I like Rudy and Hoosiers, but I live in Indiana so I'm probably biased
>>
>>82730027
Bull Durham
Hardball
The Rookie
Bad News Bears

even League of their Own
>>
>>82730732
I'll give you those two. Rudy isn't really about the game of football though.
>>
>>82730027
Football:
Remember the titans
Friday night lights
The replacements

Basketball:
Hoosiers
Glory road
Coach carter
>>
>>82730027
Most baseball movies aren't really about baseball. They use baseball as a metaphor or symbol of the American dream. This can also be done with high school football.
>>
>>82730979
You forgot Any Given Sunday

Why can't soccer into kino?

>>82730979
I guess for basketball you could add

Space jam
White men can't jump
Maybe that one spike Lee movie
>>
>>82730915
Yeah, it more or less was just an underdog story while jerking off the lore of Notre Dame under the table.

Though living 3 minutes away from the campus, I can confirm the campus is actually beautiful and has a decent culture. I wish I wasn't an underachiever or I could have gone there tbqh famalam

McConaughey really started to step it up after this movie came out.
>>
Baseball makes Oscar Nod tier movies.
Football makes decent tier movies.
Basketball makes the occasional good movie, but mostly shit.
Hockey has 2 or 3 excellent movies.
Soccer has nothing, absolute shit. I'd rather watch a movie about Jai-Lai. and i love Soccer.
>>
>>82733926
Goon is my fuggin shit
>>
>>82731376

The Damned United is solid.
>>
>>82733926
Shaolin Soccer
>>
Boxing is the most kino sport objectively.
>>
>one of the best movies made

>about rugby

This sporting life trumps a lot of the ones you listed, while the sport is important to the development of the character, cliche stories don't get you far.

Can you include Eastbound and down with baseball as well?
>>
>>82735183
i loved it up until the bullshit hollywood ending.
they basically walk off into the sunset together, after the best scenes with their father and all the shit they needed to talk about, it was a weak cop out in my opinion
>>
>>82735453
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkimMjwfjrQ
just in case you think i didn't like it or relate to it, for me this is the best scene of the movie.
The film deserved better than that fucking weak ending.
>>
No-one else liked Bend it Like Beckham?
>>
>>82735589
yeah it was great
>>
>>82735542
that scene is super depressing. How would you have ended the movie?
>>
>>82731376
Because it isn't an american thing. And unlike american sports the majority that exist are based on real events.
>>
>>82735643
I would have had them talk to each other. The one thing they needed to do, Tommy let himself get almost fucking crippled to avoid what he was feeling that shit is insane. You do whatever you want to do but hurting yourself because you've been through shit and can't express it? You need help. Brendan too needed his brother.

That was the whole point they needed each other and we never saw them on the same page. That was the crux of the movie to me. To get them on a united front. Maybe that's too Hollywood as well i dunno, it's just what i wanted when i watched it.

>>82735589
My benis liked it.

All of them are inferior than the average Rocky movie.
Well maybe at the same level with Rocky V.

>it turns out Mark Richt is in this obscure movie

when your most notable cast member is a mediocre football coach... yeah.

Remember the Titans and Rudy are the best football film, and if you debate this you're a cuckold. Friday Night Lights show is better than the movie too.

>>82736264
>obscure movie

You couldn't be more wrong, I strongly recommend you to see this movie, it's a "life changer".
>>
>>82736255
nah, moneyball is better than all of the Rocky's besides 1 and 2
>>
>>82736468
>>82736181
I remember watching this after a middle school bible study (my parents thought I would make normie friends that way) like 8 years ago. It's basically a Christian Remember the Titans. I recall nothing other than that

Robert Aldrich's first movie about a baseball camp in Florida isn't great but it's pleasant enough. It's always weird when actors in their 30s are playing characters in their teens.
>>
>>82734724
It's a great movie of an amazing true story.

are you saying that you dont like kurt russell? If so, fuck you
