Cool Runnings
You'll love Cool Runnings - the outrageously funny comedy hits inspired by the true story of Jamaica's first Olympic bobsled team. They were four unlikely athletes with one impossible dream. Now, with the help of ex-champion as their coach (John Candy - Last ever film outing), four Jamaicans leave their sunny island home and enter the chilly winter Olympics to complete for the gold in a sport they know nothing about - bobsled racing!
 
Escape to Victory
This is no ordinary soccer match: this is war!
The battlefield: a stadium in occupied Paris. The armies: German all-stars vs. ragtag Allied POWs. The objective: demonstrate another "proof" of Aryan superiority. Guess who wins? Better yet, guess who cleverly uses the match as a means of escape?
Happy Gilmore
Adam Sandler stars in this hilarious comedy that scores a hole in one for gut-busting wit and outrageous slapstick. Happy, a raucous hockey player turned golfer, sends the sedate sport into overdrive after he becomes a media sensation with his outlandish antics on the links. It's par for the course entertainment co-starring Christopher McDonald, Carl Weathers and Kevin Nealon.
Major League
This is a Classic baseball film from the '80's. Starring Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger and Wesley snipes, can not be missed.
Best Shot
Nominated for two Academy Awards, this triumphant tale of a high school basketball teams' long-shot attempt to ascend to the State Championship is filled with edge-of-your-seat suspense and breathless excitement! Featuring "fast-break cinematography that catches the pace of the game" (Washington Post) and intense, heart-rending performances from Gene Hackman, Barbara Hershey and Dennis Hopper, Hoosiers redefined the sports movie with a realism and frankness that make you believe in its small-town characters - and cheer for them over and over again.
Hackman is Norman Dale, a basketball coach whose checkered past has led him to a last-chance position with a last-chance team. Made to feel unwelcome by squad members, an icy fellow teacher (Hershey) and townspeople who nearly have him fired, Dale perseveres with a gritty demeanor and an unwavering passion for the game. But winning over the team is only half the battle in a world where small-town teams can end up playing big-time rivals...and a downtrodden outsider can rouse the pride of an entire county. |

The Replacements
Underdogs become top dogs in this fun-filled, rough-and-fumble comedy that's a laugh a minute
Keanu Reeves plays Shane Falco, a washed-out all-American QB who guides a team of misfits assembled by veteran coach Jimmy McGinty (Gene Hackman) to replace striking pro players. A motormouth receiver, a merciless linebacker, a nicotine-wired kicker (Rhys Ifans) and more line up alongside Falco for a drive to the playoffs. For sultry support, there's cheerleader Annabelle Farrell (Brooke Langton) and her ex-stripper squad. "Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory lasts forever,"
remember the titans
Denzel Washington gives a victorious performance in this stirring and uplifting film. Based on a real-life drama,
after leading his team to fifteen winning seasons, football coach Bill Yoast is demoted and replaced by Herman Boone (Washington): tough, opinionated, and as different from the beloved Yoast as he could be. How these two men overcome their differences, and turn a group of hostile young men into champions, plays out in a remarkable and triumphant story full of soul and spirit.
Mighty Ducks
All Time Kids Classic! - Emilio Estevez stars in the hilarious comedy hit, The Mighty Ducks are the Champions! Aggressive trial lawyer Gordon Bombay (Estevez) has never lost a case. But when he's sentenced to a community service assignment, he must coach a ragtag team of Pee Wee Hockey players who can't skate, can't score and can't win! First, he teaches the hapless team everything about winning, and then they teach him that winning isn't everything. Watch the pucks fly as they battle their way to the most important game of their lives!
Goal!
Every dream has a beginning...
Santiago Munez harbours the dream of becoming a professional footballer. After an extraordinary turn of events, the poor Mexican-American immigrant has the chance to make his dream a reality when Newcastle United come calling...
The Greatest game Ever played
The story is based on a real-life event, the 1913 U.S. Open golf championship, at which two equally sympathetic young men, both of whom grew up economically and socially disadvantaged, go club to club in one of the most exciting and dramatic athletic events of the early 20th century.
