Can we talk about how good Goon was?

[Swiss Ultimate]

I'm going to watch the sequel soon, but this was probably the best sports movie I've ever seen.

[Seanny One Ball]

It's a good movie but "best sports movie" it certainly aint.
Alison Pill should never ever play a leading role in anything, especially not a fucking love interest. She has the face of a little boy.

Also I'm not sure it's a film that needed a sequel.

[Destor]

Space Jam is the best sports movie

[Blonde Moment]

Goon was pretty damn good but no Slapshot good. We'll see about Goon2 when I get a chance to see it

[Seanny One Ball]

The best sports movie is the The Benchwarmers

[Swiss Ultimate]

Goon was better than Slapshot. Hated Benchwarmers.

[Seanny One Ball]

If I was being serious I'd say the best sports movie is Tin Cup, Field Of Dreams or Rocky.

[Stickman]

I agree, The Goon was an unexpected good movie.

[Bad News Gertner]

Goon was really good. Haven't seen the sequel yet.

[Nicky Fives]

Goon was great. Goon 2 was alright. Greatest sports movie ever is A League Of Their Own.

What are the best sport movies by genre?

What are the best sport movies by genre?

Sounds like a spinoff thread to me.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I want to see Hockey live again. Good memories.

[Seanny One Ball]

If they get rid of the enforcer then Goon 2 may be the only sequel

[Danny Electric]

This thread just made me realise which film I recognised Alison Pill from when watching American Horror Story.

[Lock Jaw]

I know her from the HBO hit series The Newsroom

[Danny Electric]

Meant to say it was Scott Pilgrim I remembered her from .

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Goon was better than Slapshot. Hated Benchwarmers.

Frog Pussy!

[Swiss Ultimate]

Facts.

[Helmsphere]

I loved the Goon and have watched it many times on Netflixs.

But favorite sports movie is The Replacements.

I did love that film.

[Tom Guycott]

Goon was better than Slapshot.

Eh... slow down.

That's almost like saying CB4 was better than This Is Spinal Tap.

What is the best football movie?

[Lock Jaw]

Today I learned they called The Mighty Ducks just "Champions" in some parts of the world.........

Weird.......

Good pick for a sports movie, though

[mitchables]

They called the sequel "The Mighty Ducks" here also, it caused a bit of confusion for us as children.

[mitchables]

By the DVD era they were released here as The Mighty Ducks and D2: The Mighty Ducks though so it all worked out eventually

[Seanny One Ball]

I like Remember The Titans.

Goon better than Slapshot? You're about to cause a riot up here in Canada

[Seanny One Ball]

Slapshot is one of those Paul Newman films I always want to see but have never had a chance. I don't think it has ever been on TV while I was watching.

[Bad News Gertner]

Oh God, it's on all the time here in Canada

[Shisen Kopf]

Slapshit is what I call that crapfest. Typical Canadian unfunny nonsense. Such a lame movie from a lame country.

[Seanny One Ball]

I love Canada

[Seanny One Ball]

I picked up Goon 2 for £3 yesterday. It is not the film that the first one was, that's for sure.
It made me think though. I suppose it's trying to do a semi serious take on the enforcer in hockey and they could hardly celebrate smashing heads now what with CTE issue becoming huge news. It was a weird mixture of violence and disapproval and honestly the plot was just so thin. I've seen films held together by less but they usually had a lot of great scenes to distract you from the plot development.

You can tell that Evan Goldberg wasn't involved in the writing this time. I would advise Jay Baruchel to find a creative writing partner if he wants to try directing another film.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

How the fuck has the Sandlot not been mentioned? Or the Natural? Or Major League? You guys are killing me.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Well, it was mostly about hockey movies for most of it.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Oh....well fuck
