My picks;
The Longest Yard (original)
Paperback Hero…awesome 70’s Canadian hockey flick
The Natural
When We Were Kings. Ali documentary
Rush. Formula One movie about James Hunt vs Nikki Lauda
Hockey - Slap Shot
Baseball - Field of Dreams
Football - The longest Yard (original )
Boxing - Rocky the first one
Bicycle Racing - Breaking Away
motor Racing - Ford V Ferrari
Olympics - Chariots Of Fire
Documentary - Broad Street Bullies (HBO)
I can always count on you…I left out Slapshot only for variety. Best sports movie of all time. Awesome choice with Breaking Away.
Football : Rudy , Longest Yard (original) , M * A * S * H (technically not a football movie , but the movie ending game is a classic )
Hockey : Slapshot , MR HOCKEY : The Gordie Howe Story ,
Baseball : 61* , Eight Men Out
Boxing : Raging Bull , Rocky 3
Golf : CaddyShack , Tin Cup
Raging Bull was second on my list. Cinderella Man third.
Really enjoyed watching Breaking Away it reminds me of that era in so many ways .
Slap Shot always makes me laugh , so many good lines .
I did forget one CaddyShack the best Golf movie ever .
Can’t think of too many others. Bagger Vance was ok.
boxing - Kid Galahad
Football - Heaven can wait
baseball - baseball bugs
My vote goes to Andrew Harris for best actor. Not many people can pull off the excuse he gave for his situation with a straight face like he accomplished.
Oscar worthy for sure.
Some great movies on those lists. While not my favorites, here are a few other notable movies
Football - Remember The Titans, The Blindside, Any Given Sunday
Baseball - Bull Durham, Field of Dreams
Hockey - The Deadliest Season ( A made for TV movie I saw way back in the 70s with Michael Moriarty and Meryl Streep of all people - Moriarty’s character gets charged with assault for an on ice incident)
Boxing - Million Dollar Baby, The Fighter
Soccer - Bend It Like Beckham, Kicking and Screaming
Good boxing movie picks.
Favourite football move - Rudy
Hockey movie - Slap Shot
Baseball movie - 42
Boxing movie - Rocky I
Other sport movie - Seabiscuit
documentaries - Senna
Boxing. Rocky, Cinderella Man, Ali
Golf. The Legend of Bagger Vance , Caddyshack
Hockey. Slap shot, The Rocket, Miracle on Ice
Baseball. 42, Eight Men Out, The Natural
Thought of another Canadian classic. “Face Off” from 1971. SCTV did an awesome spoof on that. I think it was called “Billy” John Candy as a goon on the TORONTO BAY LEAVES.
A classic for sure. Not as good as Pippi Longsocks though.
My dad’s favourite SCTV skit.
