Top 5

// September 3rd, 2009 // Top 5's

In light of football season starting, I decided to make this new top 5 list. I would also like to know yours.

Top 5 Favorite sports movies

1. Million Dollar Baby

2. Field of Dreams

3. Raging Bull

4. Rocky

5. Hoosiers

** I realize that ‘Million Dollar Baby’ and ‘Raging Bull’ are not necessarily sports movies. They are human interest films that happen to have sports in them. But since they include sports, I include them. Also notice that ‘The Wrestler’ is not on this list. It falls into the category of Raging Bull and Million Dollar Baby in being more about the characters and the sport is just a backdrop. But The Wrestler has so little of the “sport” in the movie that I can’t include it here. I know this sounds like a giant double standard thing, but hey, I don’t have to explain myself to you.**

    Sandlot, too. Probly isntead of Finding Forrester, since that isn’t a sports movie.

    I forgot about my most favorite! Number one for me is Wimbledon. Which kicks Sandlot off the list. So…
    Wimbledon
    Miracle
    A League of their Own
    Remember the Titans
    Legend of Bagger Vance
