The 15 Best Sports Movie Scenes

Hey Dad.  Do you want to have a catch?

May 14, 2009

With so many great sports movies, these scenes run the gamut from inspiring to hilarious. They're fun to watch and almost impossible to rank. By the time you're done with the list, I guarantee you'll have a few old favorites added to the old Netflix queue.

4The Sandlot
The greatest sports movie for kids ever. Hands down. End of discussion. Anyone who grew up playing sports can related to this movie. And for all of us boys, we had our Wendy Peffercorn but probably lacked the courage of Squints.

3Tin Cup
The going for it scene. The entire movie is built around this hole and this shot. What's so great about the scene is that even when Ray takes himself miserably out of contention, you find yourself hanging on to every shot as if it's the one to win the tournament.

If this scene and musical score don't give you chills, you're not human. Ever seen the actual footage from the Rudy game?
