According to the article by Michelle Hill, she lists the top 6 best sports movies of all-time, fictional or non-fictional in this order. 6) Rocky III 5) The Pride of the Yankees 4) Million Dollar Baby 3) Brian's Song 2) Remember The Titans and 1) The Express. Out of these movies I have seen Rocky III, Million Dollar Baby and Remember The Titans and have to say these are good choices definitely, but lets look at some of my favorites. Slapshot, Caddyshack, The Natural, Friday Night Lights, We Are Marshall, Varsity Blues, Hoosiers, White Men Can't Jump, Coach Carter and Kingpin just to name a few.
Sports movies containing comedy, drama, suspense or anything else make for great entertainment. The Natural, probably my best sports movie, has that storyline with tragedy, corruption and a happy ending. What sports is brought out in a movie is just awesome and it tells how the people involved are actually feeling and you see it from their prospective.
We could probably learn lessons from watching such sports movies. Let's take Slapshot, for example. It is probably safe to say that it isn't a good idea to skate around a beat the hell out of the opposing team before the national anthem even starts or possibly take Kingpin, for example, Roy was able to get back to the PBA with a prostetic hand. I know this movie was a fictional as it gets, but the point is he didn't give up. I am sure there are many more sports movies I am missing and a lot I haven't seen, like Blindside and The Express. Many can take certain things from these movies and improve their lives immensely I believe.
