I forgot to include my Honorable Mention--- As a teenage boy, with no reliable girlfriend at the time, I found this movie to be an incredibly important piece of cinema. I think it had some sports in it, too.

In no order:

Major League
Blue Chips
The Waterboy
The Wrestler

That's a terrible list and I'm going to clean this up for mega because I know he made a mistake. In no order.

Major league (you got one right)
Blue chips ( well you got two right)

No love for Baseketball?

The Sandlot, Little Giants, Tin Cup, and Major League are infinitely re-watchable. The Sandlot especially, it takes me back to my childhood. I grew up in a neighborhood like theirs.

"So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice." - Carl Spackler
