In honor of Opening Day & March Madness, help pick the Sports movie we will react to!

Please feel free to suggest other options in the comments for future polls!

Comments

UnlicensedOkie

Caddyshack, varsity blues, coach Carter, Hoosiers In that order

Kurt Bohnstadt

You can’t go wrong with any of these

Roy Wright

That pole was hard to vote for lol. Every one of them solid

David Martin

I love Searching for Bobby Fischer, but chess isn't a sport -- it's a game. As is pool/billiards.

Tinker

RUDY!! your reactions would be fantastic on this one!!!

Athos Count de la Fère

The Hustler is a great film. My sentimental favorite is Slap Shot. Lol, that's how I played hockey in school.

CJ

There's a few good ones on here, but Robert Redford in The Natural I think you guys would really like.

John Fitzpatrick

You forgot The Bad News Bears and North Dallas Forty.

Smooticus

The Natural is a ten year old's fantasy in cinema form. Great schmalzy fun. Bull Durham is a hoot. Had to give some love to Chariots of Fire. It's an incredibly well made movie, and had to give a special vote to Searching for Bobby Fischer. A nice little gem of a movie

Smooticus

I had to give it a vote

dieselbeast

Iron Claw (2023) starring Zac Efron for a future poll, I have shitty luck so there's no point in trying the monthly drawing lol it's not happening lol

Smooticus

Great choices. Although i notice The Longest Yard (1974) is missing. I expect that discrepancy to be corrected on the next poll ;)

Donna Castellano

I'm just glad it's on their radar. Ive only seen ONE reaction to it and it's such a good film.

Smooticus

Right? BTW, your screen name reminds me I need to push for the '73 version of the Three Musketeers with Michael York et al

Smooticus

Great movie but kind of a tough watch for me since I grew up watching the Von Erichs

dieselbeast

Thats fair, not enough reaction channels react to it, it does great numbers

Animal Citizens Photography

North Dallas Forty is a great underrated sports film. Fun fact: the NFL tried to prevent its release because a lot of it seemed too close to the truth.

Athos Count de la Fère

My screen name is in honor of one of my favorite actors, Oliver Reed. Three Musketeers and the Four Musketeers. Love them both.

Smooticus

So you were a goon

Athos Count de la Fère

Hah! The teenage version of myself was definitely that. Time has worn away that version of me.

ShadowVessel π

I'm guessing you guys have already seen The Replacements (2000). I never see it on any sports polls. Lol

EdmanXERO

"White Men Can't Jump" is definitely a classic must-watch. I hope it wins one of these days. Haha.

thansen

I have seen most of these. Chariots of Fire, except the one opening scene with the great Vangelis music, is not very good at all. The most fun is Caddyshack. Rudy is a great movie, one of the few that captures college football. But the best sports movie of them all is The Bad News Bears (1976).

Ray Johnson

Best of Times 1986. Robin Williams and Kurt Russell. It's so fun and overlooked.

James

Hoosiers!!

Aaron Barlow

Searching for Bobby Fischer is a fantastic film! I bet it flew under the radar of most people and won't get any votes. And it's about chess, and most people here probably don't even know what the pieces are called.

Jorge Lopez

Love and Basketball! Such an underappreciated movie, and one of my all-time fave sports and rom-com movies.

Aaron Barlow

'Baseketball' should be on here! It's made by and starring Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park. Thus naturally, it's very funny.

Tray-T

Add (The Greatest Game Ever Played) to the next sports poll. A hidden gem.

Aaron Barlow

Adam Sandler version is great.

Aaron Barlow

It's a sport. They have the chess olympiad, the world championship etc. I mean a sport is defined as "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." Chess is exhausting physically. As someone who has competed in a few chess tournaments, I know the concentration and mental stress leaves you feeling a bit drained. Magnus Carlsen the best player in the world for some time now and possibly the GOAT exercises regularly and says it's vital to be physically fit in long classical matches.

Aaron Barlow

Searching for Bobby Fischer is a beautiful movie.

Yann Laliberte

I don't consider Searching for Bobby Fischer to be a sports movie. A great movie for sure though.

Tenn Seven

"Don't move until you see it."

Paul Cox

I dunno, it was pretty well-known and highly regarded in the 90s. Whether people remember that or not depends on the average age of the patrons here, I guess. Chess is in no way niche, btw.

Paul Cox

The star of Chariots of Fire is the musical score by Vangelis. The film itself is dry af. Would love for this to be the time The Natural finally wins one. Looks neck and neck with *sigh* Caddyshack. Hoosiers, Slap Shot, Rudy, or Tin Cup would be my other hopefuls.

Aaron Barlow

"Here, let me help you.." Substitute teacher style sweeps everything off desk.

Aaron Barlow

Not really niche but the majority don't play, especially regularly.

Aaron Barlow

The longest yard with Sandler is good too.

Aaron Barlow

Also Patreon subscribers to Youtube reactors tend to be female in the majority so chess is less popular amongst the female base.

Florian Meier

Hoosiers,The Hustler, The Natural and Slap Shot are my favorites Here !!! I Recommend "Downhill Racer" from 1969 and "The Replacements" from 2000 (Both Gene Hackman)

Toc

Great poll! For next sports poll, may I add two eventual musts? "The Bad News Bears" (1976) and "Rollerball" (1975)!!!! Love the choices on this poll, though!

Boris-N

Diego Maradona, documentary from 2019.

Birdie Num Num

The Queen's Gambit was one of the highest rated shows in the history of Netflix. It's about a female chess prodigy.

Birdie Num Num

The Natural resurrected the baseball movie. Barry Levinson just talked about that this week while promoting his new film (how reluctant the studio was to make it because it was thought to be a dead genre). Without The Natural there would be no Field of Dreams, Major League, Bull Durham etc.

Aaron Barlow

That show was fantastic. However, even though the character was female, that doesn't determine the gender of the audience. Still, no doubt it created some more interest in the female viewership in chess, but the appeal was largely driven by the fact that it was a female prodigy and the marketing was quite prominent on Netflix. Mpst women/girls would be there for the drama rather than being chess enthusiasts, as her life was quite dramatic.

Antmovies

Anyone not voting for RUDY is suspect. I get that the CADDYSHACK people are a bunch of goofballs but still. 🤭

Antmovies

I'm sitting here trying to to think of a baseball or basketball movie to recommend and thinking of sports and drama all I came up with were actual games. 🤣 Anyhoo, I am in between going to the figure skating world championships in Boston. So I'll recommend ice skating movies, ICE CASTLES (1978), BLADES OF GLORY, THE CUTTING EDGE, and I, TONYA. 🙏🏼

Miles E Coburn

Really? Golf - "Caddyshack" (1980) and "Tin Cup" (1996), Pool - "The Hustler" (1961), and Chess - "Searching for Bobby Fischer" (1993)? No matter what ESPN tries to tell us, Golf, Pool, Chess, Darts, etc. ARE NOT SPORTS.

Miles E Coburn

It would have been better to have it on a Comedy poll.

Miles E Coburn

Along with "The Four Musketeers" (1974).

Paul Cox

Caddyshack has been an entrant in several different genre and decade polls and has never won, thankfully, but now it might and I hate that for us.

Paul Cox

I saw his interview with Rich Eisen, but I imagine he spoke with several outlets. Not having ever read the book, I was hella surprised to find out about one very key difference between the book and the film. Sometimes "Hollywoodization" is a benefit.

Mark M

I went with Caddyshack because it’s hilarious. I also know Daniel will love it because it’s an 80’s comedy with boobs.😉😁

james repka

Ron Shelton + Kevin Costner: Bull Durham + Tin Cup!

Pacmule

Suspect in which way Oh like Bull Durham is really a love story

Aaron Barlow

It's a sport. They have the chess olympiad, the world championship etc. I mean a sport is defined as "an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment." Chess is exhausting physically. As someone who has competed in a few chess tournaments, I know the concentration and mental stress leaves you feeling a bit drained. Magnus Carlsen the best player in the world for some time now and possibly the GOAT exercises regularly and says it's vital to be physically fit in long classical matches.

Aaron Barlow

Wrong. If it has an Olympiad, world champs like Chess does, involves physical exertion and skill, it's a sport. Chess is physically exhausting believe it or not. Magnus Carlsen works out a lot to stay in shape for the long, exhausting chess tournaments.

Aaron Barlow

Searching for Bobby Fischer is better

Aaron Barlow

Borat for the 'Running of the Jews' sport!

Philip Davetas

You guys haven't watched THE NATURAL yet? It's everything. Sports, film noir, even super hero movie.

Dee Aitch

Haha, I would like to cast a vote for all of these, except maybe Chariots of Fire! Lots of good selections that will need to make future polls.

William

Caddy Shack is a wild one due to Harold Ramis' writing and directing. It hits you one way as a kid and a different way as an adult due to all the Buddhist references.

pete

A good movies to watch are Eddie the Eagle (2016) and Race (2016).

Neal Romanek

The Hustler and The Natural are almost companion pieces. Paul Newman in one, Robert Redford in the other, and both about what can happen to young talents. But one is gritty reality, the other is epic mythmaking. Just one more cool connection between the careers of these two amazing movie star friends.

Yann Laliberte

I dont agree with video games being sport either

DracJeriba

Invictus (2009) (Matt Damon, Morgan Freemann, directed by Clint Eastwood); rugby Goon (2011) hillarious hockey movie Rush (2013) f1-racing

Chris Bruneau

nice hat, you get a bowl of soup with it???
