20-to-1: Greatest Sport Movies

Postby Magpiespower » Thu Jun 17, 2010 7:46 am

Now, I know not to expect much from arguably the dumbest show on television...

But how can any greatest sports movies list NOT have Raging Bull?

Never expected great sports movies like Slap Shot or Hoosiers to get a run.

But no Raging Bull?

:shock:

Rocky predictably topped the dodgy list which also included...

Chariots of Fire
Cool Runnings
Jerry Maguire
Million Dollar Baby
Blades of Glory
The Club
A League of their Own
Everyone can eat s#!t! A big bag of s#!t! I'm the greatest man in the world!

Sounds like a new game plan for the Socceroos :lol:

Had the trilogy on VHS for years, then earlier this year got the trilogy on DVD for $25 then watched them all back to back (sounds like a Sharon Strezlekki hens night).

No Happy Gilmore or White Men Can't Jump?

Best scene from a sport movie has to be from Varsity Blues surely? :D

2, 1, Balboa, 3, 4.................................................................................................5

Balboa, 3 and 4 are about equal for me though... with balboa just pipping them at the line..
