I am absolutely Sports Movie fan and can never afford to miss any Sport Movie released and after watching them I then categorize them in 3 major categories, like some have been absolute crap and most are mediocre at best, but there are that select few that remain deep-seated in our memories.
A good Movie is the one which is stimulating, makes us think and learn many new lessons of life!! Thats what I consider a great Sports Movie. Well, either that or it has to be really funny.
Below are my Top 10 Sports Movies of all time. There are some popular Movies missing either because I dont think they are as good as everyone else, or because I havent seen them.
10. Major League I picked this up as this is a comedy one and according to me its certainly the best Sports comedy ever. Willie Mays Hays, Jake Taylor, Pedro Cerano, Rick Vaughn, and Jake Taylor somehow manage to band together to win the pennant in spite of their owner.
9. Remember the Titans This Movie is about how Sports can surpass the society norms. The unification of the black and white high school is successful only because of the bonds formed between the two schools on the football field.
8. Rudy This is one of its own kind and is about a kid who not only got into ND, he made the football team. Most people would have given up long before Rudy, and it is a testimony to his character for enduring and being able to live his dream.
7. Miracle This is my all time favorite, though initially I was a bit skeptical about the Movie. Usually they find a way to screw up history. But amazingly, Disney stuck to the story nearly perfectly. By involving everyone from the original team in the making of the Movie, including the late Herb Brooks, they made sure the Movie was accurate. I love having Al Michaels call the action; it feels like I'm actually watching the real game!
6. He Got Game Who could afford to miss this one? This Film records high school senior Jesus Shuttlesworth, the best college basketball prospect in the country, as he deals with pressures from his father and girlfriend who are trying to influence his decision for their own benefit. Ray Allen is the perfect choice for Shuttlesworth because Allen was Shuttlesworth in real life a few years before that. How many actors can make that claim?
5. Eight Men Out This is a kind of documentary Film, thats the reason why it is not popular with the masses but surely with the Sport loves community! The best part of the Movie was that they didn't try to dumb it down for Hollywood - they made a point to follow the story as it was told in the book.
4. Field of Dreams - This Movie, I feel should essentially be favorite among Sports fans and non Sports fans. Sports fans will love how they work in Shoeless Joe and other classic greats. Non Sports fans will appreciate the fantastic journey that Ray takes to build the field of his dreams. If you build it, he will come is one of the great Movie quotes of all time.
3. When We Were Kings I'm too young to remember Ali as a fighter, but this Movie truly shows his greatness. Forman is the superior fighter, but Ali uses his wit to defeat Forman in The Rumble in the Jungle, one of the greatest fights ever.
2. Hoosiers This Movie is surely the one which instills a feeling that nothing is impossible in this world! Nothing seems impossible after seeing Coach Norman Dale lead his team to the Indiana state championship.
1. The Natural This is on the top of my priority list and I own the DVD of The Natural, Ive seen it more times than I can remember. Yet, anytime I see it on TV I immediately freeze and watch. It captivates me like few Movies do. Roy Hobbs gets that second chance that we all want. He had the talent to be the best pitcher ever, but had it taken away by a mysterious shooter. Years later, he reappears as an outfielder and leads his team to the top of the league with his famous Wonder Boy bat.
