If you have been reading this blog since its inception one month ago, you know that we like to mix in a lot of sports and movie posts. Today we combine those with our top 5 sports movies of all time. 
A couple of rules you should be aware of with our selection process. First, if your favorite sports movie was made in the 40s or 50s...it is not on this list. I'm going to speak the truth right now and say what a lot of people won't say, Pauly Shore would've been a 5 time Oscar winner in the 40s. For the most part the acting was terrible. 
Second, being that this list is so short we decided that sports comedies would be put under a different category. So while Slapshot, Major League, and Caddyshack are some of the great movies ever made, they fall under a different list.

    You had better actors then than you do now. Too many today are just celebrities or "stars". 
So I'll go ahead and nominate "Knute Rockne All American". 
You know, the one with that fine actor in that small part that you just knew was going to go places.
