The Greatest Comedic Sports Movie

Featured Replies

No not Major League which most sheep will say, it certainly is a classic comedy but in no way can it compare to Slap Shot.

 

I was reorganizing my DVD's today and decided to put Slap Shot in and even after the numerous times of watching it, the jokes and classic movies never get old.

 

It's not as much The Hanson Brothers as it's Paul Newman quite possibly the coolest man to ever live, so smooth with delivery and set up so many great jokes including one of the first jokes of the movie.

 

Paul's talking to an opponent. "I'm a f***ing drunk and my wife left me and that a**hole over there keeps putting me out here when he knows I'm s*** faced, if anyone checks me into the boards I'm gonna piss myself" Then when Bradden gives him the check he just walks back into the bench with his hands all over himself down there.

 

So many great moments and a sad day that most kids have either no idea about this movie let alone watch it.

I love the opening scene where the goalie smacking around the reporter. That movie is friggin hilarious.

The first 10 minutes of the movie alone are worth to buy the dvd, at the fashion show he makes a huge deal about whipping it out if he has to wear that robe, The owner takes the phone and all you hear are women screaming and running.

 

I love that movie.

Great Movie

 

I'd have to say my fav sports comedy is Caddyshack though

Caddyshack fo sho

Happy Gilmore as well

 

hell, I'll even add Waterboy (and I'm not a Sandler fan particularly)

To Compare Happy Gilmore to Slapshot is hilarious. Happy Gilmorre tried to mix Caddyshack and SlapShot together and still try to get a pg 13 rating which is so dumb, it's beyond reasonable thinking. If you're going to do a good sports comedy an R rating is all you should be aiming for, and it showed in Happy Gilmore which tried to use lame physical humor to make up for swears. What came out was another stupid Adam Sandler movie who's about as hackish you can get for a high paid actor. If they wanted it to be a good movie they wouldn't have wasted the great supporting cast they had including Carl Weathers.

I guess I'm going to be a "sheep" and say Major League. I thought that it was funnier than Slapshot and Caddyshack.

I should probably rewatch Slapshot, cause the one time I saw it, it just didn't do anything for me. I found the Hanson brothers amusing, but the rest of the movie I was all :sleeping

 

I'm gonna have to agree with Caddyshack.

Caddyshack has got to be the funniest. Chevy Chase as Ty Webb steals the show. and there is no one, i think, anyone can hate more than Judge Smails. when he gives the caddy a handful of change as a tip...classic.

Adam Sandler is one of the funniest comedic actors in the world. I own each and every one of his movies. He is awesome.

Caddyshack. So many great lines from that movie too. "A Cinderella story...the 18th at Augusta..."

 

Second best for me is SlapShot.

Major League. Slap Shots is a POS overrated 70s movie with a cult following. It just falls under the "cool to like since it's not mainstream" category.

2) LITTLE GIANTS (that was the name of the movie right?)

Yeah, that was hilarious.

 

"I call it, Intimidation."

Except for 50 first dates, Mr Deeds, and oh, everything since Big Daddy. He sucks lately, Happy Madison production = :thumbdown

 

However, I'll go with Happy Gilmore, I thought it was funny.

I already bought 50 First Dates. I thought it was awesome. And yes, I already owned Mr. Deeds. He's hilarious. If you liked Big Daddy, how can you not like the rest of his stuff?? Especially Little Nicky.. That movie was awesome.

 

Adam Sandler is right up there with Mike Myers for me....
