List Friday - Best Sports Movies

staying on the movie and Oscar theme (even though the Oscars were last weekend and I have no idea who won) - thought I would talk about the best sports movies. here is my opinion:

1.Caddy Shack - one of the best comedies of all time (I still remember sneaking in to the theater to see this movie). On the other hand - one of the worst sequels ever!
2. Pride - movie about an inner city Philly swim team
3. Remember the Titans - just an awesome movie - I still find it hard to believe the last play of the game really worked but a great movie non the less. The scene at Gettysburg was great
4. 8 Men Out - "Say it ain't so Joe"
5. Slap Shot - an awesome portrayal of minor league hockey.

Honorable mention:
American Fliers - sweet mustache on Kevin Costner - they should bring back the Hell of the West bike race.

here are some good movies (documentaries) to help with your motivation to training:
-Showdown - the story of CC national championships
-What it Takes - world class triathletes prepare for Hawaii
-Spirit of the Marathon - although the guy trying to qualify for Boston is kind of winy
-Running the Sahara - these dudes are crazy
-Running on the Sun - if you have to see any of these see this one - the story of Badwater!
