3. Raging Bull
4. Charriots of Fire

1. Field of Dreams
2. Bull Durham
3. Rudy
4. Breaking Away

1. Rocky 2
2. Rocky
3. Brian's Song
4. The Longest Yard (original)

1. Hoosiers
2. Slapshot
3. Bad News Bears
4. Miracle

Pretty decent bracket but Brian's Song is WAY too low. I think Bull Durham might be a one seed too. Field of Dreams is too high. Who's left out???

I see they have rocky 1 & 2, but my favorite is 4. Who doesn't want to see Rocky beat the snot out of Ivan!?:yes:

Also, no Mighty Ducks? Come on!:wideeyed:

I also like Vision Quest, but that is a lesser know movie, and it is about wrestling so most people wouldn't dig it.:sad:

This list could be a good topic settled by the members of CF. Do individual polls with 1vs4 2vs3 for each group.(24 hours to vote for each pick) Then have a final four in a week.

Field of Dreams hands down. Iowa connection is extra credit.

It also depends on your age....I'm 23 so the newer ones sit better with me.

Only possible ones I can think of that were left out are North Dallas 40, White Men Can't Jump, A League of Their Own, and Pride of The Yankees. BUT, they are close enough to the others that it's not that bad to leave them out.

Thank you! I love the Ducks.

No question... Over the Top (even though his son, Michael, looks like an early 90's Demi Moore)

Days Of Thunder!!!!!
