definitely one of my top genres of films

I like to consume I'm excited to see how

how you guys feel about some of these

some of them a lot more film than movie

and others are a lot more movie than

film there's a difference between a film

but we're doing a tier list again of a

bunch of sports movies we've compiled uh

some of us have seen them some of us

haven't it you'll get the gist of it as

we go along but the tiers we have are

best of the best great solid nah and bad

these are the typical tiers that I do

here on the channel and before we get

three now it's linked down below we do

talks like this every single week tier

lists rankings talking college football

we have an absolute blast so check that

out link down below go subscribe the

first movie we have on this tier list

though do you believe in miracles

because we've got Miracle Undisputed

goaded uh hockey movie and arguably the

best sports movie ever there's a

discussion to be had Kurt Russell plays

her Brooks in this film it tells the

story of the 1980 US Olympic hockey team

and it is so damn inspirational every

time it's not just the move like it's

not just one moment there's multiple

scene after after scene that gives me

goosebumps and chills I love it and I

think I can speak for all of us this is

this is probably going pretty high I

know I know you're a big fan of this one

too one of those movies that like your

dad

tells you about when you're like you

know eight nine ten somewhere in there

you're like okay whatever dad and then

you finally sit down and watch it and

it's like my life is forever changed

easily a top poor sports movie for me

probably higher my childhood every time

like Olympics summer or winter roll

around I'm watching Miracle 100 it's in

my top three it's I always say in the

videos like it's between this and then

two other movies we're gonna talk about

later but Brandon I believe you just

watched this film recently for the first

time so I'd love to get your perspective

on it as a newcomer to this damn great

film yeah I was um admittedly I was a

bit late to the party here I think I

watched this maybe a few weeks ago it

was it was really recent I made it

through 23 years of life without seeing

it that being said damn good film um I

don't know too much about hockey

um you know living in Atlanta the

Atlanta area they took away our hockey

team I've never been a super big fan of

hockey but honestly I don't think you

need to know like [ __ ] about hockey for

this movie it's just inspirational

motivational I mean Kurt Russell kills

it in this film only having seen it once

I'd be willing to put it at least top

five I'm actually sliding up the best of

the best right now a great way to start

the start the tier Great Moments are

born a great opportunity at the end when

it cuts to the real life broadcast

chills every like I'm getting chills

right now I'm just thinking about it

it's like but next up we are staying in

the realm of the ice skating rink as

we've got uh Blades of Glory featuring

Will Ferrell as Chas Michael Michaels

this movie's hilarious in Brandon have

you seen this one I don't think you have

have you have not I need to watch it I

think I've seen there's so many films on

Tick Tock nowadays I think I've seen

like three or four Clips over there um

so I kind of know the gist but I haven't

seen it front to back so I'll let you

y'all take the reins on this one but so

yeah I think it's probably a pretty good

film as far as Comedy Sports movies

next time we get together we're watching

that one uh oh yeah it's funny on

multiple levels that The Supporting Cast

is great it's so damn quotable one of my

favorite bits is when they're like

training the treadmill and uh a certain

song uses a a sound bite from from this

film later on which is just funny you

guys know what I'm talking about but

yeah Noah you and I have talked about

this one I mean it's hilarious it's not

like Elite to me in terms of Comedy but

it's really solid I would say Will

Ferrell had a stretch in the late 2000s

yeah where it was I wouldn't say like

two or three maybe even four years in a

row where he would just pump out like

just absolute bangers I think it started

with old school Semi-Pro is great also

very underrated old school Anchorman

Semi-Pro Talladega Nights the other guys

it was like from like 03 to 20 years

like Elite stat yeah definitely yeah and

like you said this movie is so damn

quotable no one knows what it means but

it's provocative yeah get some people

going I mean yeah Eileen's solid but

like it's in that category of like man

movies at least for Our Generation yeah

it's a uh a film you get together with

your friends with and you consume a

couple beverages I I agree wholehearted

it's a good bro down movie moving on to

a bit of a more serious film we've got

Samuel L Jackson as Coach Carter I think

to me actually it's probably unless I'm

forgetting something it's probably my

favorite basketball movie uh like I

really just love Samuel Jackson's

performance here this is I believe

Channing Tatum's uh first role on film

so that's something to write home about

I believe so it's inspirational but I've

caught this one a few times and uh and

and Brandon I want to get your thoughts

on Coach Carter I think I'm on the same

train as you um as far as basketball

movies go I think that's probably up

there if not one very close to being one

I've seen this a couple of times but

damn good film in my opinion Samuel

Jackson obviously has a fantastic

performance there's you know like you

said a few a few stars in that movie

Channing Tatum I think some other guys I

think this false probably somewhere

upper great I don't know about best of

the best but I think there's an argument

to be had yeah I mean you all said it as

far as basketball movies and I think

honestly Sports movies in general you

don't really see a sports movie try to

tackle like a bigger issue a lot of the

time and I think this one does it and

does it well like with the whole as a

student athlete the word student comes

first I think I have it in great I'm

willing to listen to solid or best of

the best it's definitely a very

underrated sports movie I'm putting it

in great I think that we all can agree

there like it's a great film it's not

one of the Mount Rushmore of like sports

films to me but it's a top I I would say

it probably cracks my top ten another

movie that the arguments can be made

there for a top 10 sports film is sort

of a soft reboot of an iconic franchise

but it's not really it's more of a

legacy sequel in a way Creed starring

Michael B Jordan as Adonis son of Apollo

Creed Sylvester Stallone I've said this

on the channel a thousand times you guys

know I get fired up about it he should

have won the damn Oscar the movie's

incredible goes toe-to-toe with like the

first Rocky in my opinion I've praised

this movie so much on channel you guys

know how I feel Creed's damn good now I

wouldn't go best of the best but I would

put it over Coach Carter in the great

tier for me personally I think I like it

there I've seen both both Creeds I need

to re-watch because admittedly I feel

like it's been a couple years since I've

seen either of the films but I remember

you know watching watching those when

they first came out got what was that

2016 maybe

um but Michael B Jordan kills it um like

you said I think it goes toe-to-toe with

some of those Rocky films probably above

Coach Carter definitely a great one I am

absolutely the opposite of Brandon I

just re-watched those probably a couple

weeks ago actually Creed one and two

still haven't seen the third installment

but looking forward to that one I think

it's a great way to continue Rocky

Balboa's story I really like this movie

kind of the same story for a new

generation in a way I really like how it

defines the Legacy him trying to make

his own name apart from his mother with

Connie Johnson yeah great stuff who does

that really well I'm throwing it in

Great above Coach Carter um you can

watch my full uh ranking of all nine

rocky and Creed films I'll link the

video up above but next we've got a

movie that these gentlemen haven't seen

and it's actually probably the main

inspiration for this video air the Ben

Affleck directed film that just hit

theaters you guys can check out my

reviewer slash out of feed reaction to

that on the channel now air was a movie

that I really appreciate it was

fascinating to me it was almost like a

history lesson into like the shoe game

of the 80s Adidas versus Converse versus

Nike and how Nike uh Sunny vacaro is the

main character played by Matt Damon how

he was like the main pivotal force in

trying to get Michael Jordan to sign

with Nike uh Ben Affleck plays Phil

Knight it's it's just really an

entertaining ass movie um I was a little

sleepy a little tired when I first saw

it so that kind of Tainted my experience

and it does it drags a little in the

first 30 minutes or so but once a

certain scene with Viola Davis comes in

who plays Michael Jordan's mom this

movie goes to the next level the thing

about it is a lot of these movies have a

legacy and so like it's hard to go above

them with the movie just came out

yesterday as of filming this so I think

for now I would go the top of solid but

again on rewatch and after years this

could totally change so right now I'm it

above Blades of Glory in a solid tier a

few re-watches though and maybe watching

with the boys could change my opinion on

it how great is Viola Davis oh my gosh

all times he's incredible Alzheimer you

know it's not an Alzheimer

Space Jam 2 which I think is called

either Legacy or new Legacy or something

no I want you to Flame this movie

I'm just gonna say holy [ __ ] where where

to start um the effort was made they did

not stick The Landing whatsoever Don

Cheadle seems like the most pointless

casting ever I actually I forgot he was

in the movie until you just said that

like I forgot a lot of this film

probably the corniest joke I have ever

heard was his name ready let it sink in

all right algae Rhythm yeah oh yeah hey

I remember that now terrible it's it's

described that's not good that's not

good yeah and I get it it's a kids movie

I can't bring myself to like it I I will

likely never watch it again I won't

either I think the main issue with the

film is that it lacks any emotional

compelling story because it's so clearly

just forcing Warner Bros IP down our

throat to the point of like why should I

care it was like as kids we were like oh

we need to make another one with LeBron

or something and it finally happened and

that was cool but like I don't think any

of the Space Jam movies are actually

good we'll talk about the first one

later but this movie just stunk and it

was like oh there's Pennywise it was

basically became a guessing game of of

like Easter eggs yeah and that wasn't my

thing walking billboard yeah it's bad

I'm putting it in bad yeah not much else

to say there I don't think I'll ever get

around to watching it personally I hate

to spend time talking about it but the

fact that the actual basketball game

itself like invented rules just pissed

me off pissed me right off there was I'm

a very cut and dry it's it's a

basketball movie it needs to be played

fairly and it was just it became

ridiculous like where you could score

like thousands of points it was so

stupid anyway should we go ahead and do

the first one just to knock it out

because I I can compare them all day

like yeah I just moved it up to the

front of the tier here so let's talk the

first one it's better but it's not good

to your point that you just made with

them inventing rules to the basketball

game I agree with you it's pointless uh

at least in the first one when it defies

physics like it does like with the whole

Michael Jordan like stretching and yeah

you know all of that it's in Looney Tune

world that can happen in a cartoon world

inventing rules like we're playing

basketball don't try to change the game

yeah becomes something it's not if you

want to make a basketball movie make a

basketball movie I agree completely and

I think the first one beats out the

second because frankly it's just more

iconic at this point and and and that's

really it it just feels less of a

product it's got some charm to it I

think it's a mad movie like that's where

I'm leaning to put it yeah

um but Brandon you've seen the first

Space Jam right I have it's been a while

but I have things

um it's a classic that's really all the

weight it holds in my opinion it's a

kids movie it's fun it's not nearly as

bad or at least it doesn't seem like

it's nearly as bad as the second one

kind of just one of those movies that's

like it's iconic but does that actually

mean it's good I don't think so I don't

think anyone watching this video has

seen this movie we're about to talk

about I think this is a very Niche movie

for people who grew up in like the South

and probably played football in their

youth Facing the Giants is it's like a

movie that it's out there and I think

it's like a faith-based movie and it's

super cheesy and really poorly acted and

like almost laughable at how corny the

end is I think this kid hits like I'm

just gonna spoil it I don't care this

kid hits like a 60-yard field goal it's

like I forgot about that oh my gosh it's

like slow-mo and there's like a dad

who's just proud it's like it's almost

like a Hallmark movie right honestly not

a bad movie I would probably go mad

because I take it over Space Jam too but

you guys if you haven't watched this I

feel like it's almost worth experiencing

there's a scene that they show in like a

ton of like motivate like in in high

school we watched it in a class your

coaches have probably showed it to you

it's like the bear crawl scene where uh

this guy gets a blindfold on him and

he's only supposed to go like 50 yards

and he ends up pushing himself and going

100 yards basically showing you know you

can do whatever you set your mind to so

it's really cheesy and on the nose like

that but that scene is still somehow

chilling in a weird way I still think I

would go mad over over Space Jam too

though I agree so what you said about

you think it was like a faith-based

production company it is right just I

just Googled it Sherwood pictures an

American Independent Christian film

production company they also have a a

movie about thought as a firefighters is

that the police officer one I think it's

called like correct yeah I've heard of

that one and then one about fireproof

who is a firefighter with a struggling

marriage yeah

The Unofficial Trilogy yes it's the uh

Sherwood Cinematic Universe yeah I I

agree it's a very Niche movie I think

we're probably the only the three of the

only people who have ever seen it that

being said better than Space Jam 2. yeah

it's going mad so now I wouldn't I would

put the first Space Jam over it though

because of Michael Jordan Alone staying

in the comedy genre I guess if you want

to do Facing the Giants as a comedy but

Caddyshack is the next movie here this

is an 80s classic it's not as hilarious

as I wanted it to be but uh Bill Murray

is the standout here I think everyone

can agree he is just so damn funny

trying to catch that that gopher not the

funniest thing I've ever seen I think

it's at your house Noah right there's

like a caddy poster or something yeah

it's a dad movie dude it's another dad

movie yeah

um I recently got around to watching

this one for the first time I would say

a year or two ago this is when I heard

about how much of an [ __ ] Chevy Chase

yeah was during his time at SNL and all

that I think that kind of affected my

perception of it like obviously his

character is very uh abrasive I'll just

leave it at that I mean Dad movies it's

funny but it's not amazing Brandon have

you seen it

I'd like to yeah I've heard it it's

obviously a classic in its own right but

I have not gotten around to watch it

you're right Chris uh Bill Murray does

steal the show he totally does oh yeah

he's great yes I don't know if I can

actually put it in solid because like I

get like there's a temptation to because

of the name and like the fact that it's

that Dad movie that we hear like our

dads talk about but at the end of the

day I don't really think it's even like

that solid like I remember being a

little boring surprisingly I would put

it in mad but I would probably put it

over Facing the Giants and I would watch

it over Space Jam still just because of

the filmery moments so I'm fine with

math you are Noah I like that and I just

remembered that like I guess it was like

a mini feud between That Old Country

Club member and like the new the new

money guy yeah and that's just like

watching it he was getting on to the

newer Country Club member sorry spoilers

for like playing playing music and

drinking on the golf course I do that

all the time yeah what that's the whole

point the next movie here we've got is

uh is McConaughey himself and We Are

Marshall this is another one that we all

probably watch growing up I really have

a soft spot for it

um I watch his speech a lot obviously

the story it's based on a true story of

the Marshall Thundering Herd football

team and like the team majority of the

team died in a plane crash very tragic

story

um but it's also a very uplifting film

and McConaughey's speech near the end

just every time it gets me going it gets

me fired up it has been a while I feel

like I'm saying this for a lot of these

movies I've seen it one

um but you know just an awful awful

story with the you know the Marshall

team but I really think the film did you

know the story Justice a very

motivational uplifting film McConaughey

kills it I need to go back and watch

that speech because I vaguely remember

what you're talking about yeah but I

think it's I think it's probably at

least top five football phones for me

you know obviously better than Facing

the Giants but um I think it's a really

solid movie yeah I'm there I'd probably

put it above Blades of Glory I can't

speak to air yeah I I love this one I've

also only seen it once it's one of those

where it's like it's got pretty heavy

subject matter so it's like kind of hard

to re-watch I feel that way about

Interstellar I recently watched that for

the second time Shout Out Mr Bowie for

uh let me borrow that and I just think

the story of that assistant coach who

after the accident wanted to stop

coaching all together and McConaughey's

character the head coach brings him back

I I just think that whole part of the

story is so incredible one of those

movies where you just got chilling

moments multiple times I'll put it

inside solid above air the reason being

this is no slight to air for those

watching wondering why isn't air hired I

have to like I can't put a movie that

high immediately unless I just loved it

air is still really really solid We Are

Marshall I got that Nostalgia and I

pulled up the speech I just want to say

one of the lines uh when McConaughey

says when you take that field today

you've got to lay that hard on the

linemen from the soles of your feet with

every ounce of blood you've got in your

body lay that on the line until the

final whistle blows and if you do that

we cannot lose

he is so good dude he is so good you do

a good McConnell here my friend yeah

that was convincing all right so the

next movie we got is the fighter which I

don't think either of you gentlemen have

seen but again I think it's worth a

watch Christian Bale actually won an

Oscar for this supporting actor Mark

Wahlberg is the main character it's a

strong Brotherhood story

um it's a really actually compelling

true story and it's less about like the

actual boxing more about like the family

drama but I think it's a great movie

like I would I would put it over what we

have in solid so far but I wouldn't go

above Creator Coach Carter so I'm going

to place it at the back of great but um

the thing about it is it's like not one

of those movies You're Gonna Go re-watch

a bunch because of the heavy subject

material

um but it's still a great film in my

opinion moving on we've got Invincible

which I think all of us have seen right

Invincible with Mark Wahlberg a double

Mark Wahlberg feature yeah say hi to

[ __ ] all right

Invincible is one of those uh like 2000s

Disney Sports films that's pretty

enjoyable it's it's run of the mill

there I say like it's a little

predictable it's it's not pushing the

boundaries I I lean like solid I don't

think it's a mad movie because it has

some pretty pretty awesome moments when

they're like playing football in the mud

out in like the rain that's like my

favorite scene

um yeah it is no where would you go with

this solid man what are you feeling yeah

definitely solid uh I haven't seen this

probably since I was like I want to say

13 or 14. that sounds about right for me

as well it's been a few years um I mean

a good one much if you're looking for

like a football movie and you've seen

all the others I think it's a decent

addition to a pretty saturated genre I

guess it's not an upper tier football

movie in my opinion yeah yeah that's

what I'm trying to say yeah no no no

it's good uh like Noah it's been a while

since I've seen it like you said it's

kind of formulaic I mean it's a good

Underdog Story kind of like the Rudy

formula like y'all said it's not in my

upper tier when it comes to football

movies but it's not the worst out there

in in the football realm we'll go back

if solid

um sounds fitting next we've got a

comedy film I think two of the three of

us gentlemen I've seen it dodgeball

you've seen it Noah right have you um

one of those it's one of those Brandon

have you seen dodgeball I have

definitely seen dodgeball okay yeah

there's some parts of it and I know I

know the absurdity that Ben Stiller

brings to that role

it's on my list like what what streaming

service is it on where can I have no

idea I don't know but it sounds like

we've we're cooking up a nice little

double feature of Blades of Gloria

dodgeball the next time we're together

so I'm ready for that this movie is

hilarious if you could Dodge a wrench

you can dodge a ball Jason Bateman has

like a tiny tiny role that's just so

memorable in the film and it's one of

the iconic like quotable comedy movies

that is like a must-see Vince Vaughn's

comedic presence is unmatched the way

that he can just go like well you know

we're out here

we were talking about runs like we were

talking about Will Ferrell's run yeah

it's Vaughn definitely deserves to be in

the same breath he went Wedding Crashers

dodgeball I can't really speak dodgeball

obviously yeah but there's a number of

films in the same time period And even

some of the same films old school

especially he has a great appearance in

Anchorman too

yeah like I would probably say this is

better than Blades of Glory like because

I wouldn't go great with dodgeball I

don't know would you Brandon I don't

know about great but it's really solid I

it's kind of hard to compare it hard to

compare these um comedic films and some

of the ones that are that are more

serious that we'll get into later

um but this has a special place in my

heart I grew up on this movie I've spent

it multiple times

um you know been fun Ben Stiller

um it's it's so funny anybody that

hasn't seen it I would I would recommend

highly I would go above Blades of Glory

but like by hair probably

next we got 4G Ferrari have either of

you seen this one I have you have uh no

Brandon we're gonna kick it over to you

then I'd like to re-watch I've seen it

the once but I really really enjoyed it

me too you know obviously one of the

ones that's more serious in nature I'll

be honest with you guys I think this is

a damn great film I think it deserves a

spot in great over the fighter I put it

behind Coach Carter you just have a you

have a Christian Bale man crush I think

he's just one of the ghosts is what I

think he is I love him maybe it's more

Matt Damon here but I'm gonna put it in

Great uh right above uh the fighter

highly recommend if you guys haven't

seen it Undisputed uh uh greatest

Sportsman of all time I think it's like

in my top three favorite movies ever in

fact right now it's probably my favorite

movie Remember the Titans I'll do the

honors and put it at the top of best of

the best right now I think we all agree

please do yeah it was the goat Sports

film and one of the just goat films ever

I mean the the movie Not only doesn't

have a banger of a soundtrack it's

hilarious when it needs to be but it

tackles a very important issue in not

only like American history but the world

it's a film that everyone just needs to

watch right now it'll change you it's a

beautiful movie and um I cry still like

I'm not ashamed to admit like when I

watch

this the the scene with Bertier and

Julius in the hospital which everyone's

seen remember the tides it gets me every

single time I think he's like Alice

don't see the family resemblance it's my

brother

that gets me man it gets me

I'm due for rewatch as well fired up me

too so much I mean like you said this is

like like up there just like not even

Sports movies for me movies in general I

don't know another one that I grew up in

like going into this I knew this is

number one it's just for me it's

Undisputed yep it's the number one man I

mean I quote this one all the time with

you guys with anyone out there like I'll

just say random lines in my daily life

Denzel Washington I honestly believe he

could have won an Oscar for this like

he's that great in it and just the

Brotherhood relationships that form

throughout the film it's very strong and

if you played Sports of any sport or

just any team activity it's very

applicable

um and I think that it warrants the spot

and that's the best score tube Trevor

Raven composed the music it's not on

Spotify but I've been listening to it on

it gets me out hell yeah

um

oh my gosh I was like yeah score and

soundtrack both yes both of them 10 out

of 10. 10 out of 10 10 out of 10 films

yet another reason to love this one I

just everything about it like the scene

when they're the score is I think it

might be it's called Titan spirit and

it's when they start the training camp

and it's like it shows them doing up

downs and running the drills and then

he's like

how many feet are in a mile

I mean we could just do a quote off

right now we could literally I mean uh

Sunshine Ronnie bass

Sunshine is from California

the movie is it's incredible I mean and

Ryan Gosling a young Ryan Gosling he's

hilarious when he's doing the shoulder

thing with ain't no mountain absolutely

absolute liability at Corners oh my God

absolute liability burnt but hey he's in

the Barbie movie so it'll be okay yeah

he's Ken look we could talk about we

could do a whole hour long thing on our

times and probably will one day if I'm

being honest but it's incredible and it

deserves to be in best of the best

moving on we've got a film an 80s

classic The Karate Kid less sports movie

more kind of 80s teen drama but still

got some got the all Valley tournament

at the end there look it's a classic

it's iconic I have I I like this one I

feel like the most probably out of three

years I love this movie

um in terms of like pure sports movie

though I don't know if it's one of the

best of all time because it's less

sports like I mentioned more 80s drama

type movie but I still think it's great

I think this is one of the first if I'm

not mistaken one of the first sports

sports adjacent movies I've ever scene

obviously like in our area we we didn't

really have much martial arts it kind of

exposed me to a whole world like this is

a very big thing in some areas I love

this movie like it was one of the first

movies where it was like oh there's a

training montage and yeah it kind of

instilled in me early on like training

montages are badass yeah I love them

they're so famous I know you're a uh

you're a cobra Kai fan

um how do you how do you feel about uh

sweep the like John I I mean it's it's

it's a dirty move it's a it's a dirty

move for sure but um has he changed the

Cobra Kai show

the Cobra Kai show really humanizes him

and it's it's strength in my opinion is

giving us a new almost looking at the

Karate Kid the events from that film

from a new lens so I highly recommend it

if you are a fan of The Karate Kid all

uh How I Met Your Mother Ralph Marshall

I love that that's one of the best like

bits in a sitcom

fantastic it's awesome okay I I'll have

to take a look at a cobra kind though

this may be hard to compare to some of

these other ones yeah in the sense that

like y'all are saying it's kind of more

of like a I would say a social

commentary but you know it's like a teen

T movie in the 80s it's got some sports

in it but a classic in its own right one

of the ones that I feel like a lot of

kids watch growing up it might be top of

great which is is that Blasphemous or

not do we put it over Creed and Coach

Carter do we put it behind it too I

think it's clearly over the fighter in

4B Ferrari now which happens yeah yeah

it's been a long time since I've seen

Karate Kid I don't know if I would take

it over Creed or Coach Carter though

okay I'm fine with that much harder I

would I would fight I would fight for

Coach Carter I really like that I think

I've watched the film twice in the in

the past eight months so it's very fresh

on my mind the Miyagi wisdom I mean

that's what I love that mentorship if

this was like 80s movies we weren't

talking about the Jaden Smith remake

what the hell no we're actually talking

about The Next Karate Kid with Hillary

Swank now

um yeah

I should have put that one on the list

it would have gotten back no I actually

thought it was fine when I was 10 but I

haven't seen it since then a whole new

tier uh we'll go middle of great middle

of great Karate Kid okay I want to make

it known that if this was 80s films I

might go best to the best next is the

movie I Tonya quick hater here I know

you guys haven't seen it Margot Robbie

should have won the Oscar Sebastian Stan

gets his best performance here it's

tragic as hell it's honestly a messed up

true story about Tonya Harding and like

her life and everything damn great movie

I would put it above the fighter in uh

great I really do recommend this one if

and Paul Walter Hauser I don't know if

you guys like him he crushes it here uh

great film we're very well directed

Oscar nominated rightfully so who won

the Oscar that year Francis McDormand I

believe for three Billboards outside of

Missouri but she Margot Robbie should

have won next is Hoosiers it is

impressed yeah I mean well I just mean

it's impressive you just named the Oscar

winner oh oh oh I was like I thought you

were saying it's impressive that Mario

should well thank you yeah I have I

consider myself decently well versed in

in that kind of savant

oh man

um but yes next is Hoosiers I think it

came out in 1986 uh Gene Hackman Dennis

Hopper is that his name I believe is in

the film so it's a it's a classic

basketball movie it's like the

definitive I think basketball movie it's

not when I rewatch a lot I haven't seen

it in probably eight to nine years but

it is a classic rightfully so so the

lowest we can go with this is solid I

think this is actually if I'd say one of

the first Dad movies I played basketball

a little league as a kid all the way

through middle school and this is one of

the one of the ones that my dad showed

me at a young age I like it a lot I

wouldn't go great with Hoosiers just

because of the fact that I don't

re-watch as much it's a solid movie

though I think I prefer We Are Marshall

over it and then now the reason I'm

conflicted is because I definitely would

put it over the comedic films that we

have here I think I might lean air over

it right now in terms of the

rewatchability factor so we'll put it

like in the middle of solid X is Richard

quick hitter Will Smith won the Oscar

controversy at the at ceremony of course

with a slap

movie itself it really is inspiring and

the one thing I take from it is like uh

the way that that uh he instills like

discipline in his kids and the ability

to like have your next day planned out

that's something I took from this movie

like I always love to write down my

agenda for the next day before I go to

sleep at night uh John bernthal's in

this one too and he's got a great great

performance I thought he should have

gotten nominated for an Oscar uh he has

this like Wisconsin accent he's talking

like that almost and it's funny but it's

also let me tell you something

it's great so I would say solid for King

Richard I really liked it when I first

saw it I would go solid I'd probably put

it right behind air over actually we'll

go like right behind Hoosiers and air so

over the comedic films but it's a solid

watch I recommend next we have ourselves

an elite movie Moneyball

yeah yep Moneyball is a movie that I've

been thinking about it a lot lately I

think it's comfortably in my top 10

favorite movies of all time like I true

like I watch this one at least once a

year and it's so damn good Aaron Sorkin

wrote the script he also wrote the

script for the Social Network so it

makes sense how it's so fast-paced and

intelligent yeah

Jonah Hill's great dude in this he

actually got nominated for an Oscar and

so did Brad Pitt it takes a look at the

business side of the sport which is way

more fascinating to me than the actual

sport itself so well put together the

scores awesome I love it I mean I think

we have our next installment and best of

the best to me I do too I do too I've

said aside from even Sports movies just

as talking about Moves In general this

has got to be up there for me personally

um Brad Brad Pitt Jonah Hill great film

like you said kind of a fast-paced um

Go-Go but it's like you said very very

intelligent

um kind of a different perspective on on

a sports movie like you said from the

business side kind of something you

don't really see a lot of looking at um

you know into what happens with GMS and

Scouts and all that I thought it was

obviously a really good film so I think

I have that invest in the best behind um

Remember the Titans it's my number two

that's the question that I'm gonna ask

you you know as like is this over

Miracle because I didn't remember the

Titans is a clear one but is Moneyball

over Miracle that's the question now I

personally prefer it to Miracle I think

it's got a lot more at least for me

rewatchability it changed a lot for me

uh because I didn't really think about

the whole business aspect of

professional sports I didn't think of

what guys in the front office are doing

and how those things come to fruition

after I watch this like I'm so much more

like analytical I I would say the impact

of this movie will last well into the

future so I personally prefer the

miracle but that's that's a preference

thing they're both really good that's

that's tough I think they're neck and

neck it's close I'm putting Mir excuse

me I'm putting Moneyball in the middle

right now so we go Remember the Titans

won Moneyball 2 miracle three that is

earlier in the video I hinted at it

that's my top three Sports films yeah

pretty much cemented well it's 1a1b1c I

think it I think it it's up to the

beholder those are the three best and if

you don't agree I I don't care keeping

it in the baseball realm here this is

I'm always ashamed to talk about this

I've never seen The Sandlot fully and

people are like damn you you haven't

either I've never started it okay before

you roast me

they're coming for us baseball I like

I five like I I just didn't really like

it I went and went and played soccer and

football like oh I'm sorry baseball was

never really my thing I've only recently

come around on baseball so don't take me

to prison just yet I've seen moments and

I'm familiar with the iconic quotes you

know but Brandon you're the one who's

got to do the talking and heavy lifting

here for Sandlot I've seen this movie

through

a couple of times it's been a very long

time but this is for me this is more of

a childhood classic in my opinion this

isn't something I'd really you know want

to go and re-watch

um I feel like it's kind of space like

Space Jam in the sense that it's kind of

geared towards you know more of like the

the children aspect but I'd say it still

holds its own as a sports movie I would

say it's above Space Jam but when we're

talking about all these other films I

think it kind of goes lower than a lot

of them but I'd say it's a classic in

its own right I think it's worth a watch

if you're interested in baseball I'm

sure a lot of people

um who did grow up playing baseball hold

it really near and dear to their hearts

I'm Gonna Let You place this

one's in Mass so is Facing the Giants

and and Caddyshack is at the top of Matt

is it him that film low-key or would

that look that would start right like an

outrage the masses oh it will say a lot

okay no comment I can't because

um of Space Jam I kind of I kind of view

it in the same way maybe it's above

Space Jam I think it's right there with

it um I'll put it right above Space Jam

that's fine if y'all want to watch it

watch it if you don't watch it that's

honestly I don't blame you moving on

we've got probably my fourth favorite

sports film Best Picture Winner at the

Oscars it came out in 1976 I believe and

it's Rocky this is the ultimate Underdog

Story and I mean this is a movie that

actually changed me in a way because I

had the poster over my bed for a long

time and I would I watched it in the

very first time I watched it I went

downstairs into my basement I had

weights I started lifting the weights

like anytime I watch this movie it gives

me the juice is Flowing Gonna Fly Now by

Bill Conti is like the Rocky theme you

gotta gotta blast that and the whole

franchise that launches iconic I think

this has to go best of the best I think

behind the three we mentioned but I

think it's Gotta Go best of the best you

guys agree for sure yeah Rocky I need to

rewatch either to Rocky's all-timer spot

best of the best moving on if you ain't

first you're last we got Talladega

Nights The Ballad of Ricky Bobby I think

it's probably funnier than Blades of

Glory and dodgeball though I think I'd

take over dodgeball yeah I can't Blaze

of Glory but that

my favorite scene from this movie is not

one that you would think of but the

funniest scene to me truly is when he's

in the bar with Amy Adams and the

Journey song starts playing and he's

like are we about to get on right now

and then let's just start like the

dialogue there yeah

I've talked about it a lot they just

start going at it like it just makes me

laugh so hard for no reason oh my God

it's a solid movie damn you're great I

would actually say damn you're great

let's stand here yeah it's solids Will

Ferrell in the prime of his career like

you said though I wouldn't I probably

wouldn't put it too far up there I think

it just like differences in subject

matter yeah it's hard to compare it's

making fun of the culture of NASCAR

essentially

I'm comfortable in solid above dodgeball

then I'll put it there in the Solitaire

if we're good with that don't you put

that evil on me I say that one a lot

moving on we've got a movie I haven't

seen people might get mad at them

comments Rudy let's air out some

grievances here gentlemen I know we

talked before recording it's fine I'm

not the biggest Notre Dame fan out there

it's a classic right it's a classic

football movie a bit over exaggerated

most likely

um from what I've heard to me the

classic Underdog Story kind of the

formula for that kind of thing Sean

Aston right yeah Sean Aston I like him a

lot um Bob you know I think it's

stranger things Legend yes and of course

Samwise gamgee from Lord of the Rings I

might take some heat from this I know a

lot of people love this and think it's a

classic I think it's a tad bit overrated

not really one of my favorites I'm kind

of in the same boat it takes a long time

to set up like it it like yeah I know a

story like that you're supposed to kind

of be in the trenches with them and like

go through okay walk on to a program go

through four years finally have your

moment in the last game senior day

whatever it's very drawn out it almost

oversells its point of like Rudy you

should quit the football team you're

wasting your time what are you doing

it's labeled a classic and rightfully so

but I think that's just for lack of

better football movies at the time it

could have been done in like 45 less

minutes take it over Invincible person

okay

so next is the movie Warrior a film that

I have seen and I would love to show you

gentlemen at some point it's from the

same director Gavin O'Connor who did

Miracle so that should sell you uh Tom

Hardy and Joe edderton play brothers and

they both have you know different past

and histories but they are involved in

this sort of UFC tournament and it's

just a really really emotional film

dramatic so well done uh Frank Grillo

has one of the best speeches it'll get

your blood going this is an incredible

movie truly it's not one that I re-watch

a lot it's probably been I mean I've

watched clips for a bunch but it's

probably been over a decade since I

fully watched it so I'm due for the

re-watch but if I'm being honest with

you it's in the great tier and I think

you guys have to take my word for it

it's in the great tier and I would put

it damn high like almost top of great

I'm serious so good it's so good I won't

for this since you guys haven't seen it

and it's been a while I'll put it behind

Coach Carter but I will say on rewatch

that could that could crack a top five

for me there are only two movies left

and one of these is Longest Yard the

Adam Sandler version I myself have only

fully seen the original seen enough of

this I'm familiar with it I've seen the

end of it and all that so I've basically

seen it um so I kind of want to let you

two gentlemen lead the conversation here

Noah where would you put the longest

yard I honestly you haven't really met

anyone that's seen the original yeah I

just know I mean like it's a mid-2000s

remake I I just thought we would put

that out there we know it's not the

original a star soap cast like I this is

a fun movie Michael Irvin's in this

obviously Adam Sandler Chris Rock Burt

Reynolds let's go it's cool

he's the main character of the original

film joined yes Joey Diaz

right now joey yes Harry Cruz Tracy

Morgan Steve Austin wow it's a solidly

solid movie yeah it's right there with I

think orange ball and Talladega

dodgeball in the solid tier it's no it's

a fun watch that like you're home on a

Friday night when I have a couple of

adult beverages and watch a watch a

funny movie like this is a good

Contender and then there was only one

The Blind Side not made for Best Picture

Sandra Bullock got her Oscar I always

have really liked this movie I saw in

theaters with my mother and my brother

back in the day I love a good football

movie and this is this is better than We

Are Marshall to me in terms of football

films this is one of the one of my

favorites growing up as a kid I don't

know I like this a lot um growing up

playing football I like it at bottom of

great I would put it over We Are

Marshall just because such a noteworthy

movie obviously Sandra Bullock's

performance is incredible this is one of

the first sports movies I was introduced

to as I'm sure you two gentlemen also

the same generation yep we were coming

coming of age to kind of like watch

sports movies and like movies of this

nature with like more mature subject

matter I think it's bottom of great but

it's definitely open for comparison I'm

in agreement with you I would go back of

great I think just because it is one of

those movies that kind of maybe shaped

my child in a way like sort of I just

really remember seeing in theaters and

watching a ton as a kid at the end of

the day it is it does have a pretty

impactful message I think so I would go

back of great with Blind Side that's a

rap or sports movie tier list there you
