The GREATEST sports film from the USA

[Stat Brother]

Is on film 4 this evening.
Somewhat unfortunate to be clashing with an acutal meaningful England game on terrestrial television (what are the chances of that).

But nevertheless, ladies and Gentlemen I give you:-

The Bad News Bears.

Ok so I might have slightly oversold it, in the title, but it can't be to far away.

 

[defrocked priest]

Yep, the best hooligan film ever made is " The Bad News Bears".

 

[Easy 10]

Surely Cool Runnings HAS to claim the title of Greatest USA Sporting Film of All Time.

After thats, its Tin Cup.

 

[Frutos]

Has to be Rocky.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

That was on the Film 4 channels (I think) over the weekend. Surely nothing beats Escape to Victory anyway.

Actually I forgot about Cinderella Man. I'm going to change my mind.

Cinderalla Man is The Greatest USA Sporting Film of All Time.
Followed by Cool Runnings, Tin Cup, Raging Bull and Rocky III

 

[Hotchilidog]

Any Given Sunday has to be on this list.

 

[MattBackHome]

Raging Bull, non?

I know it was slated - but i really liked Ali

I know it was slated - but i really liked Ali

I didn't rate it at all.

When We Were Kings is a much better account of the Rumble In The Jungle, and you get the real fighters rather than people pretending to be them.

 

[Kick Ass Minton]

Happy Gilmore

"Thats your home ball, why dont you just go home, ITS YOUR HOME, ANSWER ME !"

Doing the bull dance, feelin the flow, workin it, workin it....

 

[Trufflehound]

The Wrestler

 

[Juan Albion]

"Cool Runnings"?

Great film, but not sure it really counts as a USA film. Filmed in Canada, about a Jamaican team in Canada, starring a Canadian (John Candy). So only partly USA at best.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Coach Carter.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Jerry maguire wasnt bad
