I'm building a mega-box set of Sports Movies

I haven't seen The Express. The Legend of Bagger Vance is OK, if you're a Will Smith fan then its worth a watch. Mr. Baseball is a fun little flick.

Several very good Baseball flicks have already been mentioned. Here's a few more.

The Natural



Field of Dreams



For Love of the Game



The weakest of the three Costner Baseball flicks but still watchable.

Also: Shaolin Soccer



Just a fun fantastic ride and highly recommended by me and several others I'll reckon.

If you can handle Sandler then The Waterboy is quotable. But a rather good film that hasn't been mentioned yet involving Football is The Program.



I've been told that Rudy is also good although I have never seen it because I hate Notre Dame.

I did not realize that MANY movies about sports! Wow. I am surprised no one mentions the most recent sport movie: Invictus

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. I dont know if it's really sport or not. I think it is really funny sport.

I think this is a really good idea by the way! Here's two more i forgot.

Would The Karate Kid count? How about Victory, starring Sylvester Stallone and Michael Caine? For a good satire, The Great White Hype.
