So what's everyone's favorite sport movies? Rocky is definately up there. Along with Rudy and Remember the Titans. On the comedy side I like Dodgeball and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Discuss!

Rocky didn't really do much for me. I really liked Remember the Titans though, and of course can't forget Rudy. Funny though, because I was watching that the other day on HBO, love that movie.

Another one I liked would have to be Miracle with Herb Brooks and his college hockey team winning the gold in the Olympics against the Russians. That was a good movie as well.

There are a few sports movies that are just awesome. The Natural comes to mind. I always thought Major League was funny. Bull Durham and Field of Dreams I'll tyipcally watch if it's on.

I love The Natural film, but I have to say they changed quite a few things from the book, including the fact that Roy was nowhere near a perfect guy in the novel.

I've only watched Field of Dreams recently, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

For a good laugh, and just a hint of commentary on the game of American Football: The Replacements.
