It's like saying Heaven Can Wait/Here Comes Mr. Jordan are sports movies.<br /><br />I really don't like The Natural (nor would anyone else who'd read the book - Malamud and happy endings just don't go together)and Field of Dreams is dull for long stretches (sorry, James Earl Jones.....) <br /><br />I exclude boxing movies just as I exclude Gladiator and Fight Club .... beating on people is not a sport.Ashleigh Burroughshttp://ashleighburroughs.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-6751101552399472912009-09-24T18:05:13.191-07:002009-09-24T18:05:13.191-07:00OH!! and Mighty Ducks! - how many sports movies CR...OH!! and Mighty Ducks! - how many sports movies CREATED a major league franchise!?Billy Hilemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012318747872208797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-15846363943312328392009-09-24T18:01:50.657-07:002009-09-24T18:01:50.657-07:00No love for The Natural or Field of Dreams? There...No love for The Natural or Field of Dreams? There are definitely folks who'll burn you in effigy for those omissions.<br /><br />Also, thoughts on the semi-sports movies like Rocky or Karate Kid?<br /><br />And I'm as big a Keira Knightly fan as there is (still one of my two potential future wives, Scarlet will come to her senses one of these days...), but I honestly think the best Beckham reference in movie-dom is from Love Actually -"The land of David Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot for that matter."Billy Hilemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012318747872208797noreply@blogger.com
