What is your best sports movie moment?
This is mine.
I'm a wrestling fan so that pop for Falco is a huge thing for me. Plus I fucking love that movie.

Rocky II- the rematch against Creed
I was 9 years old watching it on the big screen. They knock each other to the canvas in the last round, and Rocky gets up right before the ref gets to ten, finally beating Apollo.
It was a thrilling moment.

Probably any scene in this. It is my favorite sports movie ever. The final fight between brothers and them walking away together is a great scene too. |

It's completely ludicrous from the standpoint of the actual sport, and the storyline is rather predictable and cliched, but it's entertaining and the cast is rather good. You could probably say that about 99% of well liked sports movies though. |

They knock each other to the canvas in the last round, and Rocky gets up right before the ref gets to ten, finally beating Apollo. It was a thrilling moment. So obviously we all love Rocky. If any Rocky movie is on TV, I feel obligated to watch it, even the shitty Rocky V. But I have a question about the ending of Rocky II. I know virtually nothing about real boxing, never really followed it, but in that final round, Rocky clearly knocks Apollo down but then he himself falls down from his own momentum, Apollo never actually touches him on that final swing, but the ref seems to be counting them both as being "down" for the purposes of declaring the winner or it resulting in a double knockout/draw/victory for Apollo on points. I thought if you trip and fall it doesn't count as a knock down. In other words, if Rocky were still down when the ref got to 10, wouldn't he still be the victor over Apollo given that Apollo didn't knock him down? |

I'm certainly no expert, but I would guess it might still count. A slip is certainly not considered a knockdown, but if he was unable to get up and continue fighting, I would think they'd still give him a 10 count and count him out if he couldn't stand up. |

The Natural finale already has my vote, just wanted to post this for fun. This is a great scene on multiple levels, many of them ironic. There's the inevitable continuity/editing issues that are sure to arise when filming a prolonged choreographed football scene like this (such as the center clearly blocking #55 multiple times) as well as the dramatic pause of about ten seconds before the QB delivers the ball. Then there's the consideration that #55 is almost certainly killed by the center with that block. I mean not only does it rip the facemask off his helmet, look at the amount of blood (or...or is that bile?) that comes out of his mouth. There's some serious hemorrhaging of something-- or maybe everything going on there.
But on a more serious note, even in a goofball comedy such as this, I like the karma, the life symmetry , fate, whatever you want to call it-- where the guy open in the endzone is the jersey he threw to for 15 years thinking the game passed him by. The idea that there are these little details in life that you think are inconsequential that end up meaning everything in the end. I'm waxing poetic about a dopey sports comedy from almost 30 years ago that nobody remembers seeing, but that's just how I roll.

It's not considered an all time classic but I love it, watch it every year as football season rolls around. |

Major League is easily a top 5 baseball movie, comedy or otherwise. |
