2. Seabiscuit

Love horses, love the story, love the characters in the movie. Great movie.

Another one my friend swears by is Rudy.

21. I'll second that!
I've always admired jockeys and loved horse racing. Those jockeys are tough. And the horses are gorgeous. Not that I agree with everything about the sport, but I do love it. Sport of Kings.

Seabiscuit did have wonderful characters, mostly based on the real people. Red must have been a very interesting person. Toby Maguire did a great job acting in this movie.

I voted for Bull Durham :)

19. I think I'm ready to see Raging Bull again
I saw it about 10 years ago and I don't remember it being very remarkable. Probably a tough movie to get when you're 19.

28. I put in the first vote for Major League. Slap Shot is currently winning, but
I couldn't vote for it because of the stupid ending.
