What are your top five sport movies of all time. Keep in mind all sports. Even golf, bowling, pool, swimming, hockey, running, etc. All sports are up for this category.

When I chose my five, I asked myself which five would I stop to watch over and over again while channel surfing

My top Five:

1. Rocky
2. Friday night Lights
3. Million Dollar Baby
4. The Hustler
5. Hoosiers

Movies that ranked high (by me) but failed to make the list were:

Raging Bull (just missed it)
Cinderella Man (already two boxing movies on list
Hoop Dreams
Vision Quest
Kingpint
White men can't jump
The Natural
Major League

There are actually alot of sport movies out there. Well over a hundred, so five shouldn't be that hard to come up with. I'd like to see what others think are the best.

I totally forgot about Field of Dreams!! 5 is too short of a list. I keep thinking of other movies now that I've already made my post. Drat.

"Glory Road"
"The Greatest Game Ever Played"
"Fear Strikes Out"
"Field Of Dreams"
"Caddy Shack"

Five is definitely too few. I should have been able to put in "Raging Bull", "61*, "A League Of Their Own", "Hoosiers", "Heaven Can Wait", and many others listed by posters above me.

I gotta admit, I loved Happy Gilmore, with Adam Sandler, a send-up of the golf game.
LINK: Happy Gilmore (1996)

Field of Dreams, The Natural, A League of Their Own, and Bull Durham were also movies I liked a lot.
