    Tin Cup was very enjoyable.
    Yes, which reminds me, Happy Gilmore. Does Caddyshack count for golf?
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Bummer but I get it!  I wrecked my right /throwing arm shoulder playing racquetball when I was in my early thirties.  Ruined my ability to throw well for life.  :frowning:

    The Natural is one of my all-time faves (and I am so in love with Robert Redford :heart: ) ... I love all boxing movies, and I love all baseball movies. Even shit like Little Big League and Brewster's Millions and Mr. 3000, lol.
    The rest of the sports movies... I usually like them too, but they don't do it for me like boxing and baseball ones.

    Brewster's Millions is great!  That would be an extremely difficult challenge in today's world, let alone 1985.

    America people are committing suicide at an all-time high in your country.  That is not good.  That needs to be addressed.

    Yes, The Natural is a classic.

    I agree, I tend to even enjoy the decidedly average or shit sports movies (Mr 3000 is definitely in that category, but I still enjoyed it).

    Forgot Caddyshack (damn!) and Happy Gilmore. There's also the Legend of Bagger Vance for golf too
