Actually, now that I am responding to the man down under I need to add Dogtown and Z Boys, The Endless Summer, and Blue Crush.

End of story.

How is it that only walkingart has mentioned it? Who are you people?

[Gorilla Warfare]

I cant see how i was the only one who put Space Jam, as a child that movie changed my life haha.

[Sun Scorched]

I believe I can fly...

I believe I can touch the sky...

I think about it every night and day...

Spread my wings and fly away...

[Miklo]

Good movie though, gotta love anything ever touched by MJ, and the cartoon versions of the players are classic.

[Nash13/Marion31]

Best football - Remember the Titans
Best Basketball - Hoosiers

[chrice]

Rudy and Hoosiers for me. Those were the only two movies that actually inspired me to become a better athlete.

[Orange_Blooded]

Good call on Major League SDU, also you gotta put caddy shack on the list.

[nevetsov]

Does Happy Gilmore Count?

*Ah, I see whambam already gave it a mention.

And PS, Any Given Sunday was one of the most boring movies i'd ever seen.

[Never Fear 33 Is Here]

I'll do this when I have more time. There are just too many for me to list right now.
