What is the best SPORTS movie?

[epeemike81]

So, ESPN Page 2 did a list of the top 20 sports movies (thanks, epeephile). Just found this interesting, and thought I'd post it:

20. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no20.html" target="_blank">When We Were Kings</a>
19. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no19.html" target="_blank">Eight Men Out</a>
18. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no18.html" target="_blank">Brian's Song</a>
17. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no17.html" target="_blank">Chariots of Fire</a>
16. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no16.html" target="_blank">Bad News Bears</a>
15. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no15.html" target="_blank">White Men Can't Jump</a>
14. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no14.html" target="_blank">Breaking Away</a>
13. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no13.html" target="_blank">Hoop Dreams</a>
12. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no12.html" target="_blank">Jerry Maguire</a>
11. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no11.html" target="_blank">North Dallas Forty</a>
10. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no10.html" target="_blank">The Longest Yard</a>
9. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no9.html" target="_blank">The Hustler</a>
8. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no8.html" target="_blank">Caddyshack</a>
7. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no7.html" target="_blank">Field of Dreams</a>
6. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no6.html" target="_blank">The Natural</a>
5. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no5.html" target="_blank">Slap Shot</a>
4. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no4.html" target="_blank">Hoosiers</a>
3. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no3.html" target="_blank">Raging Bull</a>
2. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no2.html" target="_blank">Rocky</a>
1. <a href="http://espn.go.com/page2/movies/s/top20/no1.html" target="_blank">Bull Durham</a>

Given the number of reservations I have about this list, I don't think I can really proudly claim it as support for my opinion. Bad News Bears ahead of Chariots of Fire and Eight Men Out???? Jerry Maguire making the list??? Field of dreams should be on the list, but not 7th, IMO....

oh well. take it for what you will, and comments welcome (obviously).

Rocky
Chariots of Fire
The Natural
Brians Song

Rocky was my theme while i was in Guam,[believe it or not] i was a terrible runner and there was no fencing there, so in spite of the heat, i started running, i would come home completely drenched and do the rocky theme in the kitchen.
