Default ... but watch out for in your ear

So tonight, instead of taking the 2 hour drive to SF for a party, I stayed in with a good bottle of beer, a roasted chicken, and a good loaf of bread. As the title indicates, I watched Field of Dreams.

Is there a better sports movie? I get choked up at least 4 parts of it. James Earl Jones performance is incredible. Anyone who doesn't get goosebumps during his baseball speech isn't human. Anyone who doesn't get choked up when Doc Graham is shaking hands with the ballplayers doesn't have a heart.

So let's hear it - what's the best sports movie? This is my pick, but is it really Hoosiers? Bull Durham? Major League? A League of Their Own? I'm missing tons I'm sure.

I like The Natural better for baseball movies.

Raging Bull, Rocky, The Natural, I loved. Bull Durham, Yes. Field of Dreams, Yes. Hoosiers just okay for me and never really watched League of Their Own. Major League good.

The big three for me are Rocky, Field of Dreams and Bull Durham. Not a fan of The Natural.

Field of Dreams is excellent.

Bull Durham and Slap Shot are better for me.

Kingpin and Raging Bull too if you consider them sports movies.

Raging Bull I'm not sure if I consider it a sports movie.

I'm not proud to say I've never seen Slap Shot. Bits and pieces, but never the whole thing.
