As usual, there are few things more conducive to starting conversations and debate than making a list of “The {number} Best {things}”. (Or “Worst”, as the case may be.) That said, ESPN has named the Top Twenty Sports Films of All Time. I haven’t seen all of these, but the ones that I have are quite deserving of their accolades here. I would, though, include Tin Cup, but maybe that’s because I’m not a golfer. I have yet to find an avid golfer who actually likes that movie. And personally, I would omit Eight Men Out in favor of Major League. And since I’m including Major League, I’d ditch The Bad News Bears in favor of The Karate Kid. You can’t help but love a movie that added “Wax on, wax off” to the national lexicon.
