    The Sandlot and Hoosiers are at the top of the list, no doubt.

    And I may be the only person in the world who loves Any Given Sunday.

    So you're the one!

    It's ok. I think I'm the only one who likes The Program. Well, I'd still like it if I could find a version with the guys lying down in the road. Kind of in the Replacements and Necessary Roughness category of stuff I feel embarrassed about liking.

    My favorites:
    Bull Durham
    Major League
    61
    Eight Men Out
    Hoosiers
    The Longest Yard (original)
    Brian's Song.

    If I have to pick just one, it's Bull Durham.

    This is not a plug for Double J's book but you can't even have a discussion about sports movies without including Slap Shot. I mean, it's top five in any list.

    "Field of Dreams" is, in my opinion, one of the worst sports movie ever made. Cringingly awful.

    "Eight Men Out" is fabulous.

    All the Marbles (yes it's pro wrestling, but I'm counting it. Besides, Vicki Frederick is hot)

    Plus some others that have also been previously mentioned: The Natural, Eight Men Out, Hoosiers, Bull Durham, Major League.
