What's your favorite Sports Movie? And why?

Picking just one can be hard, but give it a try! I’m looking for recommendations.

Almost impossible to just pick one. But for the sake of the exercise, how about Tin Cup? I’ve been a golfer my whole life from a small town, played in college, etc, so the golf and underdog part of the story really hits home. Kevin Costner is amazing and funny too, so yea, I would say this is one of my faves.

Bull Durham-A story centered around a minor league club with a love story for the catcher (Kevin Costner) with baseball and a veteran baseball ‘Annie’ (Susan Sarandon).

Rocky III- Maybe the best stylized boxing match in movie history…and Clubber Lang, “PAIN”.

“Remember The Titans” - It was the first movie my husband took me to when we started dating. Great cast, great characters, and a true story to boot, which is something I always enjoy. :blush:
