Uncut gems

With basketball and baseball covered, I feel like it's gotta be football to round it off.

Remember the Titans is always good. There's Jerry Maguire if you want that sports management angle. Personally I've got a soft spot for The Replacements, and Any Given Sunday has that amazing Al Pacino scene. And then there's Waterboy if you want a big tonal shift.

There's also Rudy or Knute Rockne if you can stomach Notre Dame.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Refrained from suggesting Rudy considering it's mostly just an ego puff piece commissioned by the guy himself. It's a fine enough underdog story "inspired" by real people, but knowing the backstory really diminished that movie in my eyes.

I didn't know that, it does really hype up Notre Dame though which is annoying enough.

In that case I say watch The Express.

Goon is a good choice, maybe Slap Shot. There's also Miracle or Miracle on Ice.

If we're talking hockey movies, I'd throw Mystery, Alaska in for consideration as well.

Major league

[–] B0NK3RS@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Remember the Titans.

I've never watched a baseball game in my life but Moneyball is a fantastic movie.

[–] Sambomike20@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Can't believe no one has said Friday Night Lights. That's a great trio of sports movies right there.
