Intro | How It Works
March Madness is underway, so we at RT thought it would be a great time to dust off our Top Sports Movies list, a compendium of the best-reviewed films from the wide world of cinematic sports.
It's a wide-ranging list, one that includes everything from hardball heroes (The Pride of the Yankees, Field of Dreams) to gridiron greats (Remember the Titans Friday Night Lights). In addition, everything from surfing (Riding Giants) to golf (Caddyshack) to hockey (Slap Shot) to the sport of kings (Seabiscuit) is represented.
Honestly, we were shocked at the low rankings of some of the sentimental favorites (including Hoosiers, Rudy, Rocky, and The Natural), but ultimately those rankings are all based on the review stats (and not our own personal feelings). It's kind of like a good relief pitcher: he may have a lower ERA than a starter, but he'll also get a lot fewer wins.
Whatever your favorite athletic pursuit, you'll find something here to make you fire up the DVD player. Without further ado, check out RT's Top Sports Movies and enjoy the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, and everything in between.
