ESPN's 25 Best Sports Movies
 

They don't have a list on the website yet, but I just watched it. What do you guys think (if you've seen it).

IMO there are probably too many new movies in it, ie Bend it Like Beckham. Is Tin Cup more of a sports movie or a romance that just happens to be sports oriented...


Some key ones that I never would have thought of, but definately deserve it...Major League...

A few I didn't even know were sports movies? Finding Forrester, Searching for Bobby Fisher (Honestly, Chess isn't a sport, every one of these 25 count downs has a BS one like this).

The main one that I am dissapointed did not make the list was Prefontaine, that is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen (ok I'm biased, but still). That surprised me, really. It could be that there were two movies made about him, but one was clearly really good compared to the other one. Also, no Rocky movies made it, two other boxing ones did, but I think Rocky was a pretty cool movie.

I didnt see it but if Bull Durham wasn't #1 then the list is wrong

Rocky didn't make it?

If you think that list is shitty, try looking that the ESPN world football (soccer) club top 25

Yea I would care about that list if I knew about world cup soccer

If any Kevin Costner baseball movie makes it it's crap

Was Caddyshack in it? Cause if it wasn't :nono:

And Prefontaine was good, but Without Limits was better I rekon.

If Bull Durham isn't in it, the list automatically has NO credibility

Bull Durham was in it, it was top five I think.

1. Hoosiers
2. Raging Bull

6. The Natural
Chariots of Fire

Yeah Field of Dreams was great. I wouldn't blow off the list right away if it wasn't top 25 though.

Field of Dreams was garbage.

Eight Men Out is the best baseball movie ever

Was The Program up there?

I wasn't too fond of the Natural either, but I think thats mainly because it was so old, we watched it in school, and I didn't relate to it.

What was The Program about? It sounds familiar, like it was on the list, but im not sure without knowing what movie it is.

The Program was areally cheesey movie about college football

I still love it though

KILL EM ALL AND LET THE PARAMEDICS SORT EM OUT

Also, I'll give it up for Hooisers...that movie is sick

The Program = :y:

It needs the original Slap Shot.

I totally forgot about this one, but I honestly think the Mighty Ducks could fit this category. I don't know about elsewhere, but if you live in Minnesota you love that movie.

Did they seriously leave He Got Game off that list? There's only 2 or 3 on there Id say are as close to as good as that one

Isn't that list a couple of years old?

If by old you mean Tuesday, then yes.

They did a similar list a couple o years back. Bill Simmons wrote the best article I've evr seen asking why The Karate Kid wasn't in it.

Maybe you are thinking of the Sports Illustrated list?

Maybe I'm not. Bill Simmons works for ESPN and it was him and his co workers who picked the list.

The reason Rocky and some others didn't make the list is it was a top 25 of the last 25 years. Hence all the "recent" movies.

I bet those damned Aussie's don't like it
