My ten favorite sports movies:
10. Chariots of Fire - Beautifully choreographed film about sports competition.
9. Jerry Maguire - Touching story about being all you can be.
8. The Pride of the Yankees - Its over dramatized, not-too-factual, overly emotional, but it works!
7. The Longest Yard - Very funny football flick that makes ya feel good.
6. Seabiscuit - Underdog, little horse that did it all. A wonderful story.
5. A League of Their Own - Touching (true) story of overlooked athletes.
4. Rocky - Hokey and predictable, it'll get ya cheering for the underdog (in all of us).
3. The Hustler - Wonderful drama with Paul Newman at his best.
2. Raging Bull - Fantastic portrayal by DeNiro as a self-destructive fighter.
And my favorite sports film ...
1. Field of Dreams - Emotional story about resolving issues of your life, with baseball as its backdrop.
