Re: Your Top #5 Sports Related Movies
I thought I saw Cal Ripken in the movie too. It goes to show you that my brain store baseball player information better than actor information.

Re: Your Top #5 Sports Related Movies
1) Slap Shot (I've got to think, if this isn't on anyone's top 5 list, they simply haven't seen it... and/or hate hockey.)
2) The Rocket - Maurice Richard
3) Bull Durham, The Natural
4) Field of Dreams, Eight Men Out, Major League, League of their Own
5) Caddyshack, Sudden Death (OK, not because it's a good film, just because.)
6) All the others.
Pretty sure Raging Bull should be up there. And I still haven't seen Miracle and 61*.
Worst) Most of the Rocky's from 2-11, or whatever the last one is. I get them mixed up, there may have been another decent one in there. Also the Mighty Ducks series, Cool Runnings.

Re: Your Top #5 Sports Related Movies
1.) Ace Ventura Pet Detective-Dan Marino is in it. That automatically gives it #1
2.)Major League 1 & 2-I like 2 cause it was shot in Baltimore.
3.)Rudy-Good heart warming story!
4.)Fever Pitch-Though I'm an O's fan, my wife is a Red Sox fan and it sounds girly, but its a perfect date movie!
5.)The Longest Yard(Remake)-That movie is just hilarious!
Honorable Mention-Unneccesary Roughness, The Waterboy, Mystery Alaska, and The Benchwarmers.

Re: Your Top #5 Sports Related Movies
Awesome topic! Great choices by everyone so far, any one of those movies could make my top 5.
1. Field of Dreams (I love my Dad, I love baseball and I can relate to the story)
2. Fever Pitch (My wife says the Jimmy Fallon character is a lot like me and I'm a Red Sox fan too. Oh, and I have always loved Drew Barrymore! )
3. Cobb (I really liked Tommy Lee Jones as Ty in this. Great story about a great player)
4. Eight Men Out (I've always been fascinated by the Black Sox scandal)
5. We Are Marshall (The whole campus chanting scene gave me goosebumps)

Re: Your Top #5 Sports Related Movies
Love the One liners:
Field of Dreams;
You know we just don't recognize the most significant moments of our lives while they're happening. Back then I thought, well, there'll be other days. I didn't realize that that was the only day.
Rocky;
Yo Adrian, go make the meat.
Caddy Shack;
Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now, about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac... It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole!
Fever Pitch:
During a discussion over Red Sox seats - Ben, do you find my wife attractive? Cause we could work something out.
Ace Ventura:
When Ace discloses that Lois Einhorn is actually a man, every cop at the scene has the bad beer look on their faces.
