My Top 10 Favorite
Sports Movies
I'm surprised I haven't done this one yet. I went back to my Top 200 Movies of All Time (Day 200, July 19) to speed things up. There are 19 sports movies on the list - not as many as some of you would have thought, huh!?! Ranking them in order is very tough, but here it is. (If you asked me to rank them again next year sight unseen, the order would probably be different.)
1. Hoosiers (1986)
2. Field of Dreams (1989)
3. Remember the Titans (2000)
4. Rudy (1993)
5. The Rookie (2002)
6. Rocky (1976)
7. The Sandlot (1993)
8. A League of Their Own (1992)
9. The Blind Side (2009)
10. The Pride of the Yankees (1942)
Note: The Top 5 were clear-cut. After that, it was close. Top near-misses: Hoop Dreams (1994), Seabiscuit (2003) and The Fighter (2010).
"Cinderella Man." Gets an "8" on IMDB and an "8" on Rotten Tomatoes. (Audience rating "8.8") Sure, it was a more gruff era, but it's a feel-good movie, even so.
ReplyDeleteThat's in my Top 200 and if I ranked my Top 13 next year, it might sneak in. I liked it a lot, too.
