“You punch like you take it up the a**”-Jake LaMotta…how is Raging Bull not on here? Props for recognizing Vision Quest as one of the greats and I would put Finding Forrester on here too as a bench player over Bad News Bears

Gotta at least put “The Natural” and the legendary performance of John Goodman in “The Babe” on the bench.

Major League very much overrated…it may be fun to watch on a Sunday along with The Replacements but shouldn’t be on the list (and I know Kool loves Keanu). Bull Durham may be overrated but still a better movie.
Brian’s Song and Bang the Drum Slowly have to be on there.
Great call on Vision Quest but the over all rankings need to be revisited.
Honorable mention… check out It Happens Every Spring

I’m a big hockey fan so I would include Young Blood. A young Rob Lowe and a cameo from the late Peter Zezel.

Brian’s song needs to be on there. Tells a great story about a story many don’t know.

Raging Bull could also be on there if you want a boxing movie instead of Rocky

good job guys, top three are perfect. couple left off the list though, one of my favorites The Natural?? one of the best endings ever to any movie. also i am suprised dave’s love for hayden panettiere didnt force remember the titans in there, keep it up kul. you guys should do a not so top ten such as rookie of the year, space jam, angels in the outfield ect.

I’d like to add such films as “Bang The Drum Slowly”, “Blue Chips”, and “Little Giants”. If they could combine the beginning of “The Last Boy Scout,” the middle of “The Mighty Ducks”, and the end of the first Naked Gun movie, now THAT would make one hell of a movie.

Very good list. Nice to see one of these things exclude Bull Durham, seeing as it is a stupid overrated piece of garbage. I co-sign whoever mentioned White Men Can’t Jump… probably not one of the ten BEST, but it was a really hilarious piece of work despite the Rosie Perez’s horribly annoying portrayal of Gloria. “BEEEEEEELLY! HOW YOU LOSE THE MONEY, BEELLY?! I WAS GONNA GO ON JEPADEE WIT DAT MONEY! YOU SO STOOPID!”

Not a fan of Hoosiers at all, I was forced to watch it by my basketball coach who knew nothing about basketball or coaching. Anyway what about Raging Bull… not as uplifting but still great. And Im a big fan of White Men Can’t Jump.
