I thought I couldn't get through British spy novels until I saw Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John le Carre. The book was awesome too, but if I hadn't seen the movie, I don't think I could have gotten through it. That lead to reading three more of his books without seeing the film version.

I love all things sports movies, but I definitely have a few favourites. I loved Friday Night Lights, Coach Carter and Miracle but my all time favourite is probably A League of Their Own. Such a classic. Also who can say no to watching and rewatching all of the Mighty Duck movies and Happy Gilmore!

Goon. Aside from ice hockey being the only sport I like, that movie has it all. Comedy, conflict and a very tender romance.

It's a tie between Seabiscuit and Secretariat. If I had to pick one, I think Secretariat would won by a nose.

But my all time favourite is "A shot at glory"
one of the best sport movies one could ever watch.
"Any given sunday" is another thrilling sport movie. But it falls on the rank of 2 at my own list.
Any given Sunday is lit!!

I absolutely love the movie Best of the Best with Eric Roberts (a criminally underrated actor!) and James Earl Jones. There are a couple of really fantastic twists at the end that make me emotional just thinking about them, ha.

"Best Sports Movies Ever Watched."
Yes we all either hate sports or love them. Not very many people or any that i personally know of just "kinda like sports ". Me personally am i Giant Louisville Cardinals fan. It either brings me to tears of anger or...yep you guessed it, shouts and dances of joyous celebrations. But my most favorite sports movie isn't even about basketball. Its about football. And I'm a sentimental person because as many times that I've watched it, it will always make my heart feel like its growing to bursting proportions and then I'm just sobbing by the end. It's quiet buildup will let you think about who Rudy truly is or are you being too sappy and girly about it. But i think that it's really a great story about finding yourself and overcoming all the obstacles that life and the people in it want to throw your way hoping that you'll never succeed because success is something that we all strive for but so few rarely obtain it making the majority of us into the bitter and hurt individuals we see every day either in ourselves or in the people we see everywhere.

I've seen several over the years. Little Giants and The Mighty Ducks were my favorites growing up. Fast forward some years and The Replacements along with Major League (the first one) get added to the list.
