Before you roll your eyes, sports is an important cultural institution and as a result there are numerous movies made about different sports every year....And some of them are actually good.
With that in mind what is your favorite sports movie or movie about sports?
Personally i think that Slapshot is the best sports movie ever made because of its sheer rewatchability and memorable characters.
This one is no contest. 2000's Bring It On. Cheerleaders never get enough credit for being such wonderful, amazing, adorable, ethereal,gilded, spinning, flying, sailing, soaring, shining, breathtaking, awe-inspiring, befuddling, unbelievable, fascinating, angelic, divine, awesome, incredible, graceful, radiant, and sublime athletes, and finally they got their due. That's not even to mention the very complex issues of race and morality that the film deals with, and, really, could solve all of the world's bigotry and ignorance problems, if only the world would watch it together.
And.....there's Eliza Dushku as a cheerleader. Not that that matters.....
I have not yet seen Million Dollar Baby, Hoosiers, The Hurricane, any of the Rockys, or most other sports movies for that matter, but I'm gonna go with my gut and name this one as the best one I'll ever see.
Yes yes yes Laslo!!!! Slapshot is the greatest sports movie ever made. Not just one of the greatest sports movies ever, but also one of the greatest comedies ever.
