Sports Movies - What event made you cry?

[Haui]

My favorite story is Cinderella Man at the very end when James Braddock beat the tar out of Max Baer. Still the most emotional and heart pounding "TRUE" moment in a sports movie.

What about you?

Both happen to baseball movies:
1. Ray Kinsella playing catch with his dad in Field of Dreams.
2. Crash Davis getting released in Bull Durham. (best baseball movie ever!)

This made me cry...with laughter:

Bob Barker beating the crap out of Happy Gilmore!

wow, can't believe i forgot that movie, remebered watching it as a kid and balling my eyes out.

When they came up a yard short in Friday Night Lights. Also, Miracle.

I got choked up a bit at the end of Rudy when the dad gets all excited and starts saying "That's my boy!".

Cuba Gooding Jr in "Radio".

Cuba Gooding Jr in "Jerry McGuire"

 

[yowolabi]

When they started chanting for Rudy.

I really can't get into drama sports movies (Major League, on the other hand, is a favorite). Just strikes me as absurd to get emotional over a ball.

[Feldenak]

Miracle: "Do you believe in miracles?!?"
Field of Dreams: Playing catch with his dad
Rudy: When his dad finally comes to his senses at the ball game

 

[R Nilla]

The ends of Rudy, The Natural, and He Got Game. Does Gladiator count?

Rudy and Radio were the first two I thought about.

the champ
the natural
cinderella man

probably not considered a sports movie but still has the poignant father/son relationship:

searching for bobby fisher

i'm the opposite. aside from "bad news bears" types, sports movies are very moving to me.

I always had a soft spot for that golden retriever who could play all those sports. I think it was Air Bud.

 

[iRONic]

"Miracle"

 

[NuclearNed]

The fight scene at the end of the first Rocky, starting with the part where it is obvious Rocky has nothing left, but still wills himself to stay on his feet. And of course the part where he embraces Adrian.

Rudy - beginning where the players start to chant his name.

[Jhill]

Caddyshack, when he wins at the end due to the miracle.
