GREATEST SPORTS MOVIE OF ALL TIME TOURNAMENT - Round of 32 - VOTING CLOSED
Posted on 9/3/19 at 3:23 pm
Posted on 9/3/19 at 3:23 pm
There were 131 movies nominated, but only the top 32 vote getters made it. This bracket is made up of YOUR VOTES, not my personal opinion/rankings. NB4 This list is garbage, (insert random movie) is seeded way too low and this tournament sucks without (insert random movie).
There were a few surprises but overall I think its a solid tournament. Not surprising, Baseball leads the way with 10 movies followed by football with 7.
I'll explain the very basic and logical way the seedings work in the next post.
If you haven't seen either of the movies, don't vote just to vote, leave that answer blank.
Copy and paste version of the bracket:
THE BAND IS OUT ON THE FIELD! REGION:
1. Major League
16. The Longest Yard (1974)
8. Moneyball
9. Friday Night Lights
5. Bad News Bears (1976)
12. The Replacements
4. Eight Men Out
13. Brian's Song
6. Raging Bull
11. Happy Gilmore
3. Hoosiers
14. Karate Kid
7. Remember the Titans
10. A League of Their Own
2. The Natural
15. Everybody's All-American
DOWN GOES FRAZIER! REGION
1. Rocky
16. Pride of the Yankees
8. Miracle
9. White Men Can't Jump
5. Rudy
12. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
4. Caddyshack
13. Chariots of Fire
6. Tin Cup
11. Cinderella Man
3. Bull Durham
14. Kingpin
7. The Sandlot
10. Slap Shot
2. Field of Dreams
15. The Wrestler

Some brutal seeding here
FNL vs. Moneyball, either of which could be legit contenders for the best true sports movie
Chariots of Fire is a all-timer movie that'll lose in a landslide to a fan favorite

The seeding went like this:
Top vote getter got the #1 seed. The second most votes got the next #1 seed, and so on and so on all the way down.
When two movies got the same amount of votes, I went to IMDB and whichever movie had the highest rating got the higher seed.
There was a tie between 10 movies that had five votes and there were only 3 spots left in the bracket. Of the 10, the three highest IMDB scores were The Wrestler (7.9), Pride of the Yankees (7.7) and The Longest Yard (7.1). So they got one #15 seed and both #16 seeds.
The last seven to miss the tournament were North Dallas Forty (7.0 rating, missed the tournament by 0.1), Cool Runnings (6.9), Goon (6.8), Varsity Blues (6.5), BASEketball (6.5), The Little Giants (6.4) and Blue Chips (6.2).
I didnt do them at random, Major League (the higest vote getter) plays the last one in, The Longest Yard. The next highest vote getter, Rocky, plays the 2nd to last one in, Pride of the Yankees. I worked it like that throughout the seeding.
Enjoy

Yea I could make an argument for both movies on a number of these.

Raging Bull vs Happy Gilmore might get interesting. Both really good for two completely different reasons.

One more vote and it would have made it. Lost in a tie-breaker. IMDB rating isnt super kind to Goon.

Also The replacements is a terrible remake of Necessary roughness
Probably the only movie out of the entire bracket that I dont like.

I mentioned it on the nomination round but I think this is probably the most overrated sports movie of all time.

Raging Bull is one of my favorite all time movies but going against a campy comedy, it will probably lose to a younger generation.
