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.

"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."

Stopped reading right there...

I don’t have an arguement with his picks, but would add “Bang the Drum Slowly”, “Tin Cup”, and “Bull Durham”. Though in the last two the parts are greater than the whole. As long as they stayed on the baseball diamond or the golf course they were great.

I know it is not anywhere in or near the top tier, but I think “The Cutting Edge” about ice skating deserves a mention somewhere.

‘2) Hoosiers- Even though this was about the 50s , it is probably the most accurate depiction of high school basketball ever made. From the crowds to the locker room atmosphere, it doesn’t get any better than this. Does Gene Hackman make some questionable decisions as coach? Of course. Who would set up a play with 10 seconds left in the championship and not get the ball to Jimmy Chitwood?’

If you ever find yourself in tiny Milan Indiana, don’t say this.

You will be brutally beaten to death, and hung from that water tower in the opening scene...(chuckle)

I was there on business not long after the movie was released and everybody in the town wanted to kill the writers, director, and Gene Hackman for the entirely fraudulent events depicted.

To quote ‘Jimmy’ who is still alive and playing basketball at the new highschool after hours ‘the only thing in that movie that was accurate was the shot that won the state championship’.
