As much as I love Caddyshack and Happy Gilmore, I just don't view golf as a sport...same as race car driving, be it Formula 1, Indy or NASCAR

I have to question everything when the Sandlot isn't anywhere on any of these lists.

I've read through the posts so far and I gotta question everything when there's no mention of Rudy, Brian's Song, Tin Cup, or Miracle..... and no mention of The Hustler, The Color of Money, Raging Bull, Sea Biscuit, 8 Seconds, or A League of their Own? ...... or no Days of Thunder, Breaking Away, The Express, The Program, The Waterboy, Varsity Blues, or Necessary Roughness?..... or no We are Marshall, Coach Carter, The Hurricane, Legend of Bagger Vance, Ali, Radio, or The Rookie?

You guys need to watch more movies. :D ....especially the opening poster. :tongue2:

I have to question everything when you're only question is the missing Sandlot. :p

Well, not the only glaring omission but the most obvious one to me LOL.

Ya I don't know how I left The Program out. That's probably my single favorite sports movie of them all. Omar Epps and James Caan were awesome in and it was one of the few movies to accurately portray the lifestyle of a major college football star. It was also filmed at Williams Brice field for those Clemson fans who can't stand the original USC and Epps and Kristy Swanson both also starred together in another good movie Higher Learning.

A league of their own was blah imo. Varsity Blues was another one of my faves I accidentally forgot about. How, I don't know. Ali Landry in a whip cream bikini will forever be etched in my mind :lol:

Swanson and Larter were the bomb! Watching all those actors age before our eyes just makes me feel old knowwhutImean.

I like how the campus and classroom scenes in The Program were filmed at Duke however. Guess they didn't feel SC's campus was worthy enough. :tongue2:

It was partially a Joe Dirt homage to his firework stand scene.

As opposed to Clemson not even being in rhe movie since they were not relevant enough :hide:

Baseball - The Natural, Field of Dreams, The Sandlot, Major League
Football - Any Given Sunday, The Program, Remember the Titans
Hockey - Slap Shot, Miracle
Basketball - Blue Chips, Hoosiers

I think of all of those, The Natural is probably my overall favorite.

There are a bunch of movies that I wish I were older (like 30+) when I first saw them, The Natural being one. Think I would've enjoyed 'em much better.

**** Rudy.

I do like Major Leagues and Cool Runnings
