Bull Durham
The Natural
Bad News Bears
Baseball just seem better for movies, b/c they ate really about something else and you can do that better w/ BB than other sports it seems to me... though I always watch The Longest Yard (the Burt Reynolds one) if I hit it channel surfing...
Oh, Caddyshack isn't a sports movie - Happy Golmore and Tin Cup are - so it's not a golf I'd not a sport thing...
Bad News Bears was the first PG movie that I saw in the theater. I was so pissed when my parents wouldn't let me see
The Sting a few years earlier when all my older brothers and sisters did, and when
Bad News Bears came out I think I must have threatened a hunger strike or something because I remember them making an event out of taking me. Might have been Easter Sunday iirc.
Every single movie mentioned in your post is an all-timer for me though.
The Longest Yard (the Bernadette Peters one) always gets me, too, as does
Tin Cup. There's a handful of scenes in
Happy Gilmore that are always worth catching also.
I agree about
Caddyshack. I love it obviously, but don't think of it as a sports movie either, and I can't really explain why as compared with a lot of these.
