Best sports movie?

[DerangedHermit 0]

Major League.

 

"You may run like Hayes, but you hit like shit."

 

"That's all one goddamn hit."

"You can't say goddamn on the air."

"Don't worry, nobody's listening anyways."

 

Rick Vaughn: What's that shit on your chest?

Harris: [wiping his finger across his chest] Crisco,

[wiping it across his waist line]

Harris: Bardol,

[wiping it along his head]

Harris: Vagisil. Any one of them will give you another two to three inches drop on your curve ball. Of course if the umps are watching me real close I'll rub a little jalapeno up my nose, get it runnin', and if I need to load the ball up just

[wipes his nose]

Harris: wipe my nose.

Rick Vaughn: You put snot on the ball?

Harris: I haven't got an arm like you, kid. I have to put anything on it I can find. Someday you will too.

 

"Wild Thing! You make my heart sing! You walk everything!"

 

And of course...the quote in my sig.

Caddyshack.

 

"You do drugs Danny?"

"Everyday"

"Good, good..."

Rudy or Hoosiers, maybe giving Rudy the slight nod just because I can watch it forever

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

My favorite line...

 

Jake: I'm with the Indians.

 

Woman: Here, in Cleveland? I didn't know we still had a team.

 

Jake: Yeah, we've got uniforms and everything. It's really great.

You know, if you want to say bowling is a sport, I should say Big Lebowski. Another bowling movie I enjoy immensely is Kingpin, not quite as much, but still.

All five Rocky movies, no other sports movies touch them.

God I watched The Natural today. Damn fine movie.

Couple of questions though:

 

-Why were they called the Knights when every other team had their real name?

 

-Was it the Bookie who bet on everything that had him shot?

 

-When he said "You're right Memo we have met before" it was almost like he was saying she was Harriet....but that lady died.....didn't she?

 

-And Whammer just kind of dissapeared didn't he?

My favorite line...

 

Jake: I'm with the Indians.

 

Woman: Here, in Cleveland? I didn't know we still had a team.

 

Jake: Yeah, we've got uniforms and everything. It's really great.

 

I like these lines from Major League 2:

 

[Rick Vaughn is pitching to Jack Parkman during practice]

Jack Parkman: What do you call that garbage?

Rick Vaughn: It's my eliminator. I've got another pitch. You get a piece of it, I'll let you name it.

[Vaughn pitches and Parman hits the ball out of the park]

Jack: I'd, uh, call it the masturbator.

 

Harry Doyle: That looked like the Terminator, only slower. Maybe it was his out-of-stater, or it could have been the Hibernator--that baby is definitely going away for the winter. Whatever for Vaughn, it might be see-ya-later. He's probably gonna become a spectator.

 

[After Hayes calls a shot to left field and flies out to left for the second time]

Harry Doyle: You know, he could be pointing at the left fielder.

 

Lou: Come on, you're not going to let her get you down, are you? You guys won last year just to spite her. Maybe, she's what we need.

Jake: Oh, Skip, they were a different team last year.

Lou: Taylor, it's not your job to make excuses. that's all you guys do good. it's either a leg thing or a spiritual thing, or a psychological thing, or a heart attack.

Jake: Who used heart attack?

Lou: Me. (collapses from a heart attack)

 

Harry Doyle: Back goes Cerrano. He'll need a rocket up his ass to catch this one. That baby is outta here.

 

Harry Doyle: If that's not Shaquille O'Neal in left, that baby's out of here...

 

Pedro Cerrano: I free and clear.

Vaughn: Did he say "free and queer"?

Cerrano: Clear! Free of anger and hostility that run Cerrano's life!

 

Harry Doyle: My God! Good news, fans! The Indians are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks! As a matter of fact, they appear to be beating the crap out of each other...It looks like Willie Hayes is trying to hit Rick Vaughn. And why not? Everybody else in the league does. Hayes swings and misses! I don't know, Monty, it looks like Vaughn's carrying his left a little low...this could hurt him in the later rounds.

This is a tough one to pick a favorite in, but I think that it breaks down four ways...

 

Hoosiers, The Natural, Rocky I and Field of Dreams.

 

To paraphrase the Sports Guy, "there are two kinds of people in this world, People who love Field of Dreams and people who are cold heartless bastards."

[nl5xsk1 0]

Slapshot ... easily my favorite sports movie of all time, nothing else is even close.

 

And, CDub, consider me a cold heartless bastard.

Slap Shot ("This young man has had a very trying rookie season, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country's refusal to accept him, I guess that's more than most 21-year-olds can handle. Number six, Ogie Oglethorpe.")

 

Major League 1+2 ("Hello Tribe fans, welcome to Major League Baseball... sort of. Paid attendance today...1412...of course, most of them were driven away by that little 10 run first inning the Red Sox put up...Take over Monty...I'm... in the bag.")

 

Hoosiers ("If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we're gonna be winners.")
