I don't want to start a new thread about the worst sports movie ever....... but I was technically in it. (One of the many thousands needed as filler at Hayward field.

"Personal Best" is my personal worst.

"ML SS FOD ALOTO TN" rearranges to "Almost Soft Dolt". Sounds like a character in most sports movies, or "Dolts most aloft", which sounds like the plot of many more...

I was an extra sitting in Oakland Coliseum bleachers in Angels in the Outfield. Never saw the movie.

???

Is that movie even considered good by...anybody?

 

[Shaboid]

Yup, that's hilarious. I laughed when I was 8 watching that movie and I'd laugh again today.

 

[Boomchakalaka2]

I don’t think that my favorite sports movie has been mentioned yet - Brian’s Song

[PtldPlatypus]

Where does this one rank?

Never seen it, but from what I'm reading, near the very bottom of the list

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Teen Wolf make the list already?

 

[Phatguysrule]

Where does this one rank?

I liked it as a teenage boy. Not sure where it ranks... But it's definitely worth the watch.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Obviously a great soccer movie!

Mr. Baseball

the sports parts were really good. Tom Selleck did OK. It was a bit dry, everyone thought it would be funnier. Put it on the Dramedy shelf.

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball

Greatest dodgeball movie ever made?

Oakland Coliseum was there in 1951? Did you get to meet Paul Douglas?

Where does this one rank?

Had a friend that saw it at the dollar theatre and asked for his money back.

Hoops Dreams tops many lists and cannot argue with it. Really captured why there are so many transfer rules and the high school basketball system.

Hoosiers will always be special to me. The small town politics of sports live on and it was pretty high back then in the Midwest.

Slapshot stands the test of time.

As said before, I still watch and laugh at Kingpin. Probably the most quoted movie by me as well as what I was known by in the Navy (Big Ern).

The Hustler and the sequel, The Color of Money

The Hustler was a great flick! Jackie Gleason I dont recall stared in many movies but he was super, in that one!
