I haven't seen The Hustler, so I'm gonna let Rocky have his victory. Didn't like any of the sequels too much, but the original stood the test of time rather nicely: a well-acted and skilfully written (was it really Sly?) movie that deserves all the awards it got.

Love, love, love ROCKY! I've seen all the sequels, but they don't really exist in my world.  FIELD OF DREAMS is excellent too. |

Rocky is great, Field of Dreams is great, but I can't help but really love Karate Kid. If I'm ever flipping through the channels and it's on, I watch it. Can't say the same for the others.

I enjoy it, but KARATE KID is more like a guilty pleasure for me. It's basically ROCKY with martial arts. Both were even directed by the same director, John G. Avildsen. Pat Morita is great though as Mr. Miyagi. "Wax on, wax off." |

About the only sports movies I watch are football ones i.e. 'Brian's Song', 'Any Given Sunday', 'Radio' etc...
But I went w/ Raging Bull in this one...Karate Kid would be my second choice.

Any Given Sunday is great! I should have put it in the poll probably. On the other hand - it's not yet a classic while even The Karate Kid (guilty pleasure or not) definitely is.

I agree...but they are two very different kind of movies so.... each one is great in their own way.

Where is Jerry Maguire? Technically that is a sports movie. I really enjoyed that.
Oh and The Great White Hype is really good, very clever and has a real subtle subtext that alot of people dont get.
But yeah Rocky 'rocks'.

I agree that technically Jerry Maguire IS a sport movie; but - at least for me - in comparison with the other films in the poll it's somehow less so.
Never saw The Great White Hype.
