We were sitting around, tossing out ideas for the next series, when it occurred to us that we hadn't ever thought of one of the most obvious themes: sports! We decided to pick one movie from each major sport, hopefully opting for movies that weren't known by heart (i.e., no "Bull Durham"). "Caddyshack" was exempt from that rule, because, well, it has to be the golf movie.
- Baseball: The Natural (1984)
- Basketball: Hoosiers (1986)
- Football: Brian's Song (the remake, 2001)
- Hockey: Slap Shot (1977)
- Running: Chariots of Fire (1981)
- Soccer: La Gran Final (aka The Great Match, 2006)
- Boxing: Diggstown (1992)
- Skateboarding: Thrashin' (1986)
- Golf: Caddyshack (1980)
(Skipped a gathering to go see "Unwigged and Unplugged" on stage with the TIST guys. Can laughter be called a sport?)
Time for a summer hiatus... and figuring out what the next series will be!
I always thought Tin Cup was a better golf movie.
