Do you know what tomorrow is? It's the MONEYBALL OPENER!  My favorite book of all time has been made into a movie starting the hottest actor ever Brad Pit and I'll be seeing it at 10 pm tomorrow night.  I am soooooo pumped  If you don't know what I'm talking about, take a look at this preview.

In anticipation of tomorrow night (27 1/2 hours to go!!!), I decided to do an ode to my top 10 sports movies of all time.

10) Searching for Bobby Fisher: Who knew chess could be so cool? This movie inspired me to become a grand master chess champion...for like 5 minutes.  Once I lost a game in 5 moves to my younger brother, I knew it wasn't the sport for me.

9) For Love of the Game:  Girls, here is the sports movie for you.  A complete chick flick, guaranteed to make your day whenever you're feeling a little down. 

8) The Pride of the Yankees:  Lou Gherig's famous last speech makes this movie.  Expect tears, and lots of them.
7) Water Boy: Classic Adam Sandler...god I haven't seen this movie in forever.  As soon as I'm done with this post, I know what I'll be watching.

6) The Rookie:  It's a story that is completely out of the Disney playbook...but the weird thing is, it's true!

5) Seabiscuit: This is the classic overachiever story.  You can't help but fall in love with this horse, and this jockey.  I promise by the end of the movie, you will be cheering along with all the rest of the fans. 

4) A League of Their Own:  Even the fact that I was forced to watch this on every road trip I ever took with my softball team couldn't ruin how good a film it is.

3) Jerry Maguire: Convinced me I didn't want to be a sports agent. 

2) Remember the Titans: Tackles a tough topic beautifully.  It doesn't shy away from showing the tough aspects, but at the same time creates completely lovable characters that you can't help but root for.  Plus...the Titans entrance onto the field might be my favorite entrance of all time. 

1) Field of Dreams:  Not only is this my favorite sports movie of all time, but its my favorite movie of all time!  "If you build it, they will come".  Guaranteed to give you chills every time...I've even thought about going to Iowa to see it for myself!  That's how good this movie is...it will make you want to take a trip to Iowa.

So next time you're board, curl up with a glass of wine and watch one of these great flicks.  You won't regret it.
