Let’s see here, um… is everyone forgetting Cinderella Man with Russel Crowe or even the depressing Million Dollar Baby with Clint Eastwood,Morgan Freeman,and Hillary Swank?

I didn’t realize Jean Reno was in The Big Blue. I’m off to find it now because he is one of my favorite actors and rarely picks a bad project.

Lots of e-mails last blasting me for North Dallas Forty not making the cut…and they’re right. Probably the best flick from the world of American Football.

@Peter: Right you are.

@Aaron: The Mighty Ducks? come on, man! It’s not bad, but I can’t say it would make my list

The ones that I think should be on there:

The Big Blue – mad freediving movie with Jean Reno

The Express – I don’t usually go for football movies, but I liked it.

Rudy! Aww yeah! Sean Astin at his finest. Being the good Canadian that I am, I will have to nominate Slap Shot.

In your defense, there are a lot of good sports movies. I assume that´s why you left out possibly two of the best movies of all time, MIghty Ducks and White Men Can´t Jump.
