One on One

I have been trying to find the movie "One on One" for years. That was a great hoops movie. It is good to see someone else remembers that old movie from the 70's. I remember the last line..."All the way with a red hot poker, I can go anywhere I want". My favorite sports movie of all time.

[Greyhound]

1. Raging Bull (Best Ever)
2. Hoosiers (watch it when ever it is on)
3. Million Dollar Baby (the ending is depressing though)
4. Cinderella Man (great ending)
5. Longest Yard (love the goal line score)

[OldSchool78]

in no particular order...

rudy
hoosiers
remember the titans
Rocky(s)
Friday Night Lights (just because it is my favorite and i'm making the poll)

those will be on there for sure unless a lot of you have a reason for them not being top 10.......

the next 5 can be like wild cards... (actually friday night lights is already my wild card pick) so here's a list of ones already suggested that we can pick from and by........ midnight on friday...... about 48 hours from now...... i'll set up the poll...

Coach carter
miracle
the replacements
a league of their own
sandlot
longest yard new
longest year old
one on one
raging bull
cinderella man
little giants
hardball
glory road
the natural
bull durham
for love of the game
blue chips
the replacements.....


these are basically all that have been suggested.....

and it needs to be narrowed down to 5 out of the bunch to add to the other 5 then I can set up the poll.... but feel free to keep adding new suggestions

[bball4life]

I agree, just couldn't break my top 10

Yeah definetely. Good movie, just not top 10 material.

[dfisch80]

What about The Big Green? I know, kinda weak...but I like that little fat kid!

[coachstew]

I thought the original question said baseball, basketball, and football. If we include all sports movies Cinderella Man would be either no. 2 or 3 on my list. A personal favorite of mine, that I'm guessing no one else cared for is We Are Marshall. I grew up in WV, and have two nephews who graduated from Marshall.

The original question said basketball, baseball, football, etc. I thought We Are Marshall was great!

[boobiemiles]

i thought we are marshall was really good too

[cornellalum]

i kinda like major league the first one the second and third were just awful sequels "Forget about the curve ball Ricky, give him the heater."

[bcherry8]

Little Big League, Friday Night Lights, Remember the Titans, Miracle, Radio, Hoosiers by default, Happy Gilmore, Waterboy, and both Longest Yard movies.

[bcherry8]

Little Big League: "You know what? I dont like your curveball, in fact, i hate your curveball. You wanna know why? BECAUSE THE DAMN THING DONT CURVE! Now when the catcher puts two fingers DOWN, you throw the ball as hard as you can! Understood, cement head!?"

[bball4life]

Bad News Bears? lol

[Snowboarder32]

We Are Marshal was pretty good, i don't think it was mentioned

[Snowboarder32]

We Are Marshal was pretty good, i don't think it was mentioned

[LivingstonCNTYfan]

Wildcats
Fast Break

There's a lot of good ones out there....................

Yeah I love that Movie Teen Wolf, The Basketball parts are as cheezy as they come, but it's still a great movie, didn't like Part 2 with Jason Bateman as a Boxer but the 1st one was a classic.

No Holds Barred- As a Big Wrestling fan still till this day I was a huge fan of this movie when it 1st came out! I was still a kid and a big Hulk Hogan Fan & of Course Vince McMahon brought Tiny "Zeus" Lister into the WWF and used him as a Wrestler a couple of times, either way Lister is probably better known now for his role of Deebo in the Friday Franchise.

As far as the Movie goes the Acting was awful and the plot stunk but It was entertaining that's for sure.

[Snowboarder32]

Semi-Pro...

[DSport]

White Men Can't Jump! Right after this movie came out everyone was hosting 2 on 2 touurneys and 3 on 3 tourneys. It became the cool way of having lots of basketball teams in tournaments without having a lot of participants.

[cornellalum]

murderball was a very insperational movie about paraplegics playing a form of rugby in wheelchairs more of a documentary than a movie but still.

[distancerulz]

basketball, baseball, football, etc what are your top 5 sports movies
I have not seen anyone mention "without limits" a prefontaine movie. Based on a true story of one of the best distance runners ever.
It's a good movie that would be in my top ten.

[boobiemiles]

i agree with that one.......
