Ceptorman Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 What are your favorite sports based movies? Mine are based on true stories and both based in Indiana....Hoosiers and Rudy. I give the nod to Rudy, great movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 4 hours ago, willland said: Rocky I wouldn't have thought of that, but it's a good choice. Time has declared it a classic and it has the most iconic recognizable music from any sports movie. Bill Conti wrote the score and it had a couple of classic tunes, Theme From Rocky, aka Gonna Fly Now, The Final Countdown, going the distance, Fanfare for Rocky. You can't have a great movie without great music, right Star Wars? I'll go with Rocky, the first one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's one of the best acting performances also. Didn't De Niro gained 60 lbs for that movie? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Big thumbs up for the natural, but I like most sports based movies. Bloodsport hasn't been mentioned yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshnich Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Bang the Drum Slowley is a great sports movie that rarely gets mentioned. Early Di Niro I think 1973 or around that that time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
