story of a central Indian farming village in 1893."

Step Into Liquid makes the list before The Endless Summer??

No Sandlot??
No Cincinnati Kid?

List sucks.

List sucks.

says the man with Mr. Met for his avatar. What, no cowbell man?

Every time I used to see Bull Durham come on cable I would quickly tie a noose.

That just goes to show how much I love Bull Durham.

Murderball was good, but not #2 of all time.

And "Pumping Iron" as #11? WTF?

Woah, no Sandlot? I'm not even going to read the list. It's flawed.

No Slap Shot in the top 10? I can't take this seriously. Although I would have Bull Durham in my top 5...along with Caddy Shack. Hey if a movie about billiards can be in the top 10 then certainly Caddy Shack can qualify as a sports movie regardless.

so there's no list? you just have to load each movie page individually? wtf?

Wow, rotten tomatoes makes people angry. This is a very sensitive forum it is.

People hate what they don't understand.

Seems like this list was made by a woman or something.

I still remember my disappointment as a young lad when my buddy and I rented Love and Basketball a few months after seeing He Got Game. We were all like damn, another Spike Lee Joint about basketball. That was the worst 2 boobless hours of my life.

How is Rocky Balboa ahead of any Rocky where he fights Chubbs, Mr. T, or ends the cold war by fighting a Russian dude?

Slap Shot deserves #1, Hoosiers is underrated too, Cool Runnings is the shit.

With dozens of other baseball movies how could they leave out the Sandlot? The Air up there deserves some love too. Angels in the Outfield was a star studded masterpiece. Over the Top is the best arm wrestling movie to date.

Wow that list was pathetic. They had Talledega Nights, but no Days of Thunder? WTF?
