The Rudy ending sucks once you know the real story about the carrying off the field and seen the real footage of the end of the game.

Rocky 1. Even the end credits are a masterpiece.

Rocky 1


Apollo: "Ain't gonna be no rematch"

Rocky: "Don't want one."

The best is when everyone was telling Rocky to "stay down...stay down."

And when he stands up and tells Apollo to "come on..."

Apollo's reaction is one of my favorite movie moments.

Remember the Titans and Bad News Bears are my all time favorite win and lose endings.

One I always loved was Any Given Sunday, when Al Pacino announces he isn't retiring but is taking over an expansion team with Jamie Foxx as his QB. Wish the NFL ever actually pulled off that WWF shite.

Yeah people called it corny but as a kid I loved it.

It's what movies are for...things that can't happen in real life. Or can they?

Cinderella Man because it's true and not some fictional character.

The Natural


One of my favorite sports movies/endings, but the book is totally different-much darker and depressing especially the ending.

Pretty much the exact same thing happened when Wilder dropped Fury in the first fight. Fury was out and looked dead. Wilder was already celebrating until Fury rose up like Undertaker. Wilder looked like he had seen a ghost. Fury starts boxing Wilder’s ears off.
