The Beeze's Top 20 Sports Movies

I was going through all the crap I have posted at Sporting News today...Well not all yet...But as I was deleting stuff, I kept a few to re-post here...The following was the 4th thing I posted there, and it got a little buzz about the Beeze going...I have kept it all the same with the exception of removing two golf movies and replacing them with better movies, about contact sports...I rather see a guy get clubbed, then see him swing a club...

Movies are a big deal in my house. My lovely wife was a film major, yet she hadn't seen the The Godfather until she hooked up with me years later. This first made me ask... "What the the Hell kind of school did you go to?" (Edinboro University) in PA....Keep your kids away from that place....So after I made her watch some of the classics, then we headed into the sports movie collection....She could have saved a lot of money if she would have attended the UNIVERSITY of the BEEZE.

Now before we get into the list of the top 20 sports movies, let me be clear on a few things....There will be no auto racing movies....I don't pay attention to it, so I don't feel I can objectively comment on the movies made about it....There also won't be any Will Farrell movies...He's funny, but I'm just not a fan of his "sports" movies....If you want to see a tall white guy rockin' a fro, check out Chevy Chase playing for the Lakers in Fletch...Alright here we go....

1. RUDY: If you aren't moved by this true story, than you either don't have a soul, or really hate Notre Dame. Oh wait,...I think those two things go hand & hand.

2. Slap Shot: What is understood doesn't need to be discussed.

3. Bull Durham: How can you not love Crash Davis and his speeches?

4. Miracle: Seeing what made me a hockey fan turned into a movie was awesome.


5.Friday Night Lights: Great book, great movie.

6. Hoosiers: I'm not a big basketball fan, but I'll watch it when ever it's on. Great movie.

7. The Rocket: I was blown away by this movie. The true stories are always the best. If you want to know about old time hockey...Watch this flick!

8. Rocky: Just the first one. Not all that other crap. The first one is a classic.

9. Youngblood: Who wouldn't want to have tea with Ms. McGill, and then go and bang the coaches hot daughter?

10. The Natural: Great movie, but the book was better. Would you like me to ruin the book for you?....He struck out, and then he DIED. He really freakin' did.

11. Raging Bull: Classic. That's all I can say.

12. Eight Men Out: Everyone talks about Shoeless Joe Jackson, but Buck Weaver really got screwed.

13. Long Gone ; Another minor league baseball movie, but a good one. Plus Virginia Madsen when she was young and hot.

14. Go Tigers: A documentary on just how insane people are in Ohio about their high school football.

15. Remember The Titans: Great cast. Great story. Quickly becoming a classic!

16. Mystery Alaska: Yeah it's cheezey. So what. I'd love to score one of those jerseys.

17. Major League: The only place you can you see the Cleveland Indians win is the movies.

18. Field of Dreams : Sure they try and make you cry, and Ray Liotta is playing Shoeless Joe wrong handed, but what the hell.

19. We are Marshall: Another true story, another great movie.

20. I'm trying to narrow it down, and I'm thinking do I really put the only soccer movie I've ever watched on. Do I go with 61. Do I go with some odd $h!t. Screw it ........ 20. The Bad News Bears: The old or the new, I don't care. I liked them both.
