My Top 10 Favorite Sports Movies

I decided to put a list of my favorite sports movies list since college football season is around the corner and also the NFL football season is beginning next weekend. Since there are no movies that are interesting coming out this weekend, I decided to glance at my favorite top 10 sports movies and that is a hard task to do trying to figure out what is my favorite and what are my favorite "rewatchable" movies. Without further ado, here are my favorite top 10 with a little honorable mention list:

Honorable Mentions:
Senna
Rush
McFarland, USA
Rudy (more of a school coming-of-age true story than football movie)
Bend It Like Beckham
The Wrestler
A League of their Own
Happy Gilmore
The Bad News Bears (1976)
The Fighter (more of a family drama than a sports movie, tough putting it off the list)
Caddyshack (more of a future pick for comedy than sports movies)

8. Remember the Titans

7. Warrior

6. Miracle

5. Bull Durham

Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is enduring a hot summer and Dudley (Harry Melling) provokes him by making fun of the fact that Harry is haunted by Cedric's death from The Goblet of Fire and also his mom's death. As a storm approaches, demeanors come into the tunnel sucking Dudley's so...

Non-Stop (2014), PG-13, 3 stars

The passengers think Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) is a terrorist. Airports and airplanes. The lines. The crowds. The delays. Everything that Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) hates about flying. When it comes to airports, I have to go through the procedure with taking your carry-on baggage and luggage on the flight. Then, I go through security which I have to admit is not as bad, just follow the rules and guidelines. After security, what do you do? If you are two or three hours early, you have time to kill: Have something to eat, watch something on your IPad, shop, etc. As you board and get on the plane, anything can happen from turbulence to maybe something unexpected like this movie's situation. This movie is silly and preposterous, but it is a fun movie to watch. The movie opens with Bill Marks tired drinking alcohol and arguing with a supervisor on his cellphone glancing at a photo of his daughter. But, he is trying to get his act together by lighting a cigarette while he is being pus...
