That's what we're going to do here! With some help, I've selected a field of 64 sports related movies. They span from 1942 to 2019; from baseball to football to golf to boxing to Olympic sports.
Every day or so, I will post the match up of two movies going head to head. You help select the better of the two movies and that movie will move into the next round, single elimination.
A few comments on my selection criteria:
- I did not include any pure documentaries. It was tempting as some of my favorites include: "When We Were Kings" and "Murderball"
- I did include many that are based on real people or real stories.
- I did not include any of the movies just released this year, such as "The Way Back"
- Several movies have been remade (e.g. The Longest Yard). In almost every case, I used the original.
- I did include a few made for TV movies, but not TV series.
- I included boxing, but not karate or MMA. The line got too fuzzy there.
- Some movies are about specific teams or sports, some movies just have sport as the key background theme.
- There were a ton of movies that I could have included, but for various reasons did not.
- The seeding came from combining ratings from multiple movie sites. But upsets are expected. There are some very interesting pairings.
- What some people consider sports movies, I did not include. For example, some people consider "The Big Lebowski" a bowling movie. I do not.
- My tournament, my rules. :)
