    5- big lebowski (enough bowling in it to count!!)
    6- major league
    7- fast and the furious
    8- fight club
    9- raging bull (thought of it too late, it's my #1, but, again, not really about the sport)

    honorable mention- Tiger Town (childhood favorite)
    honorable mention #2- Casey at the Bat (Elliot Gould, Shelley Duvall's Tall tales and Legends)

    I don't think I could come up with 10, as I'm not a big movie guy, but "Slap Shot" is not only my favorite sports movie, it's one of my favorite movies.

    "Hoosiers" and "The Natural" are probably my other two favorite sports movies.
