Re: Your Top #5 Sports Related Movies
Just saw the request to put them in order. If forced to, I'd say:
1) Rocky - when I was young played a role in helping me believe was possible if you believe and work hard.
2) Brian's Song - first movie that ever made me cry.
3) Field of Dreams - love the mix of the supernatural into the story line.
4) Jerry Macguire - loved his commitment to his beliefs and convictions.
5) Raging Bull - being Italian-American, I can't help but like De Niro and Pesci.

Re: Your Top #5 Sports Related Movies
1. The Natural
2. The Replacements
3. Remember the Titans
4. Youngblood
5. Net Worth (The noteworthy thing about this rather obscure Canadian movie is that it talks about Ted Lindsay's involvement in the formation of the player's union. In one scene the actor portraying Ted Lindsay gets into a fight with a Toronto Maple Leaf. As he is ushered to the penalty box, he is heckled by 3 fans. The fan on the far right of the shot is...TED LINDSAY. Ted is a personal friend of mine and one of the most gentlemanly people I know. He sure played the game with a passion that few have.

Re: Your Top #5 Sports Related Movies
Great topic! My remote control suddenly stops working whenever I run across a sports movie while channel surfing. It's hard to name just five. I wish we could have named 10.
1. Field of Dreams
2. Rudy
3. Bad News Bears (the original with Walter Matthau)
4. Heaven Can Wait
5. Jackie Robinson Story
Kind Regards,
Ron.
