7. Miracle – This is my all time favorite, though initially I was a bit skeptical about the movie. Usually they find a way to screw up history. But amazingly, Disney stuck to the story nearly perfectly. By involving everyone from the original team in the making of the movie, including the late Herb Brooks, they made sure the movie was accurate. I love having Al Michaels call the action; it feels like I'm actually watching the real game!
6. He Got Game – Who could afford to miss this one? This film records high school senior Jesus Shuttlesworth, the best college basketball prospect in the country, as he deals with pressures from his father and girlfriend who are trying to influence his decision for their own benefit. Ray Allen is the perfect choice for Shuttlesworth because Allen was Shuttlesworth in real life a few years before that. How many actors can make that claim?
5. Eight Men Out – This is a kind of documentary film, that’s the reason why it is not popular with the masses but surely with the sport loves community! The best part of the movie was that they didn't try to dumb it down for Hollywood - they made a point to follow the story as it was told in the book.
4. Field of Dreams - This movie, I feel should essentially be favorite among sports fans and non sports fans. Sports fans will love how they work in Shoeless Joe and other classic greats. Non sports fans will appreciate the fantastic journey that Ray takes to build the field of his dreams. "If you build it, he will come" is one of the great movie quotes of all time.
