twenty-five favored sports flicks

November 15, 2015

entertainment weekly made up a list of twenty-five sports movies that score. and it's a pretty good list. i'm not opposed to it. but it failed to recognize some stories that are worth some recognition, and i felt inspired to make a list of my own.

the blind side
chariots of fire
chasing mavericks
cinderella man
the cutting edge
draft day
eight seconds
the express
fever pitch
for love of the game
glory road
happy gilmore
invincible
the karate kid
major league
miracle
moneyball
the program
rocky
rudy
saint ralph
the sandlot
seabiscuit
sixty-one
we are marshall

  2. Did I not see Field of Dreams on either list? I'd add that. And, Brian's Song (with James Caan and Billy Dee Williams, not the made for tv version).
