The best found footage movie ever made and one of my all-time favourite foreign language films, I absolutely love this movie. A total blast.

Best competitive arm-wrestling, trucking driving, father trying to do good by his son movie ever.

Yes, I own it. Yes, I’ve seen it. There are no words, but there were plenty of visuals.

“By Grabthar’s hammer… what a savings.”

The only film I have ever watched, rewound (yes, rewound) and the immediately watched again.  Love me some Sorkin.

“You’re not the man I knew ten years ago.” “It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.”

“Singing. Fun. Um, let me think, this is hard… girls.”

5. Bad News Bears, The (2005)

I love baseball movies. They are my favorite sports film genre. I don’t know whether it’s because there’s so much history, or because so much can happen in a game that can effect the outcome so there can be lots of little twists and turns along the way that are plausible or maybe because I played 13+ years of little league ball myself. Whichever the case, there’s no denying my affinity. I’m not going to argue that Major League is a better movie than Bull Durham. It probably isn’t. I just can’t wipe the goofy grin off my face or the goosebumps off my arms whenever Ricky Vaughn steps out of the bullpen. I feel A League of Their Own is a very underrated movie. There may be no crying in baseball, but it’s hard not to get emotional while watching this movie. Jon Lovitz steals every scene he’s in. I apologize for having the Bad News Bears remake on the list. I haven’t seen the original so I can’t include it. I thought Billy Bob was perfectly cast and the movie is actually quite funny.  And of course, The Sandlot is just very nostalgic.
