I just saw Angels in the Outfield...now that the Angels won the World Series they're going to show that movie nonstop until spring training.

I like Days of Thunder, also Field of Dreams is pretty cool, I've also been to the set where it was filmed.

Great movie, still funny today, even funnier with the fashions Paul Newman was wearing. The Hanson brothers are classic! ;D

I play ice hockey with glasses on too :)
but I can't believe they made a sequel...with Stephen Baldwin, no less.
Subject: Re: Favorite Sports Movie
Okay sue me, but "The Longest Yard". That was before Burt Reynolds became a butt with Dom DeLuise.

I agree, thats a great movie.
Subject: Re: Favorite Sports Movie
Say, IndyGent, I recall reading somewhere that you were in the movie "Hoosiers" for a brief period of time. That must've been kinda fun.

that is an obscure movie...but interesting, given that I've also seen it and like it...so maybe it's not so obscure after all.

Though I sometimes question whether the "pick-off play" at the end to get Griffey is legal...I mean, sure the players can get into the act, but the security guard? Talk about home field advantage.

I loved Hoosiers and Major League but being a guy I was almost ashamed to say a so called "chick flick" was my favorite sports movie, but I'm with ArchAngel.
Subject: Re: Favorite Sports Movie
The Replacements. God, I loved that movie!
Subject: Re: Favorite Sports Movie
My favorite 2 are:
-ACE VENTURA(PET DETECTIVE)
-THE WATERBOY

I would say very brief. I was in the stands at Hinkle Fieldhouse with the crowd cheering on the Hickory Huskers. If you watch carefully, I'm the one with the oversized, drab green shirt with the buttons on the collars missing. So it looks like a dove or something was flying into the stands. Yes, it was very fun to at least get involved in a big Hollywood production. My only complain was that my car was in the shop, and I had to take a bus downtown, then another one to Hinkle. Since there was no bus service after 7:00PM that Saturday, I had to call my folks to pick me up. Still, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. :)

Did you get to talk to Gene Hackman or Dennis Hopper? That must have been a great experience. I once met Robin Williams on Berkeley's campus when I was a student there and he was filming Patch Adams. Cool dude.

heh...its ok. It was a cool flick. ;)
Subject: Re: Favorite Sports Movie
Sorry :( I couldn't get near them or Barbara Hershey because of security. And besides, they were in the middle of shooting some key scenes. But I did see them and David Anspaugh, who directed "Hoosiers". And I did see the game winning shot.

Major League-1989....Only the first one though
Without Limits-1998...the story of Steve Prefontaine....not "Prefontaine" the lousy disney effort.
North Dallas Forty-1979 A look into the evils pro sports
The Longest Yard-1973 One of my favorite Burt Reynolds movies
and The original Brians Song-1971 the "New" one was just awful, IMHO
sorry....I couldn't give you just one!
Subject: Re: Favorite Sports Movie
Fastbreak and Caddyshack
Subject: Re: Favorite Sports Movie
I'd like to point out that "The Rookie" came out this past spring and was a really awesome and inspiring sports movie...I figure it has a shot at some of the major awards because it was just so well done.
Subject: Re: Favorite Sports Movie
Hoop Dreams was a great film, a documentary filmed over 7 years of two young athletes aspiring to go pro.
Also, caught the Longest yard on the tube again recently and that is a great flick.
Subject: Re: Favorite Sports Movie
I love baseball movies. So, I'd have to say The Natural and Field of Dreams. But there are a few other favs on my list. Brian's Song, Eight Men Out and Rocky.

My kind of woman ;)
And even though purists say the Natural (movie) did not end like the Natural (book), I think the movie was absolutely beautiful. What was that anyway, a 700-foot home run? Had to be to shatter the lights...
Subject: Re: Favorite Sports Movie
Did anyone else like "Wild Cats" aside from RiceCube & myself?
I don't believe it's an obscure movie. Just old. :)
Subject: Re: Favorite Sports Movie
I saw "Wildcats"; I didn't care much about it.
