Top 10 Greatest Sports Movies

Top 10 Greatest Sports Movies Of All Time

Sports have been around forever and for every great sports moment we tend to try are best to capture on film. Sports films have been very successful because they combine the best of both worlds and through a way that most people can relate to.

Sports movies have the capability to change your life because they are so inspirational and give you the chance to relate to many of the characters and many are based on true events.

There are so many great movies made about sports, so here is my top 10 favorite sports movies.

10. Major League

Charlie Sheen plays Ricky Vaughn or “Wild Thing”, a pitcher on the Cleveland Indians, Vaughn starts out in jail before he gets to play for the Indians. A showgirl who goes by the name of Lynn Wells wants to move the team to a different area. So there has to be poor attendance during games so she puts together the worst team possible but in doing that creates a team who wins the division title.

9. A League Of Their Own

During World War II, the major leaguers went off to fight, and that started a professional baseball league for women.  Tom Hanks puts in an outstanding performance as he manages the Peaches it is a great movie and if you take anything from the movie “There’s no crying in Baseball”

8. Field Of Dreams

“If you build it they will come” Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) an Iowa resident and baseball enthusiast builds a baseball field in his backyard and baseball players such as Joe Jackson come out of the cornfield to play baseball. It is a great movie for fans of all ages especially a father son movie.

7. Miracle

This movie was based on possibly the greatest victory in sports history. The American hockey team faced off against the Soviet Union and played them with no professionals on the team facing a complete professional team and defeated the Soviets 4-3 at the 1980 winter Olympics. And quite possibly the best inspirational speech of all time.

6. Hoosiers

Hoosiers has everything a sports movie needs and proves to be an exceptional movie that has stood the test of time, with the team no one expected to win, a new coach and his teachings and the shot from the quiet star Jimmy Chipwood.

5. Rocky

All of the Rocky movies are outstanding. It is the ultimate underdog story. It's about a boxer from Philly getting a shot at the title. A great story to prove you can do anything you set your mind to and believe in yourself.

4. Rudy

Sean Austin plays Rudy Ruettiger, who grew up in a poor Irish home and dreams of going to the University of Notre Dame. No one thinks he can do it, Rudy does not catch a break and has to work hard every day of his life and finally gets a break to suit up for one game for his dream team in this feel good movie makes you think anything is possible with hard work and determination.

3. Caddyshack

With Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield and Bill Murray how can you not have a great movie? The ideal movie to watch if you and your buddies have a golf outing coming up and you want to get into the spirit of golfing and having fun. The movie is set on an exclusive golf course that has to deal with a brash new member and a destructive dancing gopher.

 2. Remember the Titans

In 2000, the movie Remember the Titans was released. This movie is about a high school in Virginia, T.C. Williams football team and the way life was in the 1970s. The team chemistry is horrible because of racism, but ultimately the Titans grow stronger as a team and become like a family and start not seeing color while everyone in the community sees color, Every time I see this movie I get chills because it is an inspirational and classic movie that will be a lesson to all who watch.

1. The Sandlot

Scotty Smalls moves to a new neighborhood with his mom and step dad, and wants to learn to play baseball. The neighborhood baseball guru Rodriquez takes Smalls under his wing, and soon he's part of the local baseball buddies. They fall into adventures involving baseball, tree house sleep-ins, the hottie lifeguard at the local pool, the snooty rival ball team, and the travelling fair. Beyond the fence at the back of the sandlot menaces a legendary ball-eating dog called The Beast, and the kids inevitably must deal with him. This is the greatest sports movie of all because it’s a movie everyone can relate to as a kid.

Top 10 Things to Do When Your Power Is Out

So your power is out no biggie, wondering what you and your family can do with no power.  The items listed below can help you find a lot of fun things to do. Appreciate the things you have and more importantly do something you probably wouldn’t have done if your power was still on, enjoy the list.

10. Read a book

Its cliché and classic but with no power you can sit back and indulge yourself in a great book that can make you even forget your power was off in the first place

9. Write

Write anything it doesn’t have to mean anything just let your creative juices flow and just maybe you might actually have something when you’re finished.  Therefore it can be anything a poem, joke, blog, story and even a screenplay.

8. Clean your room

Need something to pass the time and make your parents proud that they didn’t have to ask a million times to do. It will be great for you because it will pass time, make your room look better and just maybe your parents will give you an “Abe” for your allowance that week.

7. Go outside

Its self-explanatory, most kids and young adults these days are all over the internet or playing video games without power you can’t do either so get off the couch and head up to the pool or go for a jog just do something to get your blood flowing.

6. Cut Local Lawns

Tight on cash, have a lawn mower? Go door to door in your neighborhood and ask others if you can cut their lawn for cheap, most of your neighbors will jump on the opportunity to not cut their own lawn because most hate cutting their own lawn and you can make some money in the process.

5. Ride a bike

Most people these days don’t really ride bikes like they used to, this is a great time for you to take a nice stroll around the neighborhood or a nature trail to get in a nice exercise.

4. Draw or Color

This is a great time if you’re an artist of any skill level; there are endless opportunities for you to do. For example, you can doodle and draw stick figures, grab a coloring book and some Crayola Crayons and color pictures in a coloring book, or work on a masterpiece you haven’t had the time to finish up until your power went out.

3. Sudoku

A great game to test your mind and mathematics out and also pass time while working the brain, Haven’t heard of Sudoku well the objective is to fill a 9x9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3x3 sub grids that compose the grid contains all the number 1 to 9. And it’s a really fun game to play and will also help pass time.

2. Play a board game/Play Cards

Grab the family and some candles and get ready for a great time that many families aren’t doing much of anymore. Grab a deck of cards and play countless amounts of game or if you can’t find your deck of cards grab your families favorite board game such as Monopoly and have a great time getting in some good ole family bonding

1. Tell a Ghost Story

Grab a flash light and think of one of the most frightening tales you can tell your pals or parents and settle in for a good time, and it will help make you a little tired and hopefully it doesn’t scare you so you can’t sleep though this brings back fond memories as a child and is my number one for no power

Hope you enjoyed the list.
