That Miracle one about hockey was okay. Also, I liked Mystery, Alaska. Actually, I've pretty much seen every hockey movie made, including the worst ones ever (ie, Slapshot 2- don't ever see that movie). My dad used to all-out bawl at Hoosiers... which I guess may be why I have a soft spot for it. But yeah... sports movies suck, even though I actively enjoy sports.
That's true, sports movie do tend to suck. I wonder why. Maybe because there's only so many narratives w/in sports. But just because most are lame doesn't mean that SLAP SHOT isn't totally awesome by any* metric.
FWIW: the only reason I left off HOOSIERS was that I haven't seen it yet.
