Criminally underrated. Loved it as a kid because of Shaq and Penny, but watching it as an adult is even better when you understand the seediness of college sports.

JT Walsh (RIP) was awesome as the scumbag alumnus booster.

Didn't think Angels in the Outfield was underrated, but I certainly second if it fits the category.

Also seconding:
Little Giants (obviously)
Mean Green
Goon

Little Big League gets overshadowed by The Sandlot and Rookie of the Year but its really good too.


Little Big League is so much better than Rookie of the Year. I will never understand how people don't see that.

I just need to make sure that the reason I haven't seen Remember the Titans on this list is because everyone knows it's the best football movie of all time, right?

Anything but a #1 ranking and it's underrated.

Its universally regarded as one of the best sports movies of all time I think.

It would be like putting The Sandlot in this thread. We all know its great.

I vote for Goon.

Love that movie and always recommend it to people looking for an easy to watch sports flick on netflix.

I mentioned this before, but this movie has some of the best sports-themed content I've seen over the years:



Hit this if you don't believe me.

Is this the thread that devolves into people naming the most obscure sports moves they can find on IMDB?
In that case, I nominate this forgotten gem::



It's a tragedy that Julius Erving and Jonathon Winters didn't do more films together.
