    You can't tell me you didn't wish you could play basketball like the wolf after watching.

    That's 94. We have to trim 30.

    I think you should take out movies that were NOT released at a theater. (*61, Junction Boys)

    Movies about thigns that are marginally sports. (Best in Show, Blue Crush, Hidalgo, Rounders, American Flyers, BlackBall, Breaking Free, Step into Liquid, The Hustler, Without Limits)

    Thes us with 81.

    Next we crush movies that the central theme or character is not directly related to Sports. (Fever Pitch, The Color of Money)

    We're at 79. Someone else whittle.

    Gladiator - think about it. It is a great movie and it was considered a sport back in the day, therefor it should be a nominee.

    Well, of course he dominated in that movie...there were nothing but white guys! There was maybe ONE black guy playing basketball in that entire flick...I know it was set in the Midwest, but come on! I hadn't seen that many pasties in basketball scenes since Hoosiers...

    I've never seen 61*, but by all accounts I've heard, it should be in this contest.
