    Hoosiers won pretty easy over Field of Dreams.

    The Natural and Rocky was closer, but Rocky prevailed.

    Hoosiers

    vs.

    Rocky



    Voting ends Thursday at noon.

    Please use the poll to place your vote as that will be the tally method. Feel free to post your thoughts regardless.

    May the best sports move win!!

    My vote goes to Hoosiers.

    I love old timey sports movies. Love the small town/small farm feel to this movie.

    Everyone knows who Jimmy Chipwood is. :)

    Hoosiers. Hackman is awesome and so was Stallone in Rocky, but Basketball is my favorite sport

    Rocky captured the essence of philly, boxing, and life. You lose and you fee good about it.

    Definitely Rocky. I have seen both and Rocky is the superior film. It's got it all. One of the best movies ever.

    Hoosiers.

    Rocky was a very good movie but I'm just not that big of a Stallone fan.

    How can anyone vote against Rocky.

    Forget the movies since. Sylvestor Stallone was amazing in Rocky.

    Talia Shire. The arrogance of Apollo Creed which ultimately led to Respect.

    Hitting the meat. Running the streets of Philly.

    The banner with the wrong color shorts. The drunken brother in law.

    Burgess Meredith.

    The music.


    The 15 rounds.


    You people are unAmerican!

    My vote is for Rocky

    basketball is definitely my favorite sport, but Rocky is the winner here without a doubt.

    Rocky beat out The Natural?

    I demand a recount...the Natural blows both of these movies away.

    PFFTTT....

    I want all hanging chads counted.

    The Natural? You mean when Robert Redford hits that weak pop up to the pitcher and we're expected to believe it's a monster shot to the moon?

    Yeah.
