Sports Movie moments

[AngryPanda]

I asked Chris this, just wanted to see what some other Fanatics had to say on it.

If you could see any movie sports event in real life as a fan in the stands, which event would it be? I would pick the end of Major League when Taylor calls his shot.

The slow clap from Rudy.

end of Cool Runnings when they carry the sled across the finish line

[d4nim4l]

This is a copout but since they made a movie based on it...

1980. Semifinals of the medal round. **** the Russians.

For a completely fictional movie?

Probably Major League II when Wild Thing returns to face Parkman.

Coach Boone: Put your hand down.
Coach Boone: You're smiling.
Petey Jones: Yes.
Coach Boone: Yes, sir. Why are you smiling?
Petey Jones: 'Cause I love football. Football is fun.
Coach Boone: Fun, sir? It's fun?
Petey Jones: Yes.
Coach Boone: You sure?
Petey Jones: I think...
Coach Boone: Now you're thinkin'. First you smile, then you thinkin'. You think football is still fun?
Petey Jones: Uh, yes.
Coach Boone: Sir.
Petey Jones: Yes- no, sir.
Coach Boone: No?
Petey Jones: Um, it was fun.
Coach Boone: Not anymore though, is it? *Is* it?
Petey Jones: Not right now, no.
Coach Boone: No, it's not fun anymore. Not even a little bit.
Petey Jones: Uh... no.
Coach Boone: Make up your mind. Think since you're thinking. Go on, think. Is it fun?
Petey Jones: No, sir.
Coach Boone: No? Absolutely not?
Petey Jones: Zero fun, sir.
Coach Boone: [addresses team] All right, listen up! I'm Coach Boone. I'm gonna tell you about how much... *fun* you're gonna have this season.

The end of The Natural with the lights blowing up while he rounds the bases.

[CyFever]

Carl blowing up Bushwood.

Being at the first home game the following season after the Marshall plane crash(We Are Marshall). That would have been unforgetable.

[FarmClone]

Of any sporting event I could attend it would not be from a movie. It would be to see Seneca's run, the tornado game, and this year's Nebraska game again. I was at all of them and don't believe there is anything that could come nearly as close to those moments from any movie. That's just me though.

[Cycofan1]

Rudy slow clap with the "rudy" chant going would be awesome.

[hursts]

Rocky beating Ivan Drago on Christmas in Moscow, Russia.

[Cycofan1]

Remember the Titans when there singing at the end. Sad but cool.

[PGreen ISU '92]

#1 Rudy because it's a true story followed by Rocky II at #2 and The Natural in the 3 spot.

[DRCHIRO]

Hoosiers, hands down

[iowajazz]

This may be too "unreal", but I'd go with the end of Field of Dreams. Always makes me tear up a little.
