9. Friday Night Lights (great)
10. Slap Shot (funny but overrated)

Where's "Coach Carter"? I liked that one. And no “Pride of the Yankees”? Did like “Caddyshack” & “Tin Cup”.
Where in the heck is "A League of Their Own"? Surely they could replace one of those "huh?"'s with it!
You're crazy-Field of Dreams... Classic. And what's wrong with you? You haven't seen Cinderella Man. Go to Blockbuster.
You haven't seen 'Heaven Can Wait' or 'Bend it Like Beckham??!' Baby, what is the problem?? I'm with jenna....go to Blockbuster!!
Gee whiz.....
OK, lemme chime in my own opinionated musings...
Slap Shot is NOT OVERRATED... it is a hockey ovie, which ain't big here, but there were so many fiunny things about that movie, least of all the Hanson Brothers...always laugh MAO...
Caddyshack--yes, a classic...
Bingo Long and Traveling all-stars: Richard Pryor, Billy Dee Williams and others are a black all star team, the movie deals with their lives and everything. A lot of comedy but also some drama... nice period piece of 1930s or 1940s...
A League of Their Own is a top ten, and a complete oversight by this deal.
Where is Rudy, and Remember the Titans. Geez, those are both way better than some of these.
Ah, man--that's RIGHT! 'Remember the Titans'...makes me cry every time.
I'm with 9:04. Rudy was the best. Everytime I see it come on I have to see it again. Friendships and determination.
Yup, my husband said, "Huh?? NO 'Rudy??!'"
I would have to agree "Remember the Titans" should be in the top 10
"Caddyshack" and "Friday Night Lights" are by far the best movies on that list.
You have to have grown up in Texas to really appreciate "Friday Night Lights."
without RUDY, that list is bogus
Sandlot, Though a kid show was a great sports movie!
"Chariots of Fire" should have been included, in my opinion. Athletes you can actually admire.
