List sports movies you've seen and give them a rating 1 to 10 along with your comments on the movie.
Here's my list:
10 Rocky: I'm not just giving this a ten because it was about me. I thought this was a great movie.
10 Rudy: A movie about an overachiever. Rudy was small dude with no athleticism who managed to barely make the cut all four years at Notre Dame. This was back when Notre Dame "owned football". Excellent movie!
10 Cinderella Man: Another movie about boxing. This one is based on a true story and it is a very well made movie. Stars Russell Crowe, Renee Zellweger and Paul Giamatti.
ps I could have kicked his ****.
10 Hoosiers: Have you ever seen a Gene Hackman movie which was not good?
9 Miracle on Ice: I would probably give this movie a lower score (7) if it wasn't for the fact that it is based on a true story. Kirt Russell is the star of this movie and it is by far his best performance ever.
9 The Natural: A baseball movie, staring Robert Redford, set back duing the World War 2 era. I almost want to give this movie a 10 but, I am a tough grader.
9 Angels in the Outfield: This is a movie for the whole family; the wife and kids will like it, it's a fun movie.
8 Tin Cup: My favorite Kevin Costner Movie.
8 Bull Durahm: Another Kevin Costner movie.
8 Chariots of fire: This movie almost inspired me to become a runner back when I was a kid. I hate running just for the sake of exercize. Basketball? Yes. Football? Yes. Running track? Hell No. However, this movie made me stop and think long and hard about it. For about 5 seconds.
7 Rocky 2: C'mon you guys, admitt it, you almost shed a little tear when I beat Apollo Creed for the title.
"Yo Adrian, I did it"
7 Jerry Maguire: Another movie with Renee Zellweger (I like her). This movie also has a few comeos of real sports stars (Drew Bledsoe and others)
OK, thats a good start. Perhaps I'll add more later.
Some movies I didn't care for:
Eight Men Out
Remember the Titans
The Fighter
Ok, what say you?
