No love for Mystery, Alaska? wtf??
Another that has always been on my "I'll get to it" list. So...I'll get to it.
No love for Mystery, Alaska? wtf??
I don't need to make a list because @bergs made mine for me. Remember the Titans is a very close second to Rudy, but that damn Rutiger gets me every time, no matter how embellished it is.My tops:
Baseball: Major League (but For Love of the Game is a close second - the scenes where Costner is in Yankee Stadium and talking to himself are fantastic).
Basketball: Hoosiers (I grew up in a small basketball-crazed town so this resonates with me).
Hockey: Miracle (unless you're from Russia, in which case, Slapshot).
Football: Rudy
Hockey: Miracle (unless you're from Russia, in which case, Slapshot).
Obviously I'm a sucker for the inspiration / comeback / underdog story line. Who wouldn't be? This is sports and those are the best stories IMO.
I had a good friend that played minor league baseball and he mentioned on more than one occasion that Bull Durham nailed it (including the inability to say "c@cksucker" to an ump and not get ran from the game). Great movie - I guess I do out Bull Durham out in front of For Love of the Game but it's close. Costner and baseball, who woulda thought it?
I think you're missing an important genera that is sure to appeal to millennials.

I guess what we really need is @guinness to weigh in on this category...
