Best sports movie ever

[Brock Landers]

Some will say CaddyShack...

Others Raging Bull, which is a GREAT movie

But i think its North Dallas Forty!

[Brock Landers]

If you haven't seen it, SEE it, excellent movie, based on the true story by Peter Gent who played for the Cowboys

North Dallas Forty is a 1979 dramatic film written by Peter Gent and starring Nick Nolte, Mac Davis, and G. D. Spradlin.
[edit] Synopsis

The film's setting is a 1970s era professional football team based in Dallas, Texas named the North Dallas Bulls[1][2], which closely resembles the Dallas Cowboys. Nolte plays the aging wide receiver Phil Elliott, who is struggling to stay competitive and relies heavily on painkillers. Elliott and quarterback Seth Maxwell, played by Davis, characterize the drug-, sex-, and alcohol-fueled party atmosphere of teams of this era, under the watchful eye of iconic coach B. A. Quinlan, played by G.D. Spradlin.
Part drama, comedy, and satire, North Dallas Forty is widely considered a classic sports film, giving insights into the lives of professional athletes.[3]
Based on the semi-autobiographical novel by Peter Gent, a Cowboys wide receiver in the late 1960s, the film's characters closely resemble real-life team members of that era, with Seth Maxwell often compared to quarterback Don Meredith, Quinlan to Tom Landry, and Elliott to Gent. Of the story, Meredith said, "If I'd known Gent was as good as he says he was, I would have thrown to him more."

He got game because it goes beyond just being a sports movie.

[Brock Landers]

Fuk, forgot about Hoosiers. Thats great too, Rudy, excellent, Jerry Mcguire is hardly about sports, but whatever.

North Dallas Forty is gritty and real.

[Brock Landers]

best part to me is around 3:50 of this clip...The Tuz, John Matuszak!

[THE PROFIT]

Jerry Maguire is mostly about sports, but has a love story mixed in & alot of comedy

Brock I saw ND40 a long time ago, thought it was good, wasn't blown away, but I was young.

There is no baseball movie better than Bull Durham. The Natural is good but waay too slow, Field of Dreams was decent, For The Love Of The Game was pretty good, Major League is funny, but not a better overall movie IMO. 61 isn't bad, Cobb was alright but could have been better. The Fan just sucks, come on. That wasn't even the best movie of that month, much less best of all time.

[THE PROFIT]

My alltime favorite sports movie is Everybodys All American
