Sports Illustrated lists their best sports movies, organized by individual sport.
Posted by david on April 11, 2003My favorite sports movie has to be "Bull Durham".
I have to disagree with their choice of best bowling movie, though. "The Big Lebowski" is far better than "Kingpin", imo.

Posted by: John on April 11, 2003 03:27 PMimho, good sports movies are rare...
i thought bull durham sucked - major league is the best (if for no other reason, only way i'll see the indians win a world series)
rocky better than raging bull - i have one bit of advice for the author of that pearl of wisdom: crack kills...
and blue crush is the best movie. ever.
now - i will agree the big lebowski is a better movie than kingpin - but i don't really consider lebowski a bowling movie - kingpin rules as well...

"Raging Bull" would be my choice for boxing too, even though I'm a Philly boy (like Rocky).
I liked both "Kingpin" and "The Big Lebowski," I'll call that one a tie.
