"Rudy" was OK until I read the true story about it. It kind of took the shine off...

I agree with The Benchwarmers on the shittiest list. They could also throw The Comebacks in there, too. Jesus Christ, those were painful. I couldn't make it halfway through either one of them.

Some good ones in there, Scoot. I forgot about The Pistol. That's a great movie. I was telling someone about it a few months ago. You can also add a movie called "The Goat" in there too. It's about some playground legend named Earl Manigault. Don Cheadle plays him in it. Supposedly he could do stuff like David Thompson -- take money off the top of the backboard and stuff. He got into drugs though. It's a good movie.

oh cool!!! i'm gonna go rent that movie this week. I like Don Cheadle.

David Thompson was so underrated for his day kinda like a Micheal Jordan with his fast ball handling skills and crazy shots he made.

also could you just imagine how many points Pete Maravich would've racked up if he had the 3-point line in his day! I truly believe he was the greatest player(atleast in the top five). But then again his alcoholism kinda took over his career, too..

For Love of the Game was EXCELLENT!!!

[Big Studly]

all lists should be updated to include The Express. That was one good fucking movie. Even my 6 year old with ADD stayed focused the entire time.

serious question, did you really like Color of Money better than The Hustler? Maybe it's my dislike of Tom Cruise that has my opinion skewed.

[bert89coupe]

baseball guys, i didn't see Talent for the Game on anybodies list. Has anybody seen that one? I thought it was pretty good.


and i had forgotten how funny Major League and White Men Can't Jump are until i watched them again a couple of weeks ago.

[RyanB]

I watched them back to back about 10 years ago. I did like The Hustler, and it was more historical imo, but Color of Money had more one liners and a little more action/short scenes that made the movie flow better and with better pace. Plus you get full frontal!

LOL, i've never seen the movie version, only the tv version. I'll have to check it out again.

The Hustler with Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason is pretty good for a really old movie

Plus you get full frontal!Word. I watched The Color of Money first several times and then The Hustler a few times. The Hustler is a great movie, but it seems like the acting in every movie from that period is just dry. Either way, Paul Newman was a pimp. RIP :(

[bert89coupe]

tv version?

yes, tv version. You know, the one the play on AMC? He mentioned full frontal and i've never seen that on AMC lol

"the express" was pretty decent but seemed to be a quickly made movie not to say that most sports movie's aren't

[CTs2fast96GT]
