October 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 30, 2011 -> 08:27 PM) So Milkman, you hate everything about chicks? Yes... Love Airplane, and Animal House is decently funny still.
October 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 30, 2011 -> 05:30 PM) I'm just the opposite. The only movie I find funnier than Caddyshack is Airplane. I've watched both hundreds of times and still laugh hysterically. ^ This.
October 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 28, 2011 -> 06:41 PM) Because it takes 500x the skill to golf well compared to bowling well? I don't think that's true at all. Each has a specific set of skills that are required to master the sport. Sure any joe blow can pick up a bowling ball and heft it down the lane or smack a golf ball down a fairway but at the professional level either one takes a lot of practice to really be good at it. I know the pros on TV make it look really easy but to maintain the averages/handicaps they do it requires a ton of skill. I've been bowling for about 25 years and usually maintain right around a 200 avg give or take 5 pins or so. The pros usually maintain 220+. Plus they bowl on much more difficult oil patterns.
October 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Oct 30, 2011 -> 05:08 PM) I've mentioned it before, but I don't find Caddyshack funny at all. I believe that it was hysterical in its day, but don't think it's held up over time. I'm sure many still find it funny, but I'd wager that is because they saw it when it was newer and they sort of can relive it. Seeing it for the first time decades later, I can seriously watch it straight through without laughing. I put it #1, but I really can't argue. I was a 16 year-old caddie when it came out. For me, it is virtually biographical (minus Lacey and the explosions).

October 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 11:38 AM) Very surprised to see Rudy and Hoosiers both outside the Top 5. Wow, me too. And the same goes for Slap Shot. I'm trying to figure out what the top ones will be. Major League has to be up there. Even though Rookie Of The Year is about the Cubs, anybody around my age has to have it on their lists.
October 31, 201114 yr What's the ranking system? It just seems odd that Rudy can be on 7 lists with 3 at #1, but Hoosiers is ahead on 8 lists and just one #1 vote.

October 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 11:50 AM) Field of Dreams has got to close to the top. Definitely. For some reason, I thought it was already on there.
October 31, 201114 yr I'm a little stumped as well outside of Major League and Field of Dreams. Sandlot? Remember the Titans?
October 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 12:50 PM) I'm a little stumped as well outside of Major League and Field of Dreams. Sandlot? Remember the Titans? Oh yeah, Sandlot is probably on there. I think Remember The Titans was already up there. I don't feel like sifting through it

I don't feel like sifting through it I just flipped through and didn't see it anywhere. I have to think it didn't miss the list entirely.

October 31, 201114 yr Sandlot and Remember the Titans, nice. These two movies I'm pretty sure I have seen more than any others.
October 31, 201114 yr Sandlot was not on my list. Remember the Titans was high on my list, and I was actually living near that high school when the Sox won the WS in 2005.
October 31, 201114 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 31, 2011 -> 05:40 PM) Sandlot and Remember the Titans, nice. These two movies I'm pretty sure I have seen more than any others. Same here. #2 & #3 on my list. They are on TV so much too, especially Remember the Titans. The soundtrack puts that movie over the top IMO.
November 1, 201114 yr Five people did not have Slapshot on their list. I will assume it was either because A. They did not see it or B. Five women voted and it definitely is not a chick flick
November 1, 201114 yr lol at the Sandlot being over Rocky on any type of movie list. Is everyone on this site 12 years old?

November 1, 201114 yr Here's my list as emailed to Knight: 1.) Rudy (pains me to say it, as I hate Notre Dame) 2.) 61* 3.) The Pride Of The Yankees 4.) A League Of Their Own 5.) Rocky IV 6.) The Wrestler 7.) Kingpin 8.) BASEketball 9.) Slap Shot 10.) The Waterboy 11.) Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby 12.) Field Of Dreams 13.) Rookie Of The Year 14.) Major League 15.) Eight Men Out 16.) The Sandlot 17.) Cinderella Man 18.) Little Giants 19.) Brian's Song 20.) Hoosiers 21.) The Hustler 22.) Miracle 23.) Raging Bull 24.) Cobb 25.) Remember The Titans If any of my top 25 are, for some reason, not considered sports movies, use these in order to replace any: The Babe Cool Runnings Bang The Drum Slowly Seabiscuit The Natural
