Top Sports Movies

Ok, I realize that some of these don’t meet my criteria of what is a sport. But since most of the “normal” world does, I included them. My criteria for choosing the best sports movies of all time were: The movie must have a minimum of three memorable lines and must not include Emilio Estevez in the cast. I also eliminated any movie that had more than one Country, Disco, or Rap song on the soundtrack. Soccer is flat out wrong and should never be depicted on film, unless it involves Scottish Soccer Hooligans. Finally, I eliminated all movies that feature future Hobbits trying to play football at Notre Dame.

Field of Dreams –”People will come Ray, people will most definitely come.”

The Natural –”Pick me out a winner, Bobby.”

Bull Durham–”And when you speak of me, speak well.”

Caddy Shack –”We’ve got a pond and a pool. Pond would be good for you.”

Hoosiers –”Strap, God wants you on the floor.”

Slap Shot– “You brought your toys on the road?”

Major League –”You put snot on the ball?”

Eight Men Out –”Say it ain’t so, Joe. Say it ain’t so.”

Happy Gilmore –”During high school, I played junior hockey and still hold two league records: most time spent in the penalty box; and I was the only guy to ever take off his skate and try to stab somebody.”

The Sandlot–”You play like a girl!”

A League of Their Own –”By the way, I loved you in the Wizard of Oz.”

Dodgeball –”Dodgeball is a sport of violence, exclusion, and degradation.”
