    Dodgeball is at number 8

    No sign of Caddyshack though... :D

    I think Hoosiers and Field of Dreams might be my 2 favorite movies of all time, so I think they should be higher on the list! :x

    Dodgeball at 8 surprised me...hilarious movie, but is Dodgeball even a sport?
    If so, Kingpin should be higher than 19...and ya, if comedy counts, shouldn't Caddyshack be there?

    Can't stand these flash slideshow lists that don't give you an actual list :evil: Not sure if I'm missing some....
    Where's Goon? Youngblood?
    And no American Anthem? pffft...

    And ya, the writer....re: Slapshot:

    "If there's one thing that most hockey films prove (and even films that simply feature a scene with the sport in it, such as Chasing Amy), it's that it seems to be about the fights more than the actual scores"

    In real life? not just hockey satire and 80's brat pack vehicles? Tell that to the Mighty Ducks...or Team USA in Miracle, on our own list....mofo
    :twisted:
    Puttin on the foil....

    Terrible list IMO.

    I hate that Flash Crap too.

    I felt it tried way too hard to weave in obscure movies.

    Also, Jerry MaGuire as a 'sports movie' ahead of The Natural, Field of Dreams, Slapshot, etc. Yeah, OK.

    There's about as much football in Jerry macguire as there is golf in Caddyshack. Any Given Sunday? This list is crap. The Longest Yard at 49 and Hoosiers around 20. If there is any surfing movie on the list it has to be Point Break :D
    Alright, alright, alright!

    If you can win based on a points system, i.e. Doesn't require a judge to make a 'winning' decision, then it's a sport in my book.

    The Naked Gun was a great baseball movie. Cant believe it didnt make the list.

    There was a football stadium shown on "The Rock". Should have been on there.
