Say What Again
Escape to Victory, for me

 

What? No 'A Shot At Glory' starring the leg-end?

Field of Dreams and Bull Durham.

 

I would go for "Bull Durham" then "Field of Dreams"

 

Bull Durham was made by Ron Shelton whose love for the sport shines through. I'm not really a basebal fan, but when I do catch it I always seem to look out for the Crash Davies and Calvin 'Nuke' Laloosh characters.

 

Never seem to come across a 'Annie Savoy' though :(

 

The script, a bit wordy but very poetic, and the cinematography comes over as very evocative of that part of the states.

 

Oh and I nearly forgot, Susan Sarandon :dribble:

You've got to be joking.

On a serious note it has to be Raging Bull because it is one of the finest movies ever made.

 

On a silly note, Rocky or Cool Runnings have to be up there!

Oxford City

Raging Bull, or This Sporting Life with an extraordinary performance by Richard Harris as a rugby league player which is as good as Marlon Brando in its depiction of rage, frustration and inarticulacy. A very depressing film but fantastic.

 

And Shaolin Soccer is very funny.

 

Honourable mention to Gregory's Girl (it's good, it's modern).
