That's why the only good sports movies are baseball movies... No one remembers football movies.

Dude you are crazy... what are some memorable baseball movies?

Football :

Remember the Titans
Friday Night Lights
Longest Yard
The Replacements
Jerry Maguire

Baseball :

umm...

Field of Dreams
The Rookie?
um...
For Love of the Game was good...

but yeah, way more football movies then baseball movies.

The Natural and Field of Dreams are immortal movies.

These other movies are fun movies, but not in the same light. Baseball was America's game up until the late 80's. So for 100 years it was the stand alone National Past-time with the richest history of any other sport. Lets give respect where it's due.

dude and the only reason the natural was good was because of Robert Redford... ONLY reason.

It was good because it was an underdog story.

What's also funny about your list, is that all of those movies except one were made after 1996. So that further proves my point that football reached it's popularity relatively recently.

Rudy still came out after baseball went in decline mode. It is a great movie.

in general sports movies usually stink. but rudy was awesome. all baseball movies make me want to kill myself. i mean come on, angels in the outfield? what a joke.

i think most people would rather watch guys hitting each other so hard their helmets fly off, than watch a fat loser hit a ball with a stick...oh yeah, and football has hot cheerleaders, base does not.

pretty much baseball is stupid, dumb, and boring, and it doesn't take any talent. football on the other hand is the greatest most entertaining sport of them all, and takes a lot more talent than baseball.

Elway couldn't make it in baseball. Drew Henson couldn't. Jordan couldn't. Bo Jackson could but ended up losing his career because of the reason you named, people hitting so hard.

Maybe real violence is a great thing to you, but how many players have been paralyzed from baseball? Guys die working out in Football because of the pads they have to put on, which just shows they have to be protected so much.

Many players could play both, but chose baseball because they could play longer and get more money. So many good baseball players were good college football players, so if you make fun of baseball, you make fun of football. Ask anyone who knows, college guys would pick baseball but choose football because its easier. Football has had the XFL and now the AFL, which are both jokes.

Saying Angels in the outfield is a bad baseball movie is like me saying Air Bud: Golden Receiver is a bad football movie.

Rudy was great, i damn near cry at the end of the movie when he takes the field. Football cheerleaders are hot, but the baseketball ones are better so you didn't even pick them in the hottest sport.

If you dont like baseball who cares? Say its dumb and boring all you want. Football is a great sport but at its core its the same as all other sports, run fast, be strong and watch the ball. I can understand why anyone would think it is the greatest sport so i would never say anyone is stupid for thinking otherwise.
