I rented Benchwarmers tonight and it is freaking halarious!

May not be a great sports movie, but it's a great 'stupid comedy' , especially if you're a baseball fan. :lol:

Big thanks for including the pic with that recommendation! I wouldn't have known how much I should have recoiled from my screen simply based on the title alone.

My list of favorites:

Field of Dreams
Pride of the Yankees
Bad News Bears
Rollerball (original)
North Dallas 40
Grand Prix
The World's Fastest Indian

The last one stars Sir Anthony Hopkins as he travels from New Zealand to Utah in the early 60's to try to set a speed record on his 20's era motorcycle. Very heartwarming story even if it does take a few liberties with the facts.
