Breaking Away was a great movie. Forgot about that one. Been awhile since I've seen it.
I laughed so hard at "Major League" that I missed much of the material. I waited around and watched it a second time to see what I had missed. This movie is almost as funny as "Blazing Saddles" and "The Producers" (original version). I don't know how many of you might be familiar with the Marx Brothers, but "Horse Feathers" is an hysterical look at college football.

One on One with Robbie Benson. Kind of dated, but an entertaining movie on big time college hoops in the 70s
Does Point Break count?. Johhny Utah played for Ohio State in the Rose Bowl
Somebody please correct me if I am wrong. I think Edgy said to put your favorite sports movie of all time and you couldn't repeat one which was already written. I find it hard to believe some of these movies are favorites of all time from the ones who wrote them.
My favorite is already on the list. So, I am not going to add another because...well...it wouldn't be my favorite of all time, would it?

LIGHTEN UP......It's not the first time a thread has diverted in a different direction and wont be the last... FRANCIS
If we go that way then we can include Porky's Revenge. I mean that movie has the gang from Angel Beach High screwing Porky's plan to throw the basketball state title game.
Seems to me you're the one screaming. Just following the rules set out. You're the one who needs to lighten up. Take deep breaths...deeeep breaths. Very good.
Nevermind my previous post. Just to appease you, I'll play along. Here is a list of sports movies complied by me. I have seen every single one of these and I'll even give you my "Siskel & Ebert" star ratings for each from 1 to 4. Ready?

And SURFING!! I've been pounded by many a wave and it hurts more than any football hit I ever took/dished out
Please tell me you are talking about the original though (Patrick Swayze! - of Red Dawn and Roadhouse fame)
These should certainly be some of the favorites in the black and white division.
