What would be your choice for these sports theme movies?

I have only seen Rudy and loved it, so that would be my choice. I also saw The Blind Side which was also a football movie that was based on a true story and really liked that one.

@chyna What would you name for your boxing movie, your basketball movie, and your movie with an alternative sports theme, car racing, tennis, skateboarding, boat racing, etc?

Football – North Dallas Forty or Heaven Can Wait
Boxing – Raging Bull
Basketball – Hoosiers
Alternate – (skiing) – Snow Job or Downhill Racer

Football: Varsity Blues or The Replacements

Baseball: A League of Their Own or Field of Dreams or 61*

Basketball: Hoop Dreams

Bobsled: Cool Runnings

Curling: Men With Brooms

Skating: The Cutting Edge

edit: I’ve often realized how much more I enjoy movies about sports than the actual games.

Baseball- The Bad News Bears
Football- Big Fan
Ice Skating- Ice Castles
Surfing- The Endless Summer
Basketball- White Men Can’t Jump It was that or Space Jam. I don’t really care for basketball.
Boxing- Rocky III

Football: Heaven Can Wait or M*A*S*H
Basketball: Hoosiers
Boxing: Rocky (The sequels were so bad, people forget how good the first one was)
Baseball: Field Of Dreams
Alternative Sport: MurderBall

Boxing movie: Cinderalla Man
Basketball movie: White Men Can’t Jump
Baseball movie: Bull Durham
Alternative Sport (swimming) : Swim Fan

I left out baseball – The Natural

I am surprised no one has yet picked “Talladega Nights: Ballard of Ricky Bobby” as an alternative sports yet; then again, maybe that is a good thing.

I liked that film.

Nah, @Hypocrisy_Central
I’d prefer The World’s Fastest Indian

I not see any of them, probably prefer Boxing movie. Like Japanese martial arts movie better.

I prefer boxing of these choices.

But of the OTHER movie genres what would you choose?
For
• A football movie (you would chose what?)
• A basketball movie (you would chose what?)
• An alternate sport, sky diving, swimming, skateboarding etc. (you would chose what?)

I hate sports that use balls. Baseball is most boring of all. Movies about swimming and skydiving bore me as well. I do not want to see skateboarding. I am a martial artist and powerlifter, so I like movies about them and related activities. There is a neww movie out that is a sequel to “Pumping Iron”, 1 and 2 about bodybuilding. I may watch it.
