I'd replace Bad News Bears with The Sandlot.

Goon and no The Mighty Ducks?

 

[Duckfan22]

Football is the hard one. Rudy, jerry mcguire, draft day are good ones not mentioned yet. For baseball field of dreams should be on the list.

 

[BigFin]

I like The Little Giants. Some funny quotes in that one.

 

[calsnowskier]

I'd replace Bad News Bears with The Sandlot.

Goon and no The Mighty Ducks?

Ducks never did anything for me. But I think that is probably because it came after my time. Fair replacement, though. Goon wasn't much of a flick.

Rudy and Jerry Maguire are legit. Draft Day was too fantastical.

Radio was just a poor attempt and merging Gump and Rudy.

Which was the better movie about the '80 hockey team, Miracle or Miracle on Ice?

Karl Malden and Steve Gutenberg or Kurt Russell and Eddie Cahill?

I grew up with the first one, but it was a made for TV movie, IIRC...
