[Cy83ag]

[JohnnyAl]

The following matchups take place in Alexandria, Va.

5. Brian's Song vs 12. The Hustler

4. Remember the Titans vs 13. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

Remember the Titans must have had.one weak ass on conference schedule

The producer of the movie was on the selection committee…..

 

[Farnsworth]

The following matchups take place in Chicago.

6. Moneyball vs 11. Foxcatcher

3. A League of Their Own vs14. Cool Runnings

Man, the committee had some weird seeds. A League of Their Own should have been a solid #2. And Cool Runnings at least be a #12 (who would upset a #5), or sneak up into single digits to a 8th or 9th.

I would have both movies in the elite 8 all day, now what?!

[arobb]

Vision Quest got a bad draw.

In place of which current #2?

 

[JM4CY]

Sandlot at the 3 is an absolute abomination.

Totally agree

Came in right around #10-#11 overall, pretty spot on.

 

[MeanDean]

TIL I have seen almost no sports movies

I have seen maybe 20 percent of these. (My movie watching overall lifetime, has been sparse.) I will vote only for ones I've seen, obviously. And not for the ones I've seen and didn't care for.

 

[Gonzo]

The most brutal choice for me in the round of 64:

5. North Dallas Forty vs 12. Rocky II

 

[madguy30]

Happy Gilmore vs Varsity Blues probably the toughest choice for me.

Happy Gilmore for me held up longer.

All time it's probably about right but man that movie hits hard later in life.

I can see it going on a run.

Exactly. I’ve never seen anything that captures the heart of the American boy. It’s spiritual. I watch it with my son once a summer. Tear up every damn time.

It's as quotable to me as Major League is. I had it on my 2 seed line.

 

[ISUTex]

Major League must've had a weak non con. Should've been a 1.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

The following matchups take place in Johnstown, Pa.

6. Friday Night Lights vs 11. Creed

3. Slap Shot vs 14. Ford v. Ferrari

Picking between Slap Shot vs Ford v Ferrari is gonna make me hate myself.

Ford v Ferrari is one of my favorite recent movies
