Don't worry, it's not one of those clickbait articles where you have to scroll through pages and pages to see the entire list.
I don't think I have seen even half of the movies on the list, so I don't have a strong opinion on it.

Major League & White Men Can't Jump are there, so it's a valid list for me.

Decent list although one could argue about the order they're in for sure. Slap Shot (expected) and Goon (surprised) are included but I'd swap out Miracle (WTF #18?) for Youngblood.
Is pool a sport? I'd leave Color Of Money out, or at least choose part 1 of the story, The Hustler. Is Dodgeball (great comedy) a sport? I don't care for car-racing so I wouldn't have a problem leaving out Senna and Rush. Talladega Nights is funny though, so it can stay.
Can't think of any glaring omissions offhand. Maybe North Dallas 40, Friday Night Lights or Bend It Like Beckham?

I think this is taking a little too far the idea that it is demeaning to refer to females as "girls" instead of "women".

Glad that Sugar was included. That's a massively underrated and really interesting movie. It legitimately feels like a documentary and seems like a story that is all too common but never told.

Dodgeball, Talladega Nights, White Men can't jump, He Got Game, Murderball all ahead of The Natural? The Natural was at like #48 out of 50. What f-tard created this list? |

They really should be called girls since its a coming of age story and they go off to college in the States at the end. Clearly, they will do a huge amount of growing living in a foreign land. |

Loved Slap Shot, The Longest Yard, Eight Men Out and Rush. The Boxer was quite good too though, as the author concedes, it's not really a sports movie.

I actually really like the list, for the most part. There are some movies that should not be on there and some glaring omissions. I am beginning to think that Warrior is the most underappreciated sports movie ever made.

Pride of the Yankees made the top ten and that's about the only correct one.
And where is Warrior? One of the best sports movies ever made.

I am beginning to think that Warrior is the most underappreciated sports movie ever made. Warrior is actually the third highest voted for sports movie on IMDb behind only Million Dollar Baby and Rocky. It has a rating of 8.2 and is at #154 on IMDb's Top 250. I don't even remember it's release. I'm indifferent to MMA so maybe that's why it's never reached my radar. |

I don't even remember it's release. I'm indifferent to MMA so maybe that's why it's never reached my radar. it was a modest success when it came out and Nick Nolte was Oscar nominated as the addict-in-recovery father/trainer. The performances by the two leads are pretty solid, and they would both go on to be much better known in subsequent years (Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton). The movie as a whole is decent enough. The central idea of the two brothers on different life paths meeting in this event is compelling if not original, and if you don't have any knowledge of MMA that might actually be a help since the idea and the specifics of this MMA tournament is completely ludicrous. It's a generally enjoyable film all around though. I don't think it's anything special, but it's certainly worth a watch. |
