Title Year Rating Rank Review
Bull Durham1988991 - A beautiful comedy that captures the spirit of grown men still chasing dreams almost perfectly.
Everybody Wants Some2016892 - Though I am not a particular fan of Linklater's stuff in general, I must admit Everybody Wants Some is probably my favorite film of his to date.
CaddyShack1980873 - An absolute '80's classic!
Happy Gilmore1996873 - One of Adam Sandler's best.
Jerry Maguire1996873 - Love, drama, and comedy. Sports, Office Work, Home life. It is literally impossible that this film doesn't have SOMETHING for you.
The Replacements2000873 - It's just an enjoyable time at the movies. What's not to like?
Fever Pitch2005857 - 'Fever Pitch' pretends to know what both genders want and gives them each their piece. The girl, looking for a rom-com, gets a story of a young and unstable relationship. Her male counterpart gets to enjoy a film about the highs and lows of being hopelessly devoted to sports team.
Major League1989848 - It falls victim to some of the eye-rolling hysterionics that became so prevalent during the '80's, but it's a solid baseball comedy for sure.
Rookie of the Year1993848 - Shamelessly goofy, but you can't help but to love Ian Thomas Nicholas as he turns the Cubs -- and the teams they play -- upside down on their head.
Sandlot1993848 - Set in the '50's, it's hard to call 'The Sandlot' a tale of nostalgia. Then again, as the movie so eloquently points out, some things just never change.
Longest Yard, The (2005)20058311 - One of my go-to Adam Sandler comedies.
Dodgeball20048012 - Its satire definitely is on the stupid side, but it's funny nonetheless.
The Waterboy19987813 - Classic Sandler.
Space Jam19967614 - It's a whacky kids movie, but there's enough genuine adult laughs for it to be enjoyable for all who see it.
Mr. 300020047415 - Stan Ross could easily be based on any one of a number of big name players fans love to hate. But Mr. 3000 is based on EVERY formulaic sports movie that has come before it.
The Bad News Bears (1976)19767316 - Just a tad too bland to be really good.
Bad News Bears (2005)20057117 - It does JUST enough to make this reboot its own, but there is nothing, NOTHING I loathe more than facsimiles and, for the most part, this is what we have on our hands here.
Mr. Baseball19927018 - One does not simply get over Tom Selleck cast as a fun-loving R-rated baseball player. It's only when he comes around to being semi-respectful of the cultures around him that you start to believe the character.
The Bronze20157018 - It is, at once, a sports comedy and a satire about live in middle America. But it's all just only 'chuckle funny'. No real, genuine laughs here.
Angels in the Outfield (1951)19516920 - This is that rare original that is actually outdone by the remake. Everything here in the 1951 original is fine, but Disney -- dare I say it -- did it better in 1994.
Blades of Glory20076821 - If you completely shut off your brain and refuse to take offense to unfunny homophobic stereotypes, you might just think this is the funniest movie ever.
Mystery, Alaska19996322 - As it turns out, the only thing you can do in Alaska is screw and play hockey. Somehow, this movie puts a damper on every north woods' man's dream.
Little Big League19945923 - Ultimately, it's just too whacky to be taken seriously. Even with it's out-there premise, you just can't help but to get the feeling it could've been done much, much better.
Damn Yankees19585824 - In reality, this movie could've been about an hour long.
Here Comes the Boom20124325 - It's brief spurts of charm, laughs, and halfway-decent action are, to borrow a metaphor from the movie, just drops in a bucket. Not worth your time.
Love Guru, The20083526 - Every punchline is lobbed to you underhand, making it so easy it's virtually impossible to give more than a charitable chuckle.
