Challengers is fantastic

Yeah, I've heard through the grapevine that Beau is a secret HG2 admirer. Come on, Beau! There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Miracle on Ice! I can hear Herb Brooks saying “again” in my dreams. Iconic movie, iconic game, impeccable timing.

I didn't feel it was right to subject Jimmy to my full dissertation on golf movies, which contains a chapter on how Caddyshack lays out a recipe for an alliance between the working class (Danny Noonan), the nouveau riche (Al Czervik), the disaffected aristocracy (Ty Webb), and anarchism (Carl Spackler). Suffice it to say that I think Happy Gilmore 2 represents a betrayal of the Revolution. Anyway, while I stand by my top five of Rocky, Hoosiers, Breaking Away, Bull Durham, and Major League, I do regret not putting Breaking Away at #1 because that's honestly how I feel. I also wish I had remembered to mention Tour de Pharmacy and 7 Days in Hell, which are extremely funny. Creed is great, too. And Kingpin. The 70s-90s was probably the never-to-be-replicated peak of the sports movie, but within the past couple of years I've enjoyed Hustle and Challengers.

Interesting. I think past meeting transcripts would say otherwise

I know this was a favorite sports movies prompt but I'm sticking to golf. My golf movie Mount Rushmore only contains three movies: - Tin Cup - Happy Gilmore (definitely not riding for Happy Gilmore 2 like Will Knights does) - Caddy Shack If I'm really desperate I'll mess around with The Legend of Bagger Vance or Dead Solid Perfect but there's a vast drop off after my first three.

I’ll watch anything they make together. When I first saw Creed I leaned over to my wife and said, “Rocky 7 has no business being this good!”

Creed is legit. Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan are fantastic when they work together.

In no particular order, and I tried to spread the love among different sports: Remember the Titans Field of Dreams Creed (yeah, I like it better than Rocky) Ford v. Ferrari Hoosiers Honorable Mention: Miracle

Tron is the "Die Hard is a Christmas movie" of sports movies.
