    You know those movies that send chills throughout your whole body. I consider those types of movies as the best. My personal favorites are:
    We Are Marshall
    Miracle
    Hoosiers
    The Pistol
    Rudy

    Along with listing your favorites, list the moments in those movies that sent the chills down your back. Like this:
    We Are Marshall - The whole movie sent chills down my back. Great Movie.
    Miracle - Beating the Soviets, and Herb Brooks Speech. "USA, USA, USA"
    Hoosiers - Norman Dale's speech at the end.
    The Pistol - Press Maravich's speeches to young Pete, and the storyline.
    Rudy - When the stadium starts to chant "Rudy, Rudy, Rudy"

    I watched We Are Marshall just a moment ago, and let me tell you, that movie might of sent the most chills down my back as anything ever has before.

    We Are Marshall always makes me tear up.

    When the player with the shoulder injury gets practically the entire town outside the meeting to chant "we are... MARSHALL" is ridiculous.

    But it's taken me a while to watch Invincible with Marky Mark... i found that to be an inspirational story as well.

    I thought the Blindside was pretty bad too, I also forgot to mention that I did not like We are Marshall either. There are very few sports movies that are actually good. The only somewhat recent one that is actually good imo is Remember the Titans

    We Are Marshall may be an excellent screen play.

    But having this turd in it really made it hard for me to take it seriously.

    Obviously the only sports movie you need to watch is Bend It Like Beckham

    Agreed, that part alone just made me absoultely unable to move. "No sir, I ain't got nothing to say, but they do." By far one of the most inspiring moments in movie history.

    I forgot to throw in there Invincible, Field of Dreams, and Remember the Titans, I knew I was forgetting some, so I just left it up to yall to make me remember.
