🕑 Added 2024-07-17 16:00:07 +0000 UTCOkay, I missed a few popular sports movies on our sports poll last month! I've added a few of your recommendations. Help me choose what to watch next!

Well that's a really diverse lineup! Quite the film festival. Caddyshack is the only one I personally like, but I honestly feel A League Of Their Own would be the best Addie reaction. Its overall setting and story would be just her thing, I think.

Yeah, like "Top Gun," the "Karate Kid" movies are among the very few beloved/popular '80s movies that don't do anything for me. I never saw the third one, and I literally only remember the HOOOOONNNK! bit from the second one.
Byrd N. Hand
Tomorrow or Friday, most likely. Saturday at the very latest.
Byrd N. Hand
She's also now getting into the "Planet of the Apes" series and could potentially also be doing the entire "Naked Gun" trilogy and the 2 "Ocean's" sequels, so she's got a lot on her plate right now.

Adam Sandler's annoying voice in it alone is walkout-worthy. I can't believe people still like all those man-child movies of his. 🤷♂️ Only "Punch-Drunk Love" is worthwhile for me, largely because it was made by a proper filmmaker in Paul Thomas Anderson.

So vote for everything except the one you want!

Waterboy is one of four movies I've ever walked out of in my life.
Chris Brown
Is My Cousin Vinny going up on YouTube soon? I've been looking forward to it.
Chris Brown
Consider adding Little Big League to a future sports poll.
zynjams
it doesn't matter what i vote for, it always loses
Alex Lee
Cobra Kai would be a great series to do after the Karate Kid movies.
Randolph Tirazona
Oh! Ollie wants to dance with the gopher on "CaddyShack" (1980) !!!
Aldo Gonzales
She’s doing Mission: Impossible at the moment, but Cobra Kai would be a good one to do right after.
Andrew Storing
Definitely Karate Kid and the two sequels that follow and then the Cobra Kai series after those.
Byrd N. Hand
Alas, it appears to have replaced "Blade Runner" as the new perennial poll loser around here. 😕
Doug
A League of Their Own and Moneyball are my favorites on this list. I think Addie would like Karate Kid too, even though I'm not into that one as much.
BubblyRainbows
Those were my votes.
Thomas Wetherell
Rudy deserves more love. Not on any specific channel, just in general.
Alexis
If you want a fantastic sports movie (and haven't already seen it), I strongly recommend Oliver Stone's 1999 "Any Given Sunday".
Randolph Tirazona
Wax on, wax off!
Wolverine
Also the Karate Kid sucks, that entire franchise is trash
Wolverine
The Karate Kid doesn’t claim to be “based on a true story”, pretty stupid statement on your part
The Dingo
Karate Kid, on the other hand, is 100% based in reality LOL
The Dingo
Most movies based on real events are almost entirely lies, but it's still an enjoyable movie
The Dingo
Karate Kid I, II, and III followed by Cobra Kai - you will be really happy with this choice!
Bryan Fritchie
My point is that I don't care which one wins, They'll all be good for a reaction video.
Aldo Gonzales
I feel like she’ll enjoy the whole thing.
LaserLamb
😆Yeah, what's the point? What I do is, if 1 or 2 of the ones I'd vote for are already ahead, I don't vote for them because they already don't need my help. I then vote for the ones I also like but are low on votes, to promote them as well. I then keep an eye on how the poll is shaping up every day, in case I need to add/subtract a vote or two. 🗳 It makes the "race" that much more interesting, to me, anyway. 🤷🏻♂️
Jesse Shadows
If you do watch the karate kid, please watch the whole series. It is 100% worth it. Especially if you watch cobra Kai as well.
Randee Carreno
Happy Wednesday, Addie! 😊 I hope that you're feeling better. All great choices, however "The Karate Kid" easily got my vote. Just be ready to watch the two sequel movies if you don't get to "Cobra Kai" right away. Have a great day today! 😊
Aldo Gonzales
I said it before: if Karate Kid had been included last time, it would’ve won for sure. We’re a little behind, but it has begun.
Henkan
It's my pick of the bunch. Screenplay by Steven Zaillan as well, he's great with characters, dialogues and "drive" in a story, imo. Zaillan wrote "Schindler's List", "the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (Fincher version), the first "Mission: Impossible" movie, and "Gangs of New York", to name a few.
Philip Davetas
If you're gonna watch TED LASSO then you have to watch MAJOR LEAGUE to get some of the references. I would've switched out CADDYSHACK for THE NATURAL. CADDYSHACK isn't so much a sports movie but a collection of would-be funny gags. I heard that the original script was a three-hour epic. But they could've been joking about it. But I chose THE REPLACEMENTS. It's got everything--sports, comedy, romance. It's unconventional much like THE LONGEST YARD.
Thats MR. Baldamort
Wish Major League was doing better. It's one of the best comeback sports movies out there
Tina P
A League of Their Own and The Replacements I like very much
Alex Tan
Happy Wednesday, Addie. All are great choices but I feel that The Karate Kid (1984) & A League of Their Own (1992) ended up with my votes here. EDIT: *The Waterboy (1998) is also in my votes as well.
Jason Morales
You can’t go wrong with any of these choices. This is a tough one. “Moneyball “ is a really interesting insight of how a General Manager and an advisor changed how to put together a team in the MLB. Based on a true story. Same cinematographer of The Dark Knight Trilogy Wally Phister. Shot beautifully.😉
Wolverine
Rudy is 99% lies, I used to love that movie until I found out it’s basically fiction.
Bryan Fritchie
For the first time ever, I literally just voted for every single movie (basically canceling myself out). 🤣
KingGoji94
Caddyshack!
Billy Dancel
More Keanu Reeves in The Replacements!
