A Flurry of Guy Opinions

Political Candidates, Sports Idiots, Bombs in the Middle East, when will all the BS end? Not sure, but here's a good opportunity for a break and points for discussion - Thew's Top 10 Sports Movies!

Not in any specific order.

Hoosiers
Caddyshack
Friday Night Lights
Remember the Titans
Bull Durham
Slap Shot (I still have my Hanson #17 jersey!)
Major League
Pumping Iron
Million Dollar Baby
Raging Bull

No, Happy Gilmore didn't make it.
Neither did A League of their Own, which was a good movie but not top 10 material.
The Natural was too schlocky for me.
Brian's Song was a good movie, but ultimately missed the cut.
Rocky? An easy choice, but Raging Bull is more visceral, and DeNiro is head and shoulders above Sly as an actor.
Cinderalla Man was THIS close, but Million Dollar Baby was ultimate more enjoyable and kept my attention better.
Tin Cup was a fun movie, but Caddyshack ("big hitter da lama") is the "cinderella story outta nowhere", and is the classic golf movie.
Dead Solid Perfect is another good movie, enjoyed with popcorn and beer at Tilam's casa so many years ago, but it was too dull at times.

*************
